Good result for Forest that.

Rodri done for the season with an ACL. Major loss for City.
Wow, that is huge. It looked bad at the time in the way he was holding the back of his knee. As is often the case, from a completely innocuous incident while making a run across the defender from a corner.
It wouldn't be quite so bad if they could rely on KdB to be fit, but he's in and out these days as well. I don't like City losing midfielders, it makes me nervous for MGW in January.
If City were in for Morgan, then nobody will (or should) stand in his way because he would have absolutely earned it. That said, with the greatest of respect to our captain, I think they would be shopping at a more expensive store, especially if they were seeking to replace Rodri.
Think that's right and we can only hope that Man City aren't tempted to throw us in the briar patch with a £70M bid for Sangaré.
To be clear, I don't think Morgan is in any way a Rodri replacement - he more naturally plays in KdB's role, but those are mighty big shoes to fill. That said, given there have been rumours of City having interest I can see them wanting to sign him as an understudy.
100 million sounds reasonable. It’s what they paid for Grealish, so you could consider it a slightly discounted rate, allowing for inflation over the last 3 years.
