As cover for a few games. He doesn’t leave a hole nobody can fill.But why move Phil out of the position where he affects the game more than anyone else?
He’s utterly knackered. He’s not had a break in 2 years. He’ll likely struggle unless he’s rested for a bit.He got subbed at halftime today. He started the first 5-10 minutes brilliantly but faded.
When bought at that price, big expectations come, and it's been a bumpy arrival thus far. It's still very early.
Pure folly if we start our title defence with no Haaland back up. The squad is great but we need another striker and a quality CDM too of course - it's a headscratcher that nobody is coming in the. Big mistake.
I'm not setting up jack shit. Just expressing an opinion...You are just setting yourself up to come back in and say "I told you so".
The club have an army of scouts, analysts, coaches and Pep himself. If they haven't identified someone to go for then that is what we will do.
completely agree. £82m was astonishing business. He's a good player, but nothing stands out in terms of his attributes.Alvarez is overrated. Decent striker without top quality in:
dribbling, pace or finishing.
I am glad we sold him for that price.
There's a reason Chiesa cost peanuts...The club has to find a back-up striker or forward in January. Liverpool has signed Chiesa for peanuts and no problem. I guess Nunes is blocking room for another player.
Can only be that we are happy to go false 9 with all the midfield options we’ve got. Seems a strange strategy though, has to be said.Obviously Pep and Txiki know best, but it certainly feels like a risk going into the season with only one centre-forward. Be interesting to see what the contingency plan is when Haaland is rested or isn't available.
Exactly, and it's pretty obvious that Erling won't be playing every game this season, so who will play the false nine, might be Gundo?Obviously Pep and Txiki know best, but it certainly feels like a risk going into the season with only one centre-forward. Be interesting to see what the contingency plan is when Haaland is rested or isn't available.
If City would have offers for Nunes, then striker would have come. There is no offers, so we have to wait at least till January. For me, it’s a little bit complacent.I've got a feeling it'll be Foden mainly as the false 9. He's probably the best finisher at the club after Haaland, and will be a real threat in a free role up front.
Don’t see why it has any relevance to Nunes? We have space in the squad.If City would have offers for Nunes, then striker would have come. There is no offers, so we have to wait at least till January. For me, it’s a little bit complacent.
