Watching our midfield collectively atrophy is an indictment of the club leadership. The last few days of this window better be good but we shouldn't be witnessing fiascos like last night time after time. Dreadful management.

Oh dear. I think the club, manager & players know the problem but now - more than ever - need our support. HUGE support.
It’s easy when we’re breaking records but more important in times like this. Criticism is very easy. Solutions very difficult

Might not be football related, but a biz jet has landed in Manchester in last hour or so, and there are a few press photographers lurking near it, it's come in from Milan.

I'm currently watching a stream on YouTube

Walker going to Milan?

I guess the biggest consolation from last night is that Pep and the club can still see we’re getting hammered by anybody that can outrun us.

There’s still time to address that and it might make it more likely we buy even more in the next week or so.

Would have been extremely worrying if they were under any illusion that this wasn't the case before last nights game since its been proven over and over and over and over and over and over and over again for months.

Money solves everything.

Time for a monumental fuck off to the red cartel and sniping media whores. We can either buy better players and get out of this rut, or fuck around worrying what dickheads like Masters and Tebas say and end up mid-table.

So we should get players we don't want for next season now? That would be very silly

No we should get players we do want, and we should have identified them given our needs and that list should've been ready, and reguarly updated, seasons ago

All good saying wait for summer but we're in our 3rd summer now of having this same question.... so clearly it's not a priority for some reason

Now that's silly

Yet the team that is currently being built is no longer a carbon copy of the one he played in nor even of the one he managed to a treble. The game is becoming increasingly open and stretched and that, in turn, is calling for greater physicality and mobility in the middle.

That doesn't change my point. You want Txiki to go and buy Baleba over the top of Pep and just go well I've bought you this big lad for midfield who can run so get him involved?

Which bit of the players we want aren’t for sale in January ate you not understanding ?
 
In order to think who we need to buy, we need to think who will from the current squad will be in the starting line up in August. I'm going to avoid putting square pegs in round holes, unlike the manager;)

GK
RB Khusanov Dias LB
Rodri CM
Foden
Savinho Haaland Marmoush

Plus Bobb, Doku, Kovacic, Nuñes Reis Gvardiol Ortega O'Reilly Lewis Grealish Akanji

In the case of Lewis and Nuñes we need to find positions for them that are not the back 4. In Jack's case, he's still young enough. It's a case of whether he's motivated enough to be a squad player

Even before typing like many know, we need fullbacks and a world class CM. We dominated football the last decade because the 3 guys in the middle were a combination of the following

Yaya, David, Dinho, Rodri, KdB, Bernardo, Rodri.

We still have Rodri and now is Foden's moment. We don't need a Luiz in there, we need someone of the standard of the past heroes.

Players who should be allowed to leave gracefully and with our immense gratitude.
Stones, Ake, Gundo, Kevin, Eddie, Bernardo

Bernie is a conundrum. Not as old or injury prone as the others but he has run himself into the ground for the cause. If he wants to stay and can get back his zip then we'd be stupid to let him go.
 
In the summer:
Nunes - Out
Kovacic - Out
Phillips - Out
Grealish - Out
Gundo- Out
Bernardo - Could leave
Ederson - Could leave

I've loved the last 3, they'll always have a spot in our history but we need to get the age of the squad down and freshen things up.

The next 8 days:
Walker - Out
Buy or loan a midfielder, give us a chance in the CL and FA Cup.

KDB and Gundo are absolute nailed on goners in the summer too.

Agree, unsure on Grealish, partly because take out Carson Walker, maybe Stones or Ake and we are low on homegrown so would need to replace Grealish with a homegrown player. Not sure of anyone for that.
