Great signing,no worries,you said he is the better goal scorer,how many did they all score last season or his title winning one if you like? jeez indeed lol,he is several years more experienced so might well have scored more,i honestly don't know
All done.
He will take No.26.
Welcome Riyad :)
Next.
Not too sure. He was 19 at Shalke too and pretty soon, if not already, his number will be synonymous with him.Sané I would imagine.
We don't DROP, we ROTATE and have 4 fronts to fight on.

Can't see him changing it.
I liked Bony as a team member, but playing on the field he was unfortunately terrible; possibly having his best season ever just having come from Swansea, expectations were very high, but malaria and maybe coming back down to earth from his exceptional season past crippled his performances for us. Feel sorry for him that it didn't at all work out.Wilfried Bony mark two...?
FFS some people are like a broken record eh? How hard is it to understand that mahrez is good enough to play for us and also strengthens the squad as a whole?
But he's gonna replace my fav. FFS
I actually think the contrary, I think Pep discourages long shots as the percentage of scoring is less, and the risk of giving the ball away greater, and that is why we don't shoot from further out.I remember watching a game last year where Merlin, uncharacteristically, had a shot from outside the box. Made me wonder Pep was encouraging this to broaden our goal scoring options,
I think this is an area where Mahrez could strengthen us.
The thought did occur to me as I was typing, let's hope not. Bony was much more of a blunt instrument rather than technically gifted like Mahrez.Wilfried Bony mark two...?

Exactly! A lot of times the bench can actually win games! The quality we will have will be unreal!
I think I agree with this - Pep is adaptable - tweaking things to see what works best. Maybe 5/6 years ago at Barca he'd hate long shots - fast forward to the PL in 2017/18 - Pep doesn't seem to be terribly upset with long shots especially if it forces defenders out of position to guard against long range attempts.I disagree. It's a tactic we use against parked bus sides. We'll regularly look to shoot from outside to lure them out 2-3 feet. Then when they do we'll opt to slip it to Sane or Sterling from a similar position as the opposition move to stop a shot from distance. It's a tactic, even if we don't think we'll score from the shot, we regularly at least get a corner from them.
Pep has already sated that Foden is going no where ... not even on loan.So if he joins and nobody leaves where does this leave Foden? He will be very lucky to even get on the bench?
