Zuculini has been hanging around the first team like a bad smell for months. I reckon he'll replace Nasri in the PL squad next week. Can he play LB, CB, CF I wonder?
Not going to happen, Nasri is back in training now after his operation - he'll be a needed while DeBruyne is out.
Can they afford him though?He's going on loan to AEK Athens, Poyet wanted him when he was in charge of Sunderland.
Kelechi's is eligible for the PL because he's under 21, he could get a CL berth if Nasri is not coming back this season. That would also be an opportunity for Zucu to be added to the PL squad as he is over 21 and foreign trained.City have to find a place for Kelechi and that can only happen with one of our present squad losing a slot in the roster. Probably Nasri, but if the medics aren't too sure about KDB, it could be him instead.
I misread your opening post and instead concentrated on the CL squad. Not that it makes much difference. Zuc will be shipped out asap.Kelechi's is eligible for the PL because he's under 21, he could get a CL berth if Nasri is not coming back this season.

That doesn't make sense unless you meant to write CL instead of PL?Kelechi's is eligible for the PL because he's under 21, he could get a CL berth if Nasri is not coming back this season. That would also be an opportunity for Zucu to be added to the PL squad as he is over 21 and foreign trained.
When did Samir return to training?Not going to happen, Nasri is back in training now after his operation - he'll be a needed while DeBruyne is out.
I'm puzzled that you think that Colin. Nasri's omission would vacate a free list CL spot that Kelechi could occupy. Zuculini could occupy the foreign trained spot in the PL vacated by Nasri. Have you not had your morning booster yet?That doesn't make sense unless you meant to write CL instead of PL?
If CL then Kelechi (probably) doesn't qualify because he's not been here for the necessary 2 years. You'd have thought someone would have mentioned it if he was elegible, from City since they're talking in the media about him taking either Nasri's place or Bony's.
I can see why Nasri might be left out of the CL squad, as we might be out before he returns to action, but the PL doesn't finish until May, and he should be back well before then, so I see no reason for him to be left out of the PL squad.I'm puzzled that you think that Colin.

because, according to him, he won't be match fit until late April at the earliest?I can see why Nasri might be left out of the CL squad, as we might be out before he returns to action, but the PL doesn't finish until May, and he should be back well before then, so I see no reason for him to be left out of the PL squad.
Well as I haven't seen that I can't comment, last I saw was that he should be back end of March.because, according to him, he won't be match fit until late April at the earliest?
that's fine, if you haven't been informed, it might as well not have happened.Well as I haven't seen that I can't comment, last I saw was that he should be back end of March.
Did I say that anywhere ? Nope I just based my comment about Nasri on what I last heard, so I'll leave the thread to the expert.that's fine, if you haven't been informed, it might as well not have happened.
We'll see soon enough, even experts can be wrong.Did I say that anywhere ? Nope I just based my comment about Nasri on what I last heard, so I'll leave the thread to the expert.
(Chances of Zuculini being in our PL squad are as close to zero as you can probably get though.)
Are you okay George? You seem a bit... touchy?that's fine, if you haven't been informed, it might as well not have happened.
