Another fan pinpointed that while there is room for improvement for the Dutchman in terms of winning duels in the middle of the park, he would be an excellent addition for Pep Guardiola’s men: “As I watch his tape, Reijnders doesn’t look too imposing in duels/riding contact at times. Otherwise, top class passer of the ball particularly from the left-hand side, has shown potential to dictate games for the Netherlands, good engine, scores goals. Really great signing.”
A fifth supporter replied: “Chuffed about this one compared to the other signings we’re linked to. One out of three or one of two of the midfield rebuild is sorted. Rodri and Reijnders is gonna be a beautiful sight.”
Finally, a sixth City fan compared Reijnders’ potential signing to that of Omar Marmoush, who has impressed for Manchester City: “Reijnders is in that Marmoush range of signings. World-class players that are in the top 10 in their positions and can help the team right after coming. Always good having confirmed players and not gambling, I’m actually happy, best signing [alongside Omar] since [Josko] Gvardiol.”
