There was a report about a month ago that stated outside of '5 or 6' players, no one else was safe. Going from that, it made me think of the connection we have to the current crop of City players.

For me, outside of 5 or 6 players, the departure of any other player for a reasonable fee wouldn't invoke any real emotional response. Is it just me or ks there general apathy towards most of the current crop of players?
 
Spurs level players for £60million. thats our squad basically. The use of our resources has been incredibly poor and now certain players are gone its showing. We should be constantly be going for the best.

Sorry to say but dippers have spent 400m to construct their current squad, while we have more than billion euros. This is according to CIES, which further confirms our wastefulness in the market.

City constantly get ripped off for players.
 
No one gives a fuck other than Foden. We will see when the grounds reopen, big chance for the modern day players to win the fans back over. I'm falling out of love with certain aspects of the game, despite still wanting to get back at the first opportunity. Dread to think what the older fans feel like, who remember when players actually played for the shirt.

Absolutely, the only players I'd be gutted about losing as the current squad stands are Kev, Foden and Dias. Everyone else has a price for me and if a good offer came in we should consider selling. Sterling very high up on that list and if someone offers between 80-100m we should seriously consider it
 
I find it remarkable how backwards we have gone. This is down to very poor recruiting and failure to address key positions at the right time, the Managers insistence to play people on the wrong side of the pitch and the Managers reluctance to play Foden,still. Mad that not long ago we were crying about being kicked out of Europe and now we are doing our best not to be in it next season.

The fact we keep having them kinda tells you why we keep having them. Sometimes it’s as simple as what’s directly in front of you.

You're right. Tells me some on here are a bit of a soft touch. Hopefully the team's got more of a backbone moving forwards than what I see here.

How come every time we don't win there's 2-3 new threads talking about how everything's going wrong for the club and how doomed we are?

Maybe because everything is going wrong and we are doomed?

Seriously I don't think it's that bad but we are SO far behind where we were in 2017/18 and 18/19, it's just not funny. The 17/18 side would rip us to pieces.
 
I feel we've changed our set up to adapt to how the season is currently. The high octane, high energy press and attack we normally have won't last this season. The players will burn out by January if we kept that up, also I don't think we have the squad capable of playing that way just yet. Instead we've become a defensive side at the moment. But we are still in the title race despite the doom & gloom that's around every time we don't win a game.

Defensively we have fixed that, so the defence isn't a worry anymore, which is a credit to Dias, Stones etc.

It's the attack that's the concern. Jesus works his ass off, but he's not getting into dangerous positions. And when he does his touch fails him or he tries to much. Sterling doesn't look like himself or he isn't getting into the right positions, Mahrez is hit & miss, always will be, Bernardo and Foden aren't getting used enough I feel to get goals and the best out of them. Without one of those two next to Kev, to much is left to Kev to do. Torres looks a player but is young and needs time to develop.

I'm more interested in where we sit at the end of December then I'll judge properly. I'm not overly excited, nor am I to disappointed so far this season.

A 6/10 for me so far, but the defence being fixed was the biggest issue coming into the season, the goals will come if we keep keeping clean sheets and be solid at the back.
 
Toothless and some players showing no desire and a team going through the motions , if it wasnt for our rejuvenated defence we would be really struggling , we need someone or something to put the zest back into this squad of players
