Akanji has to play against Vini and I think Gvardiol has to play if fit - but sitting deeper, with Stones stepping into midfield from CB. I like Rico a lot but his best role is inverting into midfield and that would leave us exposed - we lose the ball and he doesn't have the Walker recovery pace.

Berrada can apparently be the lead of a commercial department that has overinflated revenue, from disreputable companies but also be completely clean of any dodgy illegalities but also he's a good commercial guy who can now 'go straight' now he's going to United. Smart.

It's ok, Txiki can do a job there and Soriano can play across the CEO, CFO and COO roles

The squad isn't smaller but it does have players that Pep doesn't trust to play - that and the injuries have made it feel stretched absolutely thin. With Doku & Haaland out, I'd like this. Nunes needs minutes and provides decent carrying ability ahead of Rodri/Stones. Foden as an 8. Ederson...

Raw but exciting & talented as fuck. He terrifies defenders! Time with Pep will only improve his flaws and if he contines to perform like today in the meantime...

Good game that. In the first half if Erling had been his usual best, we would have been a couple up before their goal. Doku was excellent. I called out Bernardo & Haaland for their performances and they then both scored - I'll be slagging them off more often! 3 points away at a tough team (at...

First half was pish: poor build up - due in part to the set up and the players in forward positions - and very sloppy play. Our second was definitely offside. Second half we were much much better and clinical. Nice game time for Doku who will get better, great cameo from Gomez & great to see...

Good summation piece. Think he's definitely right about how we operate in non-release clause transfers (leverage) and how next year we will essentially have to plan for Bernardo's exit.

I'd say an 7.5/10. Gvardiol & Kovacic have fitted in seamlessly and Doku is an incredibly exciting signing. I do like Nunes and think he has a good skillset for City, but I think his flaws are what you expect and settle for in a 4th choice midfielder during a window. The midfield transfer...

Presume fhat Gravenberch will be on the move when Paulinha is signed.

Brilliant draw for us. Good one for Arsenal. United's will be tough. Newcastle's group is brutal. Reminiscent of our first couple of seasons in the Champions League.

Ducker reporting on McAtee's interest in getting minutes elsewhere. That, Palmer going and Phillips possibly going on loan leaves spaces in the squad. If we aren't interested in replacements, as per Bajikowski, Bobb will be getting some decent minutes. Talented player so hopefully he has no...

I'd hope McAtee stays - for depth but he'd also get a good chance to get minutes in the cups.

Palmer not getting replaced and McAtee possibly still going on loan. Interesting. https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/man-city-transfer-news-palmer-27624201?utm_source=twitter.com&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=sharebar

Happy that this looks to be getting done, surprising as it seemed like it wasn't going to happen. Wolves will be happy with the money, cut price on Doyle & help with Bueno. Rodri will be happy with additional help!
