Can't wait for Camavinga to be announced! Any moment now right Ezzy? Ha.

In all seriousness he looks an amazing player. Would love him at City.

 

[Bobby Heaton Moor]

I'm gonna start wanking until we announce Koulibaly

 

[Cityisland]

Showing your age there mate.

Went to uni in sheffield (01¹-04) and people thought i was mental going shopping on a wednesday after class .

Im Manc, but lived down south as a kid. Id never heard of this, and hadnt again before today. WTF was that? And Why? Is it a thing? Wednesdays are better than Sundays in retail?

Thought it was a wind up to fuck with students....

Has Ezzy been banned for all the fantasy wumming?

Yep Camavinga looks really good. Quick, skillful, good passing and eye for goal.

Which means as he's a midfielder we won't be getting him!

It's the mugs who get taken in by these clowns that amuses me.

Have a feeling there's another itk false prophet who has conned the mugs as well.

Sevilla can choose to accept less than the buyout figure, depends how desperate they are for the cash right now?

The market is correcting all the time and boards are having to take a more pragmatic approach unless you are run by a dick at Napoli.

Read a few reports last month saying they'd accept €60m and are already prepared to lose the defender. Nothing aside, but at the time we weren't quite sure Koulibaly was as high a priority as it seems now.

 

[The Fat el Hombre]

Really has gone very quiet hasn't it

 

[Keeper!]

He has done both and is a professional footballer
I played semi pro and let me tell you there are levels upon levels upon levels and this guy is up there
He may be struggling with confidence but you do not and cannot become a premier league player and winner and international without a winning and battling mentality
There are circa 60 million people in th is country ( some women some childen some other nationalities) god knows how many play football but this guy is in the top 25 ?
I guarantee he is mentally tougher and stronger than you and I

I agree with what you say in term of the mentality to become a top player, but the issue with Stones is his career has gone in a downward spiral for the last 2 years at least. Staying in that top level is a battle in itself and he is losing his.
Just physically he looks far from right,has had numerous off field issues and is picking up constant injuries, is this because of lack of condition or does he have a problem which makes him prone to injury?
Whatever the reason we cannot carry passengers , the club and manger have shown great patience with the player, but I get the feeling that is becoming exhausted.
I don't doubt he is a very talented individual, he was an exciting signing but has failed to live up to his billing.
And to me as a CB, his biggest weakness is lack of aggression, far too easily bullied , goes missing on the pitch in difficult times.

Will Zinchenko still be around? Anyone ITK?

NO. No i am not ITK but he will not leave our club. Last year he was almost in a state of leaving but did not leave. There is no need for him to leave now.

 

[himalayan_blues]

No worse than what we currently have!

Ake can be our Milner.

I wonder if we’d consider moving Rodri to CB and signing that energetic midfielder you speak of? I think he played there season before last at Crystal Palace and did a decent job - good footballer, big enough, just a bit slow on the turn.

I doubt Pep would consider it and to be fair, when you start talking about positional changes for a player it’s an admission of failure. But I would say the solution at CB could be in plain sight, as is our need for that midfielder.

Vincent Kompany says hello

 

[Hart of the Matter]

I wish the flippity flappitys would Klippity Kloppity off...

 

[citytill1die84]

Our problem definitely seems to be trying to get rid of dead weight.

 

[rickmcfc]

Tick Tock. With each passing day and no action, I’m feeling the worst for the season ahead!

Going from the excitement of Messi into this is a bit like 2019 into 2020.

i think thats the main problem to be honest lol. a week ago all hell had broke loose and we were signing the greatest player ever and all the talk of koulibaly as well? now.......dead!

 

[Rammy Blue]

I expect everything to start heating up a bit now that everyone has finished with these insane international friendlies.

As has been mentioned a few times, people need to remember that we need to shift some players to make room for incomings, and there hasn’t been many stories knocking around of much solid interest in people like Zinchenko, Otamendi, Stones etc.

 

[Kokonut1307]

He did this in a couple months. That’s not a natural transformation

He is most likely natural, but then again the wonder of testosterone analogues is that you can do a short cycle in the offseason and never be caught with it.
