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.

    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.

    People were saying that Haaland doesn't fit their system before he joined.

    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.
