How come Madrid are selling him if he is that good?

We should be pulling Madrid’s pants down I reckon. We beat them home and away last season, proving our players were at least twice as good, so should offer them ffs Mahrez for Isco, Regulion + cash...

They're not selling, it's with a buy back so essentially another team develops him for a season or two and they move Marcelo on. They did something similar with Carvajal.

 

[skyblues]

Yeah. Heard that before, have we not?

Must be a special talent if Neymar's managed to win more than any player on our team just diving, rolling and screaming around. Pep should take notes, maybe those are the key ingredients.

He would be sent off of booked for diving every week if he played for us, he was indulged in Spain as that is their culture and he is indulged in France because he plays for the top team

Strange hill to die on and he has a thread

Lose cartilage you can suffer from joint inflammation that flares up after training games. Cartilage lubricates and cushions bone at joints. It provides a smooth surface between joints, and if you lose some of that it can increase wear and tear. In that sense its general.

Depends if it was replaced

Most goals we conceded last season came from the left hand side and we still havent signed a LB, dont want to hear Ake can play there etc. At our club right now there is no recognised LB apart from Mendy who has not been the Mendy of Monaco since the injuries. Cancelo yes been good there but hes a RB playing LB. We are going into the season hoping and praying right now that Mendy dosent get injured. Even though this Mendy is not the Monaco Mendy has a mistake in him.

Another reason we lost games last season, Midfield. We miss legs in the midfield energy, Rodri yes it was his first season so that can be excluded, but he was still slow , Gundogan slow not able to keep pace when the oppostions midfield counter. Foden hopefully will be played in midfield but i dont think Pep will play him there. KDB our best player does everything but he cant press and do all the midfield duties himself. Bernardo we are all hoping hes moved into the midfield but i think Pep just sees him as a RW or a false 9. We havent so far added any legs to midfield to help KDB.

I honestly think CB has been improved on with Ake. Ake was brilliant for bournemouth, him and Laporte together will be solid and will help us, and improve us alot in the backline. I might get destroyed for this but i think Midfield should be priority right now, the attack has been improved on Ferran torres looks like a bargain, Ake improves our defence. Gundogan, Rodri midfield seems to slow we need a new Fernandinho someone to cut passing lanes and bring energy to that midfield Allan wouldve been perfect from Napoli.

Overall i think the same problems will persist next season teams will target the left side since its our main weakness, also teams will gang up in midfield on Gundogan and Rodri as they are to slow meaning we are very vunerable to counter attacks. i really do hope we sign a LB and a mifielder by the end of this transfer window or Gundogan and Rodri can prove me wrong next season and be brilliant together.

Jesus, jump off the cliff right now

I agree, but quite a few of the players we have brought in, would be even further away from it, if they played against 'men'.

It was as if, 'small or small ish, not too quick, not physically strong, no tackling or heading neat & tidy on the ball but limited goal threat' was a prerequisite for half the signings.

I recon if the goal is to sell young players on, then it could have been done a lot better.

I also think that's utterly wrong, if that is the case. Players at City, should be for City, end of.

Which players are we talking about ? And how could we have got more ?

Quite a lot of the ones from Spain etc.

We've just brought another one in from Barca if I remember rightly. Poncy little thing who looks no better than what we have already.

We would get more money for academy kids we can't use if we only brought in ones who had something special about them & then we played more of them off the bench, to give them a chance & a higher profile.

Insisting on a buy back clause.

Despite being an ass, Duncan city related transfer info is pretty good
