You are absolutely spot on at least as far as the Soton game goes. I don't necessarily notice regularly, but it was absolutely terrible this weekend. It's like no one was down in the corner or something.. I couldn't believe how many times where I asked where is the damn multi-ball?!

Nike are the preeminent athletics brand in the world. It's good for City to be wearing their gear, however the commercial team made an embarrassingly poor deal before and need to rectify it. Either buy out the rest of the years and force a renegotiation or offer the kit deal to another...

Don't think he wanted to leave Sociedad yet or be tied to City long term right now. They probably needed some help financially and we saw it all as a win win.

As I said all summer, we really should have politely shown him the door. Age has taken his toll and he just is not good enough any more -- that much was very, very clear last season. At a minimum, we have to manage the games he's played in very carefully. I understand that Pep felt like Sagna...

I believe at the time of the loan it was described as him signing with their B team. Probably will not play for the senior team for awhile if at all.

There's no way that he hasn't received numerous "warnings" in the past due to Seluk. City in general needed to show a strong hand after the amount of shit he had spewed plus it reiterates the power that Pep has which is obviously important. This was undoubtedly a very calculated move.

Velez apparently intend to try and push this through to the CAS but obviously they have no leg to stand on. If I had to guess, even though they couldn't do so before, there will probably be some sort of fee agreed upon and provided to Velez as a token of good will and to just get this to go away.

I suppose you're right about that although it was only done because of the fixture congestion. Guardiola's substitutions have been very unique in terms of taking off defenders so I guess you kind of have to take what is often done with a grain of salt. With that being said, typically speaking...

Sterling wasn't giving off any sort of vibe that he'd leave Liverpool prior to the interview he gave. There's really very little way to tell in this sort of situation. I'd say it's a possibility in the summer but obviously any talk of January is farcical.

The obvious answer is that it was what was decided upon prior to the match. I'm sure there was significant consultation between VK, the club, the physios, etc. and after his month plus of full training with the squad, his behind closed doors friendlies, etc., it was determined he was ready to go...

At the end of June, they publicly threatened to do it: http://www.mcfcwatch.com/2016/06/28/velez-sarsfield-threaten-to-report-manchester-city-to-fifa-over-garre-deal/

Vinnie played well last night, but this was against an exceptionally weak Swansea team. I wouldn't put too much stock in this single performance on its own, but it was very encouraging given the lengthy lay off. But all one has to do is look at the number of games in the past two seasons where...

He'll be out for a month at least. Probably more, to be honest. He did play very well last night which of course makes it especially frustrating. Unfortunately though, in the last two years.. there have been many games where that wasn't the case and unfortunately that will be the case fairly...

I can't really imagine any other team playing him enough to make it worth losing the training sessions under Pep and Arteta. As far as the teams who might actually play him, in the second half they will be thinking about staying up and little else and won't put much stock into playing an on loan...

Why? He's been in full training for over a month. I'm sure that the plan for the amount of time he'd play was discussed between him and Pep prior to the match -- it's not like Tosin couldn't have simply slotted in for him instead of Aleix at the end. The plan was surely to get a full game under...

They look quite good when worn as a whole. Nice font for the player names as well. Very sharp.

Very clearly the MOTM tonight even before his goal. Needs to be ahead of Fernando in the pecking order, IMO. Obviously Fernando can serve a different role as far as coming on to close a game out like he did vs United, but Aleix should be starting ahead of him if we're resting Fernandinho or...

What a goal. Aleix you beauty!

Can tell this is quite a B team. Had a nice chance to counter there but everyone was running into one another. Passes not quick enough.
