Think we’d probably take the non-cooperation charges on the chin, but would contest anything else.

Looks like he’ll be staying as part of the squad:

Pep still seems as bullish as ever:

I presume it’s a lot more serious than just a “flirty text”, given the speed with which the BBC, Talksport and his agency have dropped him.

Ha, I assumed it was rhetorical.

Not my neck of the woods, but I thought you could get the tram direct from Eccles to Etihad?

That doesn’t make any sense tbh.

As a dog owner myself, I wouldn’t ever put its shit in someone else’s bin personally. Can see why they might take exception to it.

I think it's looking quite possible, as Fabrizio Romano has tweeted it and he has close ties with Jorge Mendes. City Report also posted something, and they seem to have some good links with Saudi stuff.

Getting €38m for Cancelo would be nearly as good business as getting Gundogan on a free. Turning into a very good window.

Yeah, I think for that reason it should be locked.

Always felt that any striker targets would be slightly leftfield, and this certainly fits the bill. Don't know an awful lot about him as I don't watch that much Scottish football, but it looks a pretty decent, pragmatic signing on paper.

Absolutely buzzing about this. Will give everyone a lift going into the new season, and the squad is suddenly looking in much better shape. Just need a backup for Haaland and we're good to go.

Assumed this would get shot down fairly quickly, but it does now feel like it could actually be happening. Would be a great short term solution for us. Even better if we send Cancelo the other way permanently.

I think this will be the season where we transition from Walker to Lewis as first choice RB. He looks ready, and deserves to be playing more regularly.

Immensely satisfying start to the season. Second half performance was outstanding in the circumstances.

Went for Rico, but Kovacic was excellent too. Special mentions for Savio and Doku as well.

Thought he was superb in the second half. Carried the ball forward brilliantly to take the pressure off us. So much more comfortable on the left than the right.

Really pleased to be winning, but we started to look very leggy after 30 minutes. Feels like the momentum is with them, so need to make changes to freshen it up. Grealish for Doku at least. Savinho has been excellent.
