Tijjani Reijnders, Manchester City's summer signing, has fans split on his performance. Some believe he's worth waiting on, while others think he's not living up to expectations. Reijnders joined City from AC Milan, where he stood out despite his team's struggles. He's a versatile midfielder but hasn't found his footing yet at City.

Reijnders' Recent Performance

Reijnders recently got his first league start in over a month during City's win against Leeds. But not everyone thinks he deserves more playing time. On the Man City Reddit page, opinions vary widely.

Fan Reactions

  • Frustrated Fans: Some fans are frustrated, saying he doesn't add much to the team and should be replaced.
  • Patient Fans: Others think he just needs time to adjust to Guardiola's system.

One fan pointed out that Reijnders is 27 and has experience as a full international, so he wasn't brought in as a long-term project. They expect him to perform well right away. Another fan suggested that having Rodri back in the midfield could help Reijnders improve. But others think Rodri's return might mean fewer chances for Reijnders.

Contract and Future

Reijnders signed a contract until 2030, so he's not in immediate danger of being dropped. But he'll need to step up his game to keep his spot. For now, fans are still waiting to see what he can do.

City's January Transfer Plans

Meanwhile, City might be looking to make big moves in January. They're reportedly interested in Antoine Semenyo and Elliot Anderson. It's shaping up to be an interesting season for the club.
