He’s in Saudi, so it’s not because of him.

Yes. Because we’re not touching the ball and playing with a man down.

I would bring off Haaland and bring Jack on. Move Foden to false 9. Need to retain some possession here.

Rodri was stupid, but not getting the first free was why he was so aggro after the second incident.

Reckon he will from the other side of the box. Both frees in that first half were better for right footer.

Was gutted by that sale. Thought he had a lot of potential. Being originally from Northern Ireland too, I was very disappointed by his sale. That late 80s to mid 90s we lost some pretty decent young talent from the club that could have had good/long careers with us Hughes, Lennon, Lomas...

Same. Thought he was easily our worst player on the pitch that first half, by some distance.

Doku and Gvardiol both should have done better up the pitch, Walker was nowhere near JWP as he was pushed upfield. Personally think with low block teams like this who counter fast we need a full back that stays back and Alvarez for another mid.

If (and it’s a big if) that’s the release clause, I don’t know why they didn’t just leave him on the 2 year contract on current wages. Save 15.5M in wages over the next two years and have control over the sale price next season if someone comes in for him.m Just seen that it doesn’t kick in...

Was an appalling decision. Should have been yellow card for diving. Clear and obvious error by the Ref awarding the penalty.

Said when he joined Celtic and when he joined Spurs that he’s a good manager. And he does come across as a decent bloke. He’s done well wherever he’s gone. He’d be a smokey for us in a few years time if he performs well at Spurs. The CFG folk will know enough about him given his time in Japan.

This. I do thing it’s interesting that the timing of these charges comes out AFTER we ended our interest. Would love to know how long the FA have been sitting on this information. No doubt they (and WHU) would have preferred this to come out when he was a City player and we’d just spend...

I took it as the pre-Super Cup, not since Pep was manager. However I agree that it sounds like Cole wants to leave. Maybe playing and getting a goal in the match changes that?

Or maybe, as per my post, Pep has been playing the non La Pausa KDB there. My comment related to Foden not being able to play in midfield because he has no La Pausa. We’ve got the best midfielder in the world with no La Pausa. I reckon that’s more likely why Foden has had limited time in...

I’m sorry, but I just don’t get this La Pausa bollocks. KDB hasn’t got any La Pausa but he’s the best midfielder in the world. The midfield in the CS all had La Pausa and we didn’t look like scoring. Based on tonights showing (as well as previous seasons) I’d say he’s our best wide threat. On...

City have denied guilt because their position is they have not done anything contrary to the rules. Had to go all the way to CAS to get this sorted. So from the UEFA FFP standpoint we have successfully argued what our position has been all along. That we did not breast the FFP refs. We now...

Potentially. That’s my point. There’s one bidder this summer. Us. Don’t see why we would bid against ourselves when we have a valuation. We seem unwilling to match what RB say they want. So RB has a choice. Either accept it or reject it. They then have the choice next season if bids come...

Agree, wouldn’t like to see this at all.

Just because someone has a release clause doesn’t mean that clubs will pay that. Like any sale, whether there’s a release clause or not, the buying club can have its own valuation and try and get the player in for that. Don’t think there’s any other serious bidders for his signature currently...

Yep. Exactly what I thought when my Son just informed me of this rumoured deal. Dodgy and yet so transparent. The one silver lining for MCFC, from a monetary perspective, is we should get the full 80m for Bernardo from PSG if they want him.
