When I think of the new players City will have in the summer, I can’t help but come back to Paqueta time and time again as the one I feel is certain to arrive.
The others linked with, I feel there is still much negotiating to do.
Surprised to see him in our transfer thread!
He isn’t better than Haaland or Alvarez and if we were looking to replace either he wouldn’t be in the minds of Txiki or Pep.
Think Pep will try 3 at the back and go with a double pivot. 3-4-3 or 3-5-2 Plenty of room for Midfielders, and Pep likes a midfielder. Plus at least one will leave, maybe 2.
Your are probably correct, glad you said that, swap out Dias for Bernardo. No team is getting the ball off that midfield! Haaland and Aguero would each get hat tricks being fed the ball from that midfield.
I am making room for both and a few other half decent midfielders we have
/had In last 8 years In this team. With only 2 CB’s reckon we would still win against any team with this lineup.
GK - Hart
CB - Kompany
CB - Dias
M - Fernandinho
M - Rodri
M - Y Toure
M - D Silva
M - KDB
M - Foden
CF -...
Go again with the next experiment? So who might that be?
Since Alvarez is only worth £35/40m in your opinion who is this Worldie (our level) striker you think we should buy to play 2nd fiddle to Haaland?
Any chances he gets to play from now until season end he needs to deliver whether that be goals, assists, performance or defensively really good because City will buy at least another midfielder in summer.
Good game from Jezza and I know he likes to shimmy when he tries to beat the full back, but please don’t shimmy when defending when a simple pass back will do fine. Had me worried a couple of times defensively. Going forward very encouraging.
