As good a line up as could be hoped for really.

Thanks for playing ;-). Better luck next time.

If he'd accept being number 2 it would be a great transfer. However, if he'd accept being number 2 he'd not be leaving Barcelona. Pep's first season is going to be a rebuild job either way & I'm not expecting miracles, so I'm of the opinion Hart should be given the year to prove he can play...

We'll miss Yaya in this one. No expectations for good football anymore this season, just a win in any shape would be perfect. Solid 2-1 win. Maybe.

So because I have an *opinion* that our 4 current CB's (Denayer in for MDM) are good enough that we don't need another £40m one (unless we operate 3 at the back as I stated; in which case I'd have a different opinion on the transfer) you took that as me having a go at our new manager? To...

Yes if we go 3 at the back then the transfer makes more sense, or like I said we offload another defender. Personally believe it's Pellegrini's system that makes our CB's look so poor & a change of said system would prove to make a large difference in how good they appear rather than a change of...

Mature reply there. Having a quick glance at your posts I'm pretty confident on who has the tinier mind between the two of us.

Still don't see the need in this transfer unless we play 3 at the back or sell Mangala. Denayer/Kompany/Otamendi/Mangala is fine, and enough has been spent on CB's - this will be another risky £40m that could have been spent elsewhere IMO. We could end up about £70m down on a keeper & CB that...

Doubt this would be a popular transfer. Harts an extremely good keeper but we certainly wouldn't be buying a keeper whose only leaving for a lack of game time to then stick him on the bench - i.e. Hart would be backup & he's far too good for that essentially equaling Hart leaving. I'd much...

He's been epic for us on the pitch. Never liked the guy off the pitch though which makes it far easier for me to say Silva is still my number 1. He'll be missed for his footballing ability when he's gone not for his personality, unlike most of the others (Zab/Kompany/Hart/Silva/Aguero etc.).

Whilst I agree that he should have been in for MDM this season he definitely isn't a starter for Belgium. That was a fairly hash job team. Didn't watch the match but followed the commentary, he wasn't mentioned by name to be bad but it sounded like the Belgium defence was a bit of a shambles...

Depends on incomings obviously, he's past it but is our best CM at moving the ball from defence to attack by some distance. If we truly are getting a couple of Pogba/Kroos/Gundogan then for me it's his time to go. Been a true great on the pitch for us, not so much off it but that doesn't take...

A midfield 3 of Gundogan, Pogba & Kroos just falls into the RM trap of buying names & not players you need. 2 of those 3 with someone like Fernandinho would be perfect for me, as from what I've watched of Pogba/Kroos neither have a work rate and I assume Gundogan isn't the prolific hard working...

Yes he does & everyone knows about it. No one has heard anything of something similar being in Peps. Do you really think City would announce Pep if we haven't 100% got him, I mean really? Personally don't see us being that ridiculous. Common sense would suggest a business like ours would know...

Because he's agreed to. Very much doubt he's got a clause in there to get him out if we've announced he's definitely coming here. Nothing to do with owing, just common sense.

So you think he'll just take a year out? Or beg United to be their manager? He's leaving Bayern, he's coming here - top 4 or not. Same can't be said for his transfer targets though.

He's having the poor season of all poor seasons. Clearly should've gone last season. He's single handedly lost us most games that he plays in - cannot, surely cannot feature again for us this term. Sagna/Fernandinho at CB if needs must, but this guy cannot be in the team again. Denayer as...

Still in with a shout, but 4 games out of the last 8 look almost nailed on for dropping points (given our well documented struggled against teams in the top half). Feel like we're relying on United/West Ham messing up more than us. I think we'll miss out personally, unless we get players back...

They were shite. We managed to be worse. MDM unbelievably poor all season, said it should've been Sagna at CB. Worst performance in 52 minutes I think I've ever seen.

That's not true.
