Fair play for saying that and not doubling down. It is only credit he deserves though. Not the hyperbole other players get.

I’ve read/watched info on his goals and the comparison with Messi and Ronaldo on numerous media outlets and all the others are talking about his scoring exploits. It’s wall to wall coverage at the minute.

I think he is very good defending when players go outside him but not so effective when players come inside and make runs off the ball (concentration). Bit like Walker in that respect.

Typical Arsenal fan on Man City: It’s an absolute disgrace how much Man City spend, they need sanctions, it’s uncompetitive and makes football no longer a sport when trophies are decided by spending money. Arsenal fans response to being told, figures courtesy of transfer market, they have...

The only real benefit I can see is to give Saka a rest and also as a back up as central forward due to issues with Jesus fitness. Difficult to see him getting game time on the left with Martinelli there and Trossard (who always seems to get a raw deal) occupying that spot. His signing does not...

Personally think it is a great idea to be offered to workers but only if people have the choice. My partner takes every other Monday off and you see all the benefits which come with it. Physio/doctor/dental appointment no longer need to take a half day, do the weekly shop/big clean rather...

Yes another good example of why taking Monday off instead is advantageous. Every workplace I have ever worked, has been the same with the obsession for taking Fridays off.

Why? It is was one of the great mysteries when people work 4 days or fancy a long weekend people always take the Friday off. If it was offered to me I would take the Monday off, so still a long weekend but avoiding all the sheep taking Friday off.

Always depressing to see City fans fan shame other fanbases exactly like other fanbases try to do about us. I went to nearly every home match in the 96/97, 97/98, 98/99 season and although our support was admirable, there was plenty of empty seats and our period in the wilderness was for a much...

Great servant to the club but he always had limitations as a player. Thought he had incredible physical attributes, tremendous pace and stamina, off the ball movement, worked tirelessly but his technique was inconsistent and so even the simplest of tasks (simple finishes) he would struggle...

Good luck to him. Life is never simple and things don’t always work out like you want them to. Played his part at City in a the clubs continued success. Let’s hope he goes on and finds happiness and a settled life in Saudi.

Keep posting pal, it is good to hear alternative views and views from other clubs fans. For the record I think it will go to the wire again. I still think we will slightly edge it as a squad but we’re talking fine margins and if our motivations drop slightly that could be the difference to...

Yes fully understand the position you are coming from and understand it’s not a slight on Gundogan in any way. I’m sure the club probably expected to fill the position much easier but as you have highlighted with Guimaraes, it probably indicates that the club does not see value in the market...

But that also highlights why getting Gundogan back is such a great deal. There are not the players on the market. When City found a player suitable for the role they were prepared to pay upwards of 90 million for Declan Rice, it is not for a lack of trying. They have also shown interest in...

You cannot say anything in all honesty. He is a German international, started for the club previously, knows Peps system and the players inside out, no adaptation period required, able to cover the Rodri role, we have not managed to fill since he left, and also more advanced positions. This in...

It is a very small world out there. I was the guy who approached you and your partner and asked you ‘if it is ‘Chorlton running club in Manchester’ and we discussed Marple Park Run. Probably the toughest road half I have completed.

Hi M32 I ran the Frome Half on Sunday and as you say it was proper hilly for a road Half. Sort of ascent you expect on a trail run. I started off quite well but that long climb from 5k to 6.5k took a lot out of the legs and the final hill, after the downhill back into the town, was borderline...

Sounds like he would be ideal in the north western.

Yes I would not disagree with that. Obv a lot of the manoeuvres with players are due to the la Liga restrictions so whether players aportion the blame to the authorities rather than Barca or they just think it’s too good an opportunity to miss I don’t know. For the likes of Garcia, Torres etc...

Yes but there still one of the two biggest clubs in the world with a rich history and aura about them. Players want to be connected with that, plus the lifestyle etc.
