Porro and Trippier 2 mistakes we made but the manager was right, i doubt that even if Tottenham sell him, he would come to City, think the story is just goading.

5 CBs is a lot without a stones type who is constantly injured, could see them going with 4 and if they do it'll probably be by loaning out Reis again.
Ok sorry I misunderstood and thought you meant Reis being sold.

I wouldn't go anywhere near Porro.
OK thanks, I hope it is bullshit personally.

How’s Tripper a mistake when we had Zaba in his spot? Or are you inferring Trippier is better?Porro and Trippier 2 mistakes we made but the manager was right, i doubt that even if Tottenham sell him, he would come to City, think the story is just goading.

Nah your just misunderstanding both were fantastic players coming out of our youth, that went on to be top quality, but it is fair that the players that took their positions were superb, but i do believe both have a grudge.How’s Tripper a mistake when we had Zaba in his spot? Or are you inferring Trippier is better?
See Phillips thread for brain fart transfers, we have form in this regard sadlyWe either need to buy a promising younger player to be back up to Nunes, or if we’re splashing the cash then someone exceptional who is better than Nunes. Porro is neither of those things. £50m would be insanity if true.
Porro never came out if our youth.Nah your just misunderstanding both were fantastic players coming out of our youth, that went on to be top quality, but it is fair that the players that took their positions were superb, but i do believe both have a grudge.
Similar to Douglas Luiz, Enes Unal, Aaron Mooy etc.
Probably not good enough for us at the time. We can't play everyone we buy.
Could be a similar situation with Bah this summer.

I seem to remember Pep being asked if we had thought about activating his buy back clause just before we played spurs.Pedro should’ve been playing for City for years now.
Peps answer: "No".

Couldn’t agree more. We don’t need squad fillers, we need upgrades post pep. We won’t have the best in the business turning average players into class onesWe either need to buy a promising younger player to be back up to Nunes, or if we’re splashing the cash then someone exceptional who is better than Nunes.

Yes. He’s a decent prospect but far from ready to play or even deputise at our level. He’s just had a wretched season with multiple injuries (hamstrings) and would probably benefit from a full Eredivisie season in which he finishes 90 minutes on a regular basis. Dutch clubs have some talented youngsters but are asking ridiculous fees for unfinished products. Somebody might bite this summer but I doubt it will be us.The young Feyeenoord right back Givairo Read is a possible incoming according to various, probably unreliable sources. Anyone seen him play?
He looks like a natural replacement for Johnny, Johnny Stones, if such a human exists.If Maresca wants a FB to step into midfield then Reis might well be the guy
I’d agree with one, but not the other.A reasonable chance that neither of Rico or Reis are at the club next year tbf.
I said a few years ago that Bobb & Lewis would not be here in 2 seasons. If Lewis is here when next season starts, I’ll have got that half of the statement wrong!

No, thanks. He'd spend more time sat in the stand, serving numerous suspensions.

I'm assuming so. But I'm sure that someone will be on here to correct me, should it be needed. It's the BlueMoon way, after all. Even if he hasn't been, I still wouldn't take him. The club he's a pivotal member of has finished 17th in the last two seasons. Coincidence? I don't think so.Has he been suspended by the League since arriving in England?
*edit* Just checked his disciplinary record from last season;
10 yellow cards in 34 PL appearances last season. So; unless he was very fortunate re the timings of the cards in relation to any amnesty that may/may not have been in place, he must have served at least one suspension. That's a fairly high ratio. 1 yellow card in every 3.4 games.

Has literally only ever been suspended for one game in his entire career, in 2022.No, thanks. He'd spend more time sat in the stand, serving numerous suspensions.
