Wonder if he’s enough to cover both Fernandinho and Gundogan when he inevitably leaves? I think we’re short of a left-back and then need to replace B.Silva, and keep the attack fresh as Jesus, Sterling and Mahrez leave in the coming year or so. We certainly aren’t far away from having a pretty completely picture.

Long term it could be Fernandinho, gundo, Bernardo out. Phillips, Bellingham in. Between them 2 I think they can cover the gaps lift in DM and CM

It seems to take a holding MF a year to acclimate under Pep so this is a great signing, after 2022-23 City will have two fully-fit assassins running things.

Peps an expert at getting everyone including the media on board with the narrative that players need a bedding in season, the guys a genius, not only does it give said players acclimatisation time, they seem to walk out the following season 10 feet tall

That picture is mint, I haven't laughed so hard in ages....

The one with the umbrella and no shoes is classic, but the one in the balaclava takes the most giggles.
 
Decent signing. Bielsa is like doing your A levels before you do your degree with Pep. Think he'll slot in fairly quickly.

Does everyone think we are moving to a 4-2-3-1 then? Or is Ferna replacement in the number 6?
 
Well, thing is...Pep et al clearly rate him so the fact that I'm quite unexcited by this signing is completely irrelevant. On the subject of irrelevancy, I can't say I've ever watched a Leeds game in which he's played and thought..."wish he played for City".
Then again, I think Sterling can be a bit inconsistent whereas a lot think he's better than Messi & Ronaldo combined.
Anyway, welcome to our great club....we are all right behind you.

If Cucurella signs and Sterling stays then this will be the most complete squad we've ever had

Ederson, Ortega

Walker Cancelo

Stones, Dias, Laporte, Ake

Cucurella, Zinchenko

Rodri, Phillips

De Bruyne , Gundogan

Silva ,Grealish

Foden, Sterling

Mahrez , Palmer

Haaland, Alvarez

Talk about 2 class players for each position - it seems we've finally reached the holy grail!
