I agree but even in a minor role he would struggle. His legs have gone and his mind has also slowed down, he is 34 and also had a year out of the PL, getting back up to speed would be difficult for a player in his prime, never mind an old veteran with several serious injuries in the past.

"I hope City have collected and saved everything Harris and Magic Hat have written about the club, and when the 115 cases is over, hand it over to Lord Pannick and his legal team." If a few of the recent murmurs are remotely true , I think are legal team will be employed for some time and...

Stones for Braithwaite 100%. I have enjoyed watching Johnny and he is a great lad but he has dropped off alarmingly and his fitness is now beyond a joke. We need some pace in that back line, except Akaji and Walker fading like the winter sun , we have little.

We are an elite club but we are also a bit soft for my liking, sometimes loyalty is great but it can also come back to bite you hard as we have seen this season. Maybe we have been too loyal for too long for a few of our players.

Ake and Stones miss too many football games that's just a fact. You can have one player like that but not 2 when your playing 60 games a season and when they are both on 200k a week.

Exactly, could play 90 ,minutes 3 times a week for England, yet a constant sick note for us.

When Pep walked through the door on his first day he was utterly ruthless with a club legend in Joe Hart. I get the feeling that same ruthlessness will return and I can see several shocks coming in the coming months with who leaves the club and I am not talking about the likes of KDB and Gundo...

Please stop putting this on this thread, it should go in the general football thread

If were still winning games and titles no-one would care but that's how it goes. We have had a dream decade, now time to step back, rebuild and come back stronger and more together than ever.

It should be a thread with a poster now serving a lifetime ban, along with been tarred and feathered at half time at the next home game.

Easy to say that with hindsight. No doubt both are top players but there was not a chance they were going to get the game time they needed with us. Same issue now with McAtee, I have no doubt in a couple of seasons we will be saying what a player we let go. But the fact remains that Pep for...

He could well do, I just hope he signs a new deal but not even a mention of him getting offered one, which is weird for me. Maybe he wanted out last summer and we did a deal for him to give us one more year?

Stones or Ake will have to go for me, and I would stick with Ake, cheaper and more reliable. Gone will be KDB, Walker, Bernardo, Ortega, Grealish and Gundogan. Question marks against Nunes if we can get in quality replacements.

FFS The ginger is responsible for our slump, bring back the ginger! Good riddance, he was cringy and embarrassing to see on videos. You should be banned for even thinking of this.

We need cover, we lose Haaland and we are royaly &ucked!

Delap will be brought back, buy back option and a no brainer. He plays back up for a season and if he is not pushing for a starting spot he will be sold again and for profit.

For me a player under huge pressure. Two years ago in the CL final he was magnificent and MOM but he has never got back to anywhere near that level and now is constantly unfit. We simply can't afford these injurie absences, they are far too frequent.

Nonsense, there is not a manager in football that can guarantee to be around more than 2 years. a 2 year commitment from Pep after already doing 8 is incredible.

Form has fallen off a cliff from the standard he sets. Are you an elite player Phil?

"Worried about life after KDB." I am worried with him, he was a magnificent player but is way off and his body is broken and has been for some time. All good things come to an end.
