There’s no way we’d get a deal done that quickly. ;)

Regardless of whether we sign him or not, I seem to recall we have first refusal?

When we factor in the sale of Garcia and or Stones/Otamendi then £80 Million (if we do go that high) isn’t a bad deal. It’s not my money anyway but as a previous poster said and I have to agree, we need a world class centre back to come in now and 29 isn’t exactly past it if we can get 3 or so...

Anything from Tolmie on this one?

I'd have started Otamendi personally. I agree though, it's the end of their careers at City unless there's a dramatic change of heart from Pep. A 19 year old kid who wants to go to Barca getting picked though? Something is seriously, seriously wrong behind the scenes.

What a message to send to the rest of the squad hey Pep? Let's play a CB who doesn't want to remain here ahead of established players. What message does that send out? I wouldn't have even put him on the bench. Get what we can and put it towards the fella from Napoli.

I'm not quite sure you'd still be saying that this morning had Sterling equalised and we'd gone on to win the game. I'm as peed off as you with last night as are plenty of others but come on....we ain't THAT bad.

Playing any formation where we are not used to it and unfamiliar with who's tracking who or who's marking who for example and it's asking for trouble. Walker on the first goal and the high line as you say too.

I've tried to find some sort of reasoning behind Pep's thinking in picking a team and formation in a game of that magnitude. I've reached a conclusion and therefore can only assume that he was "resting' players for the Bayern semi and in doing so, grossly underestimated Lyon. Absolutely...

Surely the best way to piss UEFA off was us being banned but winning it?

We didn't shit the bed mate, we didn't even turn up to shit the bed!

Agreed, although the best way to answer them all is on the pitch...Come on City! Let's beat these corrupt tw@@s.

If Garcia wants to go...let him go. Shame as it is (because he's a talent) it's £20 Million or so towards Koulibaly or similar. I'd prefer that personally.

No chance of Messi then?

I think we'll see Ake and Laporte as the main two. A distinct lack of pace has been the problem.
