People who think city can just run it back with one transfer in are completely delusional. Agree there’s not a need to panic in June but to think one player coming in is enough is crazy.

To play Devil's advocate if we lined up today like this:
Ederson
Akanji/Walker Dias Ake
Stones Rodri
Bernardo KDB
Foden Haaland Grealish
who the fuck can put out a better eleven? Who would you back to beat us?
Mahrez, Alvarez, Kovacic, Phillips, Walker/Akanji, Ortega, Lewis, and Laporte (for now) in reserve. Never mind they are managed by the best manager in the game, maybe ever.

I'm all for strengthening the squad but it's not easy when you're already the best by some distance. Add Gvardiol to this squad and it's even more imposing.
I can't believe how little respect this crew is receiving. This a LEGENDARY squad that's done legendary things and all the flappers are out in full force predicting doom and gloom because, with all due respect to him, Gundo left.

Some on here really need to get a grip. Stop taking what we have for granted. There are 97 other squads in the "top 5" leagues of Europe who would kill for what we have.

And just so no one comes away from what I'm saying with a who are you to lecture anyone I'm willing to bet anyone any amount they want that we will win the league again. Just DM me and we can work out the logistics. How's that? Fair enough?
 
It’s like there are no players and we stock pile. Using smallest squad in Europe for last 5 years. I can’t believe what I am reading this today.

some of the usual flappers on here should have a little read of this :

"If you look at what we did in the last years, at the start of this project when we were here there was a need for a lot of changes and investment. Not anymore," he said.

"If you look at what we have done in the last five years, our level of investment in new players is well thought. We are not the top net spenders of the last year or the last three or five years because we have a platform where we know what to do and we can do it with time and intelligence

we are run by people who are considered the best people in their position in world football , our future is in very capable hands , add imo the greatest coach football has ever seen then patience is needed, and no amount of flapping and throwing the dummy out of the pram on here will change my thoughts.

some of the posts on here are nothing short of desperate,and without naming names we see the same people flapping or desperate for information, its quite sad to see.

Yea that’s all great but do you have any info on potential deals? -:)

Dunno why we wouldn't think about an escape route from 4 CB as a requirement. 4 CB has been amazing but I find it quite likely it worked in part because it wrong footed opponents - we did it in the middle of the season.
Looking back at the meta of tactics, I find it moderately likely that we get to November and are starting to see opponents figure out the counter punch.

I like the formation, much easier to play a 3241 with CBs also being used as DMs than to have 2 world class fullbacks, 2 backups and also hoping the fullbacks don’t take up the positions of the wingers when attacking.

I’d love an Alphonso Davies to be a younger version of Walker, but it’d be a big overhaul to back to 433.

Can still lineup with a flat 4, inverted RB or LB (once Gvardiol is up to speed) or Stones in from CB->DM at that point.

lots of options to make a 3-2 or 2-3 buildup.
 
Can you imagine a transfer window where we only have £25 million outgoing? If we don't lose any other players, it might happen. But I doubt it. We will have some transfers in.

I think it's so slow due to everyone still being on holiday due to the ridiculously late end to the season due to the wanky internationals. Expect it to get going in a few weeks

Also a lot of bonuses that have to be paid if people are on the roster today.

Like Sterling held up his exit to get an end of the season bonus from City before departing last year.

Ignore the doom and gloom merchants, we could sign mbappe, gvardiol, Kovacic and Pele and they'd still moan. When has this club with the current structure in place ever let us down? They don't and that's why we are the best.

Is it too early for a tattoo?

I don't know if this source is reliable, but are we pissing around with the fee AGAIN...
We have been aware of his valuation for months now. It is around 85m quid in a market where Rice just went for 105m. I hope we don't drop the ball here...

We probably walk again.

Good thing back then Haaland have release clause because you can bet that Txixi will never buy him if Haaland have no release clause causing bidding war and we will missing generational talent.
