That's a change of strategy, they usually sign players that can't move.

That is incorrect, read about him on City website. He has played all across the front three and occasionally as an attacking midfielder, for River this season he has featured as a central striker predominantly.

Some poster suggested Pirlo would be as good a keeper as Ederson, because he doesn't make saves either. Surely Lewandowski would be a better bet than Pirlo in goal, younger and he could take penalties.

I think our sophisticated medical team will not allow any dip in his physical or medical condition during the season, if it dips, Pep drops.

If you don't try you won't succeed. I know there has to be a balance but does any stats expert know how many goals are scored from deflected shots and how many handball penalties are awarded from shots at goal.

It needs to be said whether heeded or not. one Football 7/5/2022. ("The tickets are really expensive and I cannot be more appreciative or more thankful of what the people are doing," Klopp added. "I hope they all can make it somehow and can create - of course they will - an incredible...

You need to research Alvarez some more. Granted he will be a new player in a new league but he is dynamic and is capable of playing in all 3 forward positions as well as dropping deep and has some experience as an attacking midfielder. How fast is he compared with Usain Bolt ? I don't know. His...

Apart from Garcia, which Barca lads do you mean. Are Pep, Txiki, Sorriano going back to Barca ?. Why not treat each player as an individual and not these, one size fits all, baseless assumptions.

But Cancelo was signed to compete with Walker at right back and he will continue to do so because Walker has not played more than 42 games since 2018/19 and Cancelo has not played more than 43 games in any season before 21/22, so there will be heavy rotation. The only experienced left back we...

Insane numbers to maintain a consistently high standard. If Walker is fit for most of the season I expect he will play maybe 30-40 games and Cancelo will play something similar but no where near as many at left back. Bottom line we have 3 full backs we need 4 plus emergency cover by Stones & Ake...

Fair enough you are entitled to your opinion but you are not addressing your post "he isn’t a left back. Let’s get real here" . You may want a different left back, fair enough, nevertheless the real fact is, he has and is a Man City left back, like it or not, so get real on that fact.

Thanks, your reply adds context and is appreciated.

With potentially over 60 games per season, to get the best from them, even if fit, they won't both start most games. Walker only appeared in 31 games in 21/22, Cancelo 52 (in 2 positions). Fitness and tactics will determine who plays most.

Yes let's get real. Manchester City statistics and history show that Zinchenko has been a City left back since 2017. He may wish it was otherwise as many of our supporters do, but the facts are clear, apart from a few appearances in midfield he has been a City left back. Please familiarise...

He wouldn't have his reputation so tarnished if posters like you actually didn't post false facts. It was Laporte &/or Cancelo who played Bowen on for the first goal, definitely not Zinchenko, the full match is available to watch on the club website so there is no excuse for posting a lie. He...

He might have and additionally might have snuffed out danger earlier, he may also have reduced the defensive prerssure by his attacking abilities.

"criticism is judgmental and focused on finding fault, while critique is descriptive and balanced." He criticised them , judgemental & finding fault, where was the descriptive and balanced.

We need 4 different full backs, not 3

I'm not too sure about that, to be fair for a guy on the periphery he's made a considerable contribution, when fit, over the past five seasons, a fact that was imo well illustrated by an article in the M.E.N. yesterday discussing the transfer complications his leaving might trigger. I will be...

Ok, but you said that in another post. I have adult children in show business and a cameo performance to them is made by a big name star added for publicity purposes but with no other purpose in the show. Sorry you may have used it as a compliment but I read it as a put down.
