Antoine Semenyo | Medical at City Thursday - Sky (p230)

[hilts]

We need more box to box player than Semenyo.

Both

 

[hilts]

And to think there were several on here who thought it’d be a better idea to have him fuck about half heartedly for Bournemouth against Arsenal and not even bother getting him here for our game v Chelsea.

There’s a good few who outed themselves as being as clueless as the mob in the summer who were shouting from the rooftops that we shouldn’t bother with Donnarumma because he’s “shit with his feet”.

I think the plan was he was single handedly gonna beat arsenal and bust a gut all game, we then beat Chelsea and the cunning plan has Arsenal shitting themselves.

Baldrick like :-)

But but how will he fit into our first 11?

Get it done for fucks sake, pretty please.

We need a right horrible bastard

[citytill1die84]

We'd just see red every week look at Donnarumma he only has to look at the ref he gets booked lol

 

[Alexia_Ko]

If we don’t have this deal wrapped up by Tuesday then we can only wait for the announcement that another player has gone down injured

 

[Fordyboy46]

Needs to arrive asap

 

[TurboDuo]

I reckon he'd have bagged at least one goal from the 15-odd gilt-edged chances that Foden, Cherki, Haaland and Bernardo (who, unbelievably in 2026, occasionally plays right wing slower than a snail) had tonight

 

[Xhavenjoe]

should have been here on the 2nd of January imo in tie to be registered for today game.

Bournemouth happy to delay this until his RC term expires and will charge buyers more next week.

How are Bournemouth delaying it?

 

[Tevez City]

I think tomorrow should be the day

 

[wolviedinho]

Need more than one player.

Buying now is expensive and not easy unless RC is an option.

Time we recalled a loaned CB. Otherwise why did we not buy experience instead of youth?

 

[Gordyola]

He is a replacement for Marmoush. Pep, for some non-footballing reason, dislikes Marmoush. He will be a rotation player.

How do you know that Pep dislikes Marmoush, or you just assuming that?

I don’t recall any gilt edge chances never mind 15

 

[simon23]

good player but doesnt solve the real issues.....

Defensive cover and central midfield physicality (rodri aside)

PLus we still need a left back despite NOR good performances.....he is not the long term solution there

[LesBleuMiserable]

How the fcuk did James stay on the pitch?

I suppose only Oliver can confirm

 

[TinFoilHat]

We need him for Wednesday ffs lol

Pep playing him as a central defender.

 

[Chak19]

They never came because the final pass was always horrendous.

I suppose Ait Nouri was bought for that but hasn't made the position his.
We have adequate cover in Ake and Gvardiol if needed but we definitely need a specialist left back as you suggest.

Time we move away from this”we have cover” papers over the cracks.

Need to buy better players and release 4/5 min who are not contributing.

I was constantly banging the drum we have enough cover depending on position but the facts are we badly need a RB and CB. The LB purchased over the summer needs to come good also.
