The new front 5 we have has to be the best in the league and matching Barca etc

Aguero - World Class undoubtedly
Silva - World Class "
Toure - World Class if he cares
Sterling - Potential to be World Class
De Bruyne - Very close to World Class

Who else can boast 5 of the best or upcoming best players in the world?

You're completely right.
What's even better is that we can turn up to the best teams in the CL and play Delph/Fernandinho and Fernando with four of Silva/Sterling/Aguero/Yaya/Bony/De Bruyne/Navas/Nasri and the others on the bench. We've had a few injuries in the past that has led us to have to put out a much weakened team. This will cause the opposition a lot of headaches. As good as Messi/Neymar/Suarez/Iniesta are if one of them is injured the replacements aren't on the same level. Only Bayern and Real have more strength in depth. Fully fit, those attacking options are the best in England and undoubtedly one of the best in Europe.

We've got the balance to do a Juventus style counter punch CL exercise where we play Fernandinho, Delph and Fernando and then have pace on the counter. Or we can play Silva in the no.10 role with Yaya deeper. If Pellegrini gets the squad to gel and we have real fluid movement between the players we'll be unplayable at times.

Do you know why I want this to happen ... so that all those whinging twats who have been giving Txiki so much grief, can apologise,if they have the balls.Never mind what happens to Pogba,as that one was always going to be difficult and it may not be over anyway.
I have plenty of dishes here that I can fill with Humble Pie for those guilty of rubbishing Txiki.
What a summer this has/will have been.

Personally I want it happen because KDB is a cracking player and I want to see him, Sterling, Silva et al buzzing around like a swarm of especially peed off hornets.

I'm sure Txiki's ego is big enough to cope with a bit of grief on a football forum. That said if you're his mum then feel free to dump on anyone who had a pop at the Txiki God when he unveils KDB :)

I think ours just shades it over Bayern's for 3rd place.

Aguero is leagues ahead of Lewandowski.

Robben has had an unbelievable career, but he's 31 now and getting injury prone. De Bruyne played in the same league as him last year and got 367 votes for player of the year and Robben was second with 94. De Bruyne was playing in a much worse team and has just turned 24.

Ribery is a great player, but doesn't seem to be having the same influence he did a few years ago, he's 32 now. Sterling is the best 20 year old in Europe, his pace, trickery and directness are exactly what City have been missing. Ribery might have the edge just now, but if I could only have one at City it would be Sterling every time.

Muller and Silva are both exceptional, genius footballers. Muller's movement and poise in the big occasion make him a truly world class player. Silva is the best player I've ever seen play for City, makes us tick and plays passes only he, Messi and Iniesta are capable of seeing. Close call, but I'd choose Silva.

Maybe the 'guy' is having you on - since his hit rate is proving terrible. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt that you're not the WUM, but you are being WUM'd and passing it on in good faith - as fair as can be!

His hit rate is just fine.

Unal loan - check
Sterling - signing the week after the 'itk's' posted he was signing in a matter of a couple of days - check
Delph - see above.

There's no misinformation there. As for De Bruyne and even Pogba, Ric also posted a day or two after me that both these deals were either off or had hit the buffers.

Fair enough that you feel the need to pick the info apart, but at least wait until its wrong before you do.
 
Imagine trying to defend against the movement of De Bruyne, Sterling, Silva and Aguero. And if you somehow manage to cope with those 4 there is the small matter of trying to stop a rejuvinated Yaya Touré making a lung busting run at your defence. If we play anything like the football we played in Pellegrini's first year then I think it will be goals galore.

Tbf the only one who said it was off is you, also the only one suggesting Pogba is off, funnily enough is you! The fact you are gives me a boost that Pogba is indeed happening.
As for Pellegrini signing an extension & your "info" Pep has never been contacted... Again says to me Pep is indeed coming. I've learnt to think the exact opposite of what you're saying & that's usually the outcome.
But as for "haven't spoken to him yet" several media sources suggesting Pep has actually signed a contract to join us next season, not a pre contract but a full contract & it's been in place for 3 weeks. The idea (allegedly) is to take the heat off this seasons squad & to give Pellers a nice payday.
But we'll just go with your versions as it makes you feel a bit special

Several media sources have also reported that the Pogba is off until January or next season. What's your point?

I'm only passing the info on anyway. Rather than getting all emotional about it, why don't you wait til the end of the window, read back to my original post and see how much of it has panned out. Can't say no fairer than that.

Barca - Messi, Suarez, Neymar and Iniesta - The best by quite a distance.
Bayern - Lewandowski, Robben, Ribery, Muller.
Real - Ronaldo, Bale, Benzema, James.
Us - Aguero, Merlin, KDB, Sterling.

I think ours is 4th out of that list - but, look at the ages. Aguero 27, KDB 24, Silva 29, Sterling 20.

It's the youngest. Keep them together for 3 seasons and I think it could be as good as any. Sterling has all the potential in the world, De Bruyne can easily be as good as Robben or Ribery, and Aguero is already the best striker of the 4.
