For a hierarchy that's obsessed with how the club is viewed from an optics point in terms of spending, sure hell will be an interesting summer window because we're now obviously forced to spend really big if we have any sort of ambition of remaining at the top. How we got to this point over...

Would do Kudus or Mbeumo...Both can cover the RW and also step in as at striker for Erling (Mbeumo definitely can). Mbeumo is probably more doable though at the moment. Wharton or Bruno G is a toss-up for me...Huge fan of either. Both top class but feel, depending on how high we would want to...

Waste of another first half or 60 mins. The balance in the team was and has been wrong. Usual suspects that I have no energy to keep piling on. Roll on to Brentford, with the same line-up as today because clearly this has been a recurring theme. Go behind, wake up, and fingers crossed.

How many players haven't gotten on with Simeone to such a public extent? Or rather how many attacking players has Simeone not thought of being worth the time or effort? The list of attacking players who've flourished with Simeone, regardless of how he sets Atleti up or his antics, speaks for...

Keyword here is 'were'. Whatever our strategy is/has been this summer is another story, but we're not bringing in Paqueta to cover Rodri.. We're obviously looking to add creativity to that midfield, or attack, with Paqueta and don't think Luis or Redondo, or such a profile, does that.

What's the co-relation between two defensive midfielders and Paqueta?

Again, if the approach is giving the kids a chance, then fine by me. I don't agree with it fully nor do I like it but it is what it is. Whether that works or not, remains to be seen. But let's be consistent with it and lower expectations for that matter then. But obviously if things don't go to...

And fair enough. But the point I disagreed with was that we can only sign upgrades on what we have, since that is just disingenuous cause such players are already established and playing at the top echelon and or untouchable in terms of a transfer. For that we would have put up and offer...

Going by this logic, we're never signing anyone again for the foreseeable future.

'*It's Quiet 18 - Wanna Gaslight?'

He is literally the antithesis of what Grealish offers on that side... Risky football, little defensive awareness, no control Whatever happened behind the scenes aside, what he was mostly doing (or rather, not doing) on the pitch in the first half of last season, was borderline criminal. Only...

Last sentence. The snobbish attitude towards Rice is disappointing, but not surprising. The only midfielder of his ilk at his level, or rather who's better than him in Europe is already at City, Rodri. Everyone else is just levels below him. Trying to throw in fairy and nothing players from...

Purely on a light note, but if the club sought unanimous views on signings and players from this forum, our team would roughly currently look this ; Hart Zaba Koulibaly Kompany Grimaldo/Nuno Mendes Aouar F. de Jong D.Silva/Gundo KDB J.Felix Sane Curious to see how this would fair tbf

About Hakimi,, that's the latest official news on his ongoing case. No club, let alone, and especially us, is touching him, and rightfully so. https://apnews.com/article/achraf-hakimi-psg-morocco-world-cup-indicted-rape-allegations-f69c8a61efce04fe7f2c7afb4e073ed9

More likely the latter, only going by the fact that Ornstein's, more than the London journos, on it. No way he puts that story out without double checking it with the City hierarchy (well-known he's close to Berrada),,and if we were just 'monitoring', City would have just said it's not a goer...

That ship sailed in 2019,,Pep is a genius yes, but he is not a miracle worker. Was a fan, but it's been almost 4 years since his breakthrough season, and he still plays like an academy player,,a nothing player who doesn't particularly excel in any phase of the game. The idea or 'potential' of...

Pretty privilege effect. João Félix is next on that list.

Would take MacAllister to replace Gundo. Stylistically quite similar. Question is the fee Brighton would accept especially with the noise around him from his entourage that he will leave in the summer.

Was never a penalty yesternight (can see why it was given though),but dear me,the number of rash decisions he's been making or made in the last year or so,under the guise of sweeping,is shocking. Rarely looks like he can keep us in games in periods where we aren't playing well and just huge...

A lot of revisionism around him but still arguably our best winger/wing forward..Just offers us a different kind of threat to our other options. In terms of a replacement,keep hearing the club trusts in Palmer/McAtee but I'm sorry but not convinced..Pep just hasn't shown enough form for this...
