The bloke has just joined the most complicated sports team in the world and is the same age that most people are either struggling to get a degree or experimenting with ecstasy, so I don't mind him needing a few months to get up to speed with us. Talent-wise he's obviously unreal and makes me...

Nothing against him as a person (he seems a great guy in fact) but surely at this point the lack of minutes is Pep's way of saying 'please accept these bids, we won't use you here'? If so, I think the scouting department need to take the blame as much as Kalvin on this one. For me the biggest...

That describes almost all of our players at the moment so I wouldn't hold it against Rico. 18 years old is still plenty of time to improve on his weaker aspects anyway, and he is faring better than almost any other player would in his shoes ie. being asked to fill in at left-back, midfield and...

Like what we're hearing about the team, shame if Stones/Dias can't play but Foden, De Bruyne and Lewis all starting sounds good. Didn't really expect Josko to start the first league game.

Doubt Pep's resting anyone, I reckon he sees this as the more important of the two games. If anyone is missing they're either not fit or he's got a tactical reason. Maybe he sees pace as the way to beat their right-back so has left Jack out? We'll find out in a bit anyway.

When you think about it, it's crazy that we could have three top centre-backs out at the same time and still be able to put out one of the strongest defences in the world on paper.

De Bruyne, Bernardo, Foden, Kovacic, Perrone, McAtee is enough in midfield. Would rather make do for a season than go and get Paqueta.

What an absurd amount of money for a relatively limited DM who's had one good season.

I don't have a problem with it. Pretty sure Grealish did the same and then was much better in his second season.

Can't see it if it's going to be upwards of £70m.

Going skiing as a pro footballer in his mid thirties was also grossly negligent of him.

Following up a treble winning season with a year of giving that bunch a chance to break out and cement themselves as regulars wouldn't be the worst thing in the world. No matter what we do the narrative will be that it's a step backwards but if we give Cole and McAtee a chance and they turn out...

Happens all the time that we think there's no chance we won't strengthen a position and in the end we don't. We used to go into every transfer window thinking there was no way we wouldn't sign a left-back. Pep's a cheat code, if we don't sign a new winger he'll probably invent a new system to...

What was Raheem thinking going there? An all-timer bad career decision.

Think he's saying 'Neymar's personality isn't that bad' not 'Jack's a prick'.

Friendly or not that could be a huge moment for Cole's career.

Looking forward to seeing how he fares against Chris Wood on Saturday.

Years of Walker staying back have made him seriously forget how to cross. He used to get decent assist numbers and now he crosses like Navas.

She's really not that bad.

Not great but that's first game of the season for you. Hopefully KDB is up to playing half an hour.
