Keep believing, Messi would be 34 before he could sign for us, incredible player but 34.Omar Berrada created Barcelona the marketing machine. There is literally no one in football better qualified to decide if Messi could bring in millions, and the fact is we've heard from very reputatble reports that every single Manchester City sponsor is already committed to increasing their sponsorship to include using Messi's image. We already know that Ronaldo increased Juventus' commercial revenue by 33%.
These are things we know. "Oh but I fink Messi is just a Barca icon he wont bring in any money for us" are just completely unqualified ramblings.
Are the speeding up on any other front or is it just left back this year?Could be wrong here, but just passing on a rumour I heard that the club were really not happy with last night. Big time. Sped up a potential hunt for a LB that they were considering putting off until next summer. Obviously take it with a pinch of salt, but at least we don't have to wait long to see if anything comes from that.
"considering putting off until next summer" says everything how negligent we are with LB position. Does Txik have something against left backs?Could be wrong here, but just passing on a rumour I heard that the club were really not happy with last night. Big time.

Now more than ever if we keep playing high line . No he is no where near david’s level but different type of players. Apple orange .
Good news and hopefully the lack of fire power and injuries will make the club prioritise an early Kun replacement.Could be wrong here, but just passing on a rumour I heard that the club were really not happy with last night.

Different skill set . No comparison at all .Well how come he was portrayed at being better then ??? Not too different at all apart from Kante will put his foot in for a tackle I guess,certainly not Apple Orange

It just confirms that our transfer policy is reactive rather than proactive. Which is disaster IMO. Reactive means you are always one step behind.I'm happy and angry at the same time reading that.
Happy they realise there is a problem and angry because it has a took a 5-2 defeat for them to realise we need a LB.
Seriously, this is the first time I’ve ever heard a suggestion of David Silva and N’Golo Kanye being compared.Well how come he was portrayed at being better then ??? Not too different at all apart from Kante will put his foot in for a tackle I guess,certainly not Apple Orange
This can only be positive, there are some decent options available on market, hope they can sort something out before end of week.Could be wrong here, but just passing on a rumour I heard that the club were really not happy with last night.

It should not take 5-2 home defeat to do something about it.
Seems to tally with Tolmies not so cryptic post which alluded to Ajax and Tagliafico.Could be wrong here, but just passing on a rumour I heard that the club were really not happy with last night.

If we have seriously "sped up" looking for a LB on the strength of yesterday, then it'll be a panic buy, and could cause as much damage than it's intended to mend.Could be wrong here, but just passing on a rumour I heard that the club were really not happy with last night.

Some good news/bad news here. Good news is that last night has opened the clubs eyes to the fact that we need a left back, but bad news because it took last night for them to realise this. 90% of City fans could have told them that. The lack of a quality centre forward last night also indicates we may come unstuck with a injured/receding Aguero and only one proven back up plan. Reminds me of the centre back situation last summer.Could be wrong here, but just passing on a rumour I heard that the club were really not happy with last night. Big time.

Tagliatelle doesn’t seem real. Is he an impasta?They will probably have wanted a look to see if Mendy had turned a corner. Turns out he hasn’t. Off we go to the list and see if they can move Zinchenko along and get Alaba or Tagliatelle
Not sure you can do any more damage to be fairIf we have seriously "sped up" looking for a LB on the strength of yesterday, then it'll be a panic buy, and could cause as much damage than it's intended to mend.
Well in fairness, any panic buy is going to be upgrade. So can't go wrong really. Surely we can't sign anyone worse?If we have seriously "sped up" looking for a LB on the strength of yesterday, then it'll be a panic buy, and could cause as much damage than it's intended to mend.
