Doku transfer is basically complete. Rumours of another attacking midfielder (possibly Eze) are also picking up. This, in combination with our 3 games played, has made me want to write up something fascinating about what Pep is doing. First things first, I will make a prediction of what I...

Feels like he should have a thread. 21, so very young, and has apparently had a very good season at Sevilla, with some people rating him higher than Diego Carlos. Hopefully people who have watched him can chime in more about him.

With Sane practically gone and Sterling being our only “speed” outlet it has always bugged that we keep trying to force Mahrez and Bernardo on the right wing to keep the same formation. They have done fine there but Mahrez was great at Leicester in RW mainly on counter attacking set ups and when...

If for some reason City cannot buy any players, just wanted to compile a list of potential players in various positions we could build up. Center Backs: Eric Garcia, Harwood-Bellis Fullbacks: Frimpong <--- admittedly not super knowledgeable on the quality of fullbacks in our academy/loanees...

From players who have played a meaningful number of minutes: Highest Expected Goals per 90 mins 1. Gabriel Jesus - 0.90 in 767 mins 2. Sergio Aguero - 0.75 in 1291 mins 3. Salah - 0.69 in 1855...

The partnership between Galatasaray and City will begin in January. City will send players on free loans, which will help Galatasaray with their FFP problems, and the loanees will develop in Turkey. Galatasaray are waiting for a list of players Guardiola doesn't need. [Hurriyet] Galatasaray...

My biggest issue with loans are: 1) The player doesn't belong to the other club so they have little incentive to play them, or 2) The player gets loaned to crap teams because good teams won't buy them as they'd just develop their own talent We have alot of loanees coming back this season; and...

Just some thoughts on how to maximize squad effectiveness when certain players are not fit. The said formation is: --------Aguero/Jesus------Sterling--------- Sane-----Gundogan-----Kevin-------B. Silva Delph-----CB---------CB---------Walker I will preface my discussion by saying that while...

Curious on the collective thoughts on this issue: Personal opinion: If a team plays football very pragmatically with class players and can win trophies, but are also boring to watch then would you be happy? Does the one trophy you win at the end overcome the hours of boredom you had to go...

I think 2 reasons for this imo: 1) Lack of goal scoring wingers, easier to rely on 2 goal scorers than 3 Examples: City: Jesus-Aguero Tottenham: Alli-Kane Real Madrid: Ronaldo-Benzema Bayern: Muller-Lewandowski Atletico: Griezmann-(Whoever they pick, hard to pinpoint) Juventus...

I'm probably going to make a controversial statement but just how I feel, so much money being thrown about that it's rather annoying and upsetting. I know that football has alot of money in it but just browsing any sort of news shows all these ridiculous fees thrown about that it just feels out...

How do you guys see our squad shaping up after the more senior players leave? Just curious on people's opinion's about this, and may learn of some young players you guys fancy at the club in the future. For example I would envision something like this...

In regards to all the potential signings to be done, I couldn't stop thinking about how to best maximize the squad's strengths utilizing the players we will have and use rotation to the maximum. 4-3-3 is still fine and will probably be used next season (although Pep loves for try new formation...

When Pep came in I didn't really expect us to win anything this year, because I saw it as a transition, and that it would be difficult to play the beautiful style he is known for. At the start of the season we saw it developing, but then he changed to 3 at the back, which even Kevin later...
