Exactly this and they still only beat us from a fortunate deflection. That was about as good as Arsenal can give today.

Taylor shouldn’t have reffed a single city game again after that disgrace at home v Chelsea in 2016, yet here we are.

So is Southgate unable to make a decision for himself? His use of Phil for England is based on a presumption of what Pep thinks??

The bloke is utterly obsessed and will just move the goalposts forever to complain about city. If we had a full 23 man squad that had come from the academy he’d be calling for restrictions on who we can recruit at youth level.

You’d have to ask Pep mate

The fact we have just gone and spent best part of 50m on another RW who is the same age as Palmer unfortunately speaks volumes for his prospects at city. Getting 45-50m for him would be good business if he isn’t gonna get a chance.

Fair do’s thought it applied to the league generally for some reason

If this is the case, wonder what the plan is for McAtee? Think you can only loan out 1 player to another PL team.

50% sell on is huge considering these clauses are usually 20% or so at most. Hopefully Chelsea are interested in him this time next year and we will net a cool 30m extra.

Top man, shame his career with us fizzled out a bit last season but let’s not forget the good times. Laporte was just about the best CB in the league in our domestic treble win, and he put his body on the line to help drag us to that title win in 2022 with a destroyed knee. Who knows what...

I know the persistent rumour has been Bernardo wants out, but consider he possibly isn’t that desperate to go that he will literally sign for anyone else? Why would another team even try and bother signing him if Bernardo is only interested in Barca, Real or Benfica should he leave city?

I’m more worried about what “confidential issues” means than not getting Paqueta. Wtf?

Definitely one of the frowny faces as you say, but I also think Pep was referencing him (& Cancelo) indirectly when he heaped praise on Ake and Akanji’s defensive focus midway through last season. That presser felt like a message being sent. Laporte & Cancelo were involved in the fuck up v...

Can’t see Laporte going for a fee at this stage. Probably a loan somewhere.

The greatest

Good luck Mahrez

Tbf him leaving Goal to join the Athletic can’t have helped. He had better info before then. As tolm says the club use Gaughan more now which makes absolute sense; if the club want to leak tidbits why would they do it to a reporter who’s content is all behind a paywall.

Grealish appeared nailed on from about April onwards that season and we didn’t announce it until August.

I don’t see where Veiga fits in to be honest, especially as both Phil and Alvarez seem to rotate into that KDB role already. Completely different type of midfielder to Rice so how is that an alternative? Same goes for some of the other names being clamoured for in here. I don’t think we are...

Chelsea bid last summer I think, and our interest started to be rumoured shortly afterward in august time. Presumably with us having an eye on him for this summer. Think Madrid were linked too during the World Cup?
