Not sure what Pep G saw in him either. 47.5 million if I remember right. He was never a Man City player but as you say chased the extra dosh..
They wanted a backup to Rodri and he was seen as a ‘cheap’ option but he wasn’t exactly young when they signed him. In fact, he’s older than Rodri.

They would’ve been better off keeping Roméo Lavia. They signed that Nico González from Porto in the winter 2025 transfer window for about £50 million and he actually could be a long-term successor to Rodri and Man City were playing better this season when González was starting.

Comes with having “ legitimate wealth “ behind you to play with I guess.
 
Apologies if this has already been posted somewhere but how good is this recovery from Millar:

Brilliant.

And love his reaction - in a friendly.

Never seen him bust a gut like that for us, mind.



As an aside - who the **** are Too-knee-zja?
 
Come back when you have some time. Would love to know how you think it would be possible and how many countries would.
It would only come via more money from an alternative organisation .
That would either be private equity or br State Sponsored like the Saudi League..
The World Cup has become to big .
Roll on the Euros .
Hopefully it will stay at 24 teams
