Big City fan and a Scrubs fan. Never thought I'd hear "Guy Love" sang on a City Channel.
Sosa what a downgrade !
Txiki and Pep destroyed our so good squad and now they will sell Bernardo and make us suffer throughout this season
Surprised they sold Zinczenko without having a replacement lined up. Now they are running around almost desperate. Some of these mentioned players are a journey into the unknown.
Why are we acting like we are broke
Spent 100mil on 1 player but can't even buy a proper LB
Angelino….. ugh
If the full back were signing can't defend better than zincenko then I'd rather we go with Wilson-esbrand
Just buy the starting lb and have Josh Wilson-esbrand as the backup. If Josh isnโt good enough Joรฃo can play on lb. Would like to see Borna Sosa, his delivery and crosses are top notch. If they sell Silva Iโd rather they play foden in his role and bring in a winger instead of bringing in another cam and keeping foden out wide. I feel foden is better centrally than out wide.
1. Sosa or Guerreiro
2. Gaya
3. Grimaldo
Ait nouri is the man
Why did we sell Zinchencko without a plan for replacement
Annoyingly, I think this transfer window has been soured a lot by selling Zinchenko (and to a less extent Sterling!). Hoping to be proven wrong by signing a competent LB and winning against West Ham
I never understand why city didnโt get Cucarella
Happy we aren't involved in this cucurella mess. He will be angling for a move back to Barcelona in a season or two anyway if he keeps up his form. Happy to go in for Sosa hopefully who has an insane cross! My main concern honestly with the rest of the transfeer window is that I am about 99% sure we are losing Bernardo. He wants to go but at least is being respectful and not rocking the boat. Losing him will be the biggest loss for our club in a long time. If it must happen I would say we should go for a pacy LW and let foden play in bernardo's spot and he can rotate with gundogan
Would you take Depay from Barca? They maybe letting him go on a free and he can play and where in forward area
You fans are always just so pathetic. You are fans I agree however there's a team involved in managerial decisions for the betterment of the team. If you do not agree with management maybe you should be in that job yourself instead of just complaining about it. Most of you forget when Ruben Dias was purchased by Manchester city and the commentators and announcers trolled Pep and his team for signing their 3rd best option after Coulibali and Inigo Martinez who at the time were considered over priced by Manchester City. The city management team stood their ground, brought in Dias and next we saw the best player in the league. Cucurella is an excellent player i agree but there's no reason why 1 year after being signed for 15 million, Brighton now insist on 50+ million plus add ons because city is involved. There are a plethora of players in the world to choose from and yes city must make that decision from within the lot. Its basic financial and managerial accounting 101. If we have learned any lessons in the past years, it is the fact that the players that city have tried who end up playing in other clubs are never any good in the end. Just ask Alex is Sanchez, Eric Bailly, Harry Maguire etc how it all ended for them.
So pissed off we lost out on Cucurella.
If Bernardo Silva does leave I will only accept Joao Felix as the likely replacement. He is young talented and can be moulded into a world class midfielder.
Love the third kit!! ๐
What passes me off the most is we sold good players like Sterling Jesus and Zinchenko to rivals for ridiculously low price. Now we have no left back and lack pace on the wings. Still don't understand why we paid 100m for Grealish and can't pay 50m for Cucurella.
If we paid 50mil for mendy y tf are we not paying 59 for cucu
City's search for a left back has been disappointing for me. Like Levy like Bloom, City should have known that. I don't understand how they found themselves in this same position AGAIN ๐
1. We need players at the back. We need 1 left footed LB. Better be quick too.
2. Would have been good to let go of Ake for 40-45 and signed someone with PACE. We have a huge weakness against fast attackers. Have had for a long time. Vinicius, Vardy, Kane-Son, Zaha, Salah have always caused us problems beacause we play such a high line. The ONLY answer to playing that style is to have fast defenders.
3. Play Phil Foden in the midfield. Use his creativity
4. Alvarez, Harland, Mahrez will work out okay.
5. Grealish needs to get his act together. If he doesnโt sort himself out then weโre in trouble. No Sterling or Jesus to bail us out in that scenario.
Trust in Pep ! The club have a plan
Chelsea is using Man City as their scout similar to Murino @ Man U with McGuire and Sanchez. Coucurella to Chelsea could end up like the 2 guys who chose Man U over Man City ๐๐๐๐๐
Cucurella was the right choice & now blown it, so looking late now & desperate buying now shambles. ๐คฌ
"Toss him off" hahahahaaa
City infuriate me when it comes to signings, they sell to rivals for dirt cheap then either pay through nose for other players or become so stingy they walk away when they should just pay it. I don't know what's going on at city right now but we've been left in a bit of a predicament.
