Zinchenko has been playing leftback for us but that is not his natural position at all. I suspect he will get some time in the middle this season. He’s been incredible in CM for Ukraine.From your posts your one of those fans that likes to stand still, well im telling you now we will win nothing next season without signings.
You say looking at players and thinking they may get injured is beyond pessimistic, well that's what Pep will be thinking, I don't think buying Rodri and cover for Merlin is bad business.
I didn't mention Bernardo because I think hes more effective on the right, Zinchenko is a left back end of.
The club don't think like that I strongly suspect. This view about City blagging interest in players to drive up the price for other clubs, seems to have been invented by some to help them avoid the reality that we may have been rejected by a player or simply outbid by another club.I think the media make up numbers to get clicks or show off. I very much doubt anyone outside the City boardroom plus the player's agent and partner will know what wages we offer. The media will just guess, or add up everything including signing on fees, bonuses, etc then say it's his weekly wage to make it look really high. In reality it'll probably be nearer half that, and hopefully we'll negotiate a similar wage for Leroy.
Don't forget, the media are basically propaganda for rags and scousers, so if we sign Maguire they can say he only came for money because we have to pay him this £280k a week they themselves made up. Or if he gives up his career and signs for those cünts the media can then say we offered him more and he snubbed us.
Well things will start ramping up this week I guess. When are city back for pre season training?
2 weeks today I think.... quite a few are still playing football around the world.... FIFA seem hellbent on wrecking football with a 13 month calendar of games. A few players have got a few weeks off which is good.
Works for me.Ederson, Bravo, Riesgo
Walker, Cancelo
Stones, Laporte, Otamendi, Maguire
Zinchenko, Mendy, Angelino
Rodri, Fernandinho
De Bruyne, Foden, D. Silva, Gundogan (+ Zinchenko)
Sterling, Bernardo
Mahrez, Sané
Aguero, Jesus
Don’t think we will sell Muric, probably a loan.So if we sign Riesgo (Free), Maguire (£65m), Cancelo (£50m), Rodri (£65m), and Angelino (£6m), selling Muric (£5m), Delph (£10m) and Danilo (£25m) in the process, our squad will be... what?

I love the complete avoidance of mentioning the clip I highlighted, you not fancy talking about that? Why is that exactly? It is after all the video you used as a highlights reel.
If anyone is on the wum it’s you, I’ve given you two specific clips of the highlight reel you posted which shows very poor passing and you don’t want to talk about those, you want to try and swerve them and still say he’s the best thing since sliced bread.
