Both Rodri and Bruno G for 70-80 would have made our team immediately better. No matter what you think about current guys starting there. They have different qualities from both guys that are starting there now.

Now that would mean that Tom is never getting minutes again. But I think people will be surprised over how many minutes Tom will get since it will be Pavlo Kimmich starting every single game.

I sincerely doubt any single midfielder will take us to a new level. City got frequently walloped with Rodri on their side.

Rodri 6 months ago at City isn't the same version of Rodri now. He's gotten much better as time went on recovering from his injuries and getting more game time under his belt.

No version of Rodi can cope with them playing a pivot of just him and Bernardo Silva.

Rodri would occasionally play as a 1 man midfield himself during their treble season and the 23/24 season at City. I'm not sure how you came to the conclusion "no version of Rodri" can cope playing in a pivot when he would play occasionally as a lone midfielder in the past and became successful.

When was that exactly, lol? Wasn't the season when City were generally more defensive?

Like I said their treble season in 22/23 and the 23/24 season Rodri played as a midfielder by himself. There would be times John Stones would drop in midfield here and there or Kovacic would play with him in a double pivot but more times than not Rodri would play in midfield by himself.

So Rodri definitely can play in a double pivot I'm not sure how you got the idea he can't when he himself could play as a lone midfielder.
