Rodri: “I am not afraid [of not returning to my level]. I know the player I am. This kind of injury is not like thirty years ago - the medical staff have given me infinite peace of mind, that I shouldn’t worry, that I can come back without anything that will weigh me down!” 🤗

I know we are having a terrible season by Pep's standards but I am so happy our Academy is producing so many great graduates who are thriving in different clubs.
Happy new Year everyone 🎉🍾🎉

Counter-attacks are so important for the current situation, If we do it well, the results would be so much better, especially we have doku-Haaland-savinho-McAtee because of their pace, they are so good in transitions.

I have a lot of time on my hands and made a small list of really promising midfielders, add to and/or share your critics of my list.
**Disclaimer:** *I am not even close to a professional scout. These are my opinions and they are debatable. Also on the same note most of these have few/no solid Cons because I don't see these players on a regular basis. This isn't a ranking list.*
**Shea Charles:** Sheffield Wednesday, English, CM/DM, 21yro, €10.00m MarketValue
**Pros: Well rounded, cant name a stand out quality**
City graduate (familiar with the system and structure of the club)
Mobile midfielder (fast and agile)
Physically Strong and aggressive
Good pace
Good pass
Very good at dribbling
Shows fantastic ability to progress the ball forward after recovering it. (More often through a pass and other times with a dribble and charge)
Very solid defensively, good at tackling, intercepting and dispossessing.
Shows he can be press resistant but I didn't see enough to know much.
**Cons:**
Former city academy player so it means we unloaded him for a reason.
**Gabriel Moscardo:** PSG, Brazilian, DM, 19yro, €12.00m MV
**Pros: Stand out defensive qualities**
Looks like a beast in midfield.
Physically strong, aggressive and fearless DM
Decent pace
Decent pass
Not afraid to dribble but it isn't anything to write home about
Can progress the ball well
Great defending. Great at tackling, intercepting and dispossessing.
**Cons:**
This is a very big con. His hype is from last year during his time at Corinthians in Brazil. This year I haven't heard much from his hype in Europe
PSG player, so its a bit tricky for city to purchase him. A little hope comes from the fact that he is on loan so he isnt in direct PSG plans.
**Aleksandar Pavlovic:** Bayern Munich, German, CM/DM, 20yro, €50.00m MV
**Pros: Stand out passing qualities**
Honestly the most city like midfielder I have seen in a while, Very Rodri like.
Mobile midfielder (fast and agile)
Physically strong.
Good Pace
Great passer. He prefers long passes and overhead through balls and excels at it. Ambidextrous (My favorite trait in footballers so naturally I really rate this guy)
Good Dribbling
Good ball progression.
Solid Defender, good at tackling, intercepting and dispossessing.
Has goals in his locker, a great trait for a DM
**Cons:**
He looks generational and bayern will be very protective of him.
**Tom Bischof:** Hoffenheim, German, CM/DM/AM, 19yro, €3.50m MV
**Pros: Very well rounded, his dribbling stands out but has a lot more to offer than just that.**
Looks like a hidden gem. Seems like a complete midfielder.
Mobile midfielder (fast and agile)
Strong and aggressive.
Very Pacey.
Good pass
Very good at dribbling
Good at progressive carrying
Solid Defender, good at intercepting and dispossessing.
Has goals in his locker, a great trait for a CM
Versatile with positions on the pitch CM, DM, AM and apparently wings too
Very good shot
**Cons:**
I have a feeling he will have bidders from every top club soon.
**Adam Wharton:** Crystal Palace, English, CM/DM, 20yro, €30m MV
**Pros: Stand out passing and defensive qualities**
Very city coded player. Premier league proven and linked with us in the last few months.
Physically strong and aggressive.
Decent pace.
Great passer. He prefers long passes and overhead balls and excels at it. Decent weak foot too.
Decent ball progression.
Great defending. Great at tackling, intercepting and dispossessing.
This falls under passing but I have to stress this quality. He has great vision and ability to pick his target. Has a beauty of a ping almost Pirlo-esque.
**Cons:**
Probably going to be hard to get from palace for a low fee and other PL clubs will definitely be bidding against us.
Honourable Mentions: Ederson (atalanta), Amadou Onana, Paulinha, Zubimendi, Bruno G, Kimmich
*City are due a rebuild and I think these players are the future of midfield. We would be wise to scout and buy one or maybe 2. I would love to hear from you blues who you have been following or who you like
