To be fair, that Barcelona team was almost entirely made up of youth players. We had more 1st teamers on.

This has to be bollocks? 50 m quid for Alvarez, are they having a laugh? Reject all the lowball offers because too many clubs are starting to exploit the whole City will let their players go if they want to thing. It's at the right price or no deal.

Meanwhile, no links to a DM. Madness.

Do we really think any team will pay up what Julian is worth? Doubt it, to say the least. He is staying, IMO.

Fair enough. Although, there were several other posters claiming we would get the likes of Wharton, Kimmich, Guimaraes, Eze or what not :). We were all wrong by the looks of it :(.

Incredible.

Nowhere near our level. Are people that desperate for new players? This lad played in poor leagues/clubs and never did anything out of ordinary. He is older than Rico. We are the best club in the world.

Right back is the issue, IMO, with aging Kyle. Ake and Gvardiol are probably the best pair of LBs in the world despite being CDs. The biggest issue is, of course, the lack of the Rodri backup, though.

We could have given them 70 or more + Kalvin or some other fringe player.

Out of form last season, sure, so in the worst form of them 4, but in terms of his peak-level, he is the best of them all as it stands. They might (and are likely to) overtake him in the future, though, of course.

Inexplicable why we were not seriously interested in Neves...

We need him to leave ASAP to accommodate the Rodri backup.

Does he have an offer, though? What I mean is Atletico willing to pay what we want for Julian? That's the key here, IMO.

Context matters. He didn't say anything bad.

I am in the minority, but I am excited to see how he does this season. Let's see now in his 2nd season, hopefully with more minutes under his belt.

Some quote out of context and people acting like he wants to leave. I don't see it. He is staying, IMO.

I was wondering what language Oscar was using speaking to Savinho. Incredible!

Not sure what you mean, but this is my take on the current state of our team: XI: Ederson (Ortega here and there), Akanji, Dias, Ake, Gvardiol, Rodri, Kev, Foden, Jack, Bernardo and Haaland. This is what I see as our best 11. You could make an argument for Jeremy instead of Jack ( I am sure...

Neither Bobb nor Savio will start. Bernardo will start. We are so stacked in attacking midfield/wings it's hard to see how we keep all these players happy. KDB, Phil, Jack, Jeremy, Oscar, Savinho, Bernardo for 3 spots. Having said that, maybe we could play Bernardo in CM more.
