I find if someone asks, "who do you support?" And my reply is "Citeh" they'll nine times out of ten follow that with, "which one? Leicester? Birmingham?" And you know then straight away it's someone you don't want to have a conversation about football with.

Yeah it’s pretty obvious if you just say City or United it means Manchester. It’s only a problem if the local club is called City or United then I get it obviously.
 
If flirting with the idea of moving on has made Guehi accept it’s fair to say he wants to be at City more than others.

It may be true but also probably just taken a while to sort the money out as we know with transfers.

We could also be looking at other because well we always scout the market and we know that Stones/Ake are off although we should be fine.

Let’s hope this gets done.

Elliot Anderson and then maybe someone capable of playing on both flanks at full-back would complete this squad. Wonder if we will go back to Cambiaso

Someone like that makes sense. Livramento seemed to be the target after Cambiaso if all true and again comfortable on both sides.

If we get Guehi done helps with the homegrown element so much more to choose from.
 
Another great signing and a great character added. Along with doku and seymanyo along side rico Lewis recent post it’s clear there is a real religious element at the club right now.

I know some don’t agree with religion or aren’t believers or whatever but personally these are the type of people I want representing the club.

Yeah, I get what you’re saying, but remember how skinny John Stones was when he first came in. He didn’t look built for the league at all at that point. Over time he filled out, got stronger, and learned how to handle himself physically.

That’s pretty normal for young players. As they get older, their bodies mature, they add muscle, and they just become more street wise in duels and contact. You don’t usually see the finished article at 20.

I get the concern about the physical step up, but Vitor Reis isn’t coming from a soft environment. The Brazilian top flight is a very physical league, matches played on tough pitches against aggressive and relentless strikers like Gabriel Jesus and Igor Jesus who don't stop hassling you all game. It’s proper battle hardened football.

Reis broke into a title contending Palmeiras side at just 18 and became a regular - which doesn’t happen unless you can handle yourself physically. He’s already shown strong physicality, aerial ability and strength in duels despite still developing - as per his statistics. He’s very tall at 6'2, wins plenty in the air, and doesn’t seem to shy away from contact. I know it was only Plymouth in the cup, but we saw him up against a tall, strong and powerful striker and he was more than capable physically.

So while there will always be an adjustment to Europe, he’s far from fragile even at his age.

True about Stones back in the days, and all very valid points about Reis. He's probably a gem for the future – let's hope so. Cheers
