    I mean it would be a stupid transfer on cities part. What spend 100 mil to get 20 games a year. He’s a brilliant player no doubt but he doesn’t really suit cities system (though I’m sure guardiola could create a new one to fit him) and he just can’t stay healthy.

      There’s not a single system that Reece James wouldn’t fit. He’s like the perfect fullback because there’s not a single weakness in his game. He’s defensively brilliant, he’s great in possession, he’s great in the final third. He’s got everything you want in a fullback.

        Well yes but no it’s about maximising his talents. Playing reece James in cities current system would minimise his great delivery and attacking output and if you only utilise half a players abilities it’s not really worth it.

          Haaland and Doku (although still early) had constant injuries before they came to City and now they look better in terms of fitness

        I think Reece is an unbelievable player. That said his concentration can be a glaring weakness. He loses track of his man who slips away from him in the 2nd halves of games now and then and it has punished us badly before. The weakness was particularly apparent when he was playing RCB.

        I mean he doesn’t really. They weren’t creating more chances he just finishes the ones he gets at a higher rate and is more able to latch onto passes and other stuff.

          He’s probably the most naturally gifted goalscorer in men’s football at the moment, playing for a team that generates a ton of chances for him. In my books he fits the system perfectly.
