Gabri Veiga

Would Mount not be a safer signing over Veiga? Maybe Pep makes him into the player he was a couple of seasons ago again?

Sadly no, mate. Overrated, wants 200k and costs 60+ mil. City gotta be smart here and look towards players that can usher in the new era after Pep goes. I dont know if Veiga is it or if he goes to Chelsea, but Mount aint it.

More value for money to go for someone like Otavio or Ramsey (villa)
 
This lad looks like a more attacking version of Rice ...looks a powerful runner with the ball (maybe not rapid but just powerful)
 
Personally the guy looks underwhelming and I wouldnt want him but if pep and city do then fair enough. I think we should continue or search for a midfielder in the same vein of profile we've been looking for so far from bellingham and rice, powerful box to box runners.

What an inane comment.

Yes Pep and the club know more than us so let's shut down the forum as there is no point in discussing anything.

Expressing opinions is what it's all about but shitting on guys the club rates is so fucking presumptive. And that happens on here endlessly. Someone gets mentioned that the club may like and it's followed by a bunch of forum "experts" slamming the guy, killing him, calling him shit, not for us, not good enough and usually from guys who I would bet my house on have never spent any real time watching the player. I'm not saying Pep is infallible as I've had my say at times, but when it comes to recognizing talent I trust him 1000%. Especially because he's the one who will be working with the talent. If he wants someone my hope as a supporter is he gets who he wants as one can't argue with the results.

As far as dodging bullets, one can't judge the Maguires and Cucurellas of the world as we'll never know how they may have turned out under Pep...

I think expressing their disagreement for player in question is fine but i agree more often than not it's just one liner post of why they disagree and providing not enough reason of why they didn't like that said player will be bought by our club.

Sure I read yesterday that Camavinga's extended his contract to 2027 with a €1bn release clause...

With Chewy, Bellingham & Valverde, Real will have some fucking pace & power in their midfield once Modric & Kroos leave/retire.

Add in Rodrygo, Vini & possibly Mbappé, the Nutty Nazi Tebas is likely to have a coronary seeing so many players of colour starring for Spain's jewel in the crown football club... Lol :-)

That squad is perfect for Champions League. For the league, though, they are lacking goals. Another encounter next season is surely on the cards. Rodri, with Veiga, Kovacic, Stones, or someone else next to him, will be something to see.

All down to them not losing ancelotti imho, you can have some of the best players in the world, but if the coach cannot use them right you may as well have the most average palyers

They have Modric, Kroos, Valverde, Tchuameni, Camavinga, Bellingham and Ceballos...where would they put this kid...

Fair point. At the time of my comment I think he was strongly linked with them. NB I know that press links may have no factual basis

Ancelotti's always been a mystery to me. He's one of the most successful & dour faced coaches in football history, but can anyone say what Carlo's footballing style/philosophy is?

Pep - Possession, playing out from the back, 5 second regain possession rule, inverted full backs etc

Govan Piss Can - Hoofball.

Wenger - Pace, skill, power, artistry.

What's Ancelotti's? Does he just adapt his tactics to the tools he's got available?
