Danny Murphy has pointed out a weakness in one player that Manchester City has been linked with for a transfer. The Blues have a history of signing players from other Premier League clubs during transfer windows, and the latest target is Bruno Guimaraes. Murphy believes that Guimaraes lacks the elite athleticism and mobility that players like Rodri and Declan Rice possess, despite being a talented and intelligent footballer.
While Guimaraes may not have the same level of athleticism as some other top midfielders in the league, he has shown his work rate and determination on the pitch. In terms of distance covered, Guimaraes has impressive stats, ranking fourth in the Premier League for distance covered at one point in the season. However, Murphy highlighted that Rodri, one of City’s current midfielders, had surpassed Guimaraes in terms of distance covered in a single game, indicating a potential difference in mobility between the players.
Despite Murphy’s comments, the decision on whether to pursue a transfer for Guimaraes ultimately lies with Manchester City. While the player may not have the same level of mobility as Rodri or Rice, his other qualities and contributions to his team should also be considered. Guimaraes has shown his worth as a talented midfielder, and City may still see him as a valuable addition to their squad, despite any perceived weaknesses highlighted by pundits.
