Ferdy in my opinion is one of the best DM in the world and don't get playing him at CB, he is a great tackler, gets around the pitch,reads the game well and is great on the ball but is not strong enough and to small to play against the bigger PM strikers. It's a lose lose playing him CB.

I don't dislike Maguire and think he will do a job for us as will add the height, power and aggression(which is needed), but the 70 - £100m figures being quoted seems expensive to me. Isn't Alderwierd available for £25/30m? He could fill a gap for a few years until the youngsters develop.

If it is genuine then I reckon it will be with Ederson as he loves extreme sports. Anyone see the video when he was standing in a bike cage with them zipping around him.

Yep totally agree. Also Gundo was great at the end of the season when he had a long run of games to build confidence/match fitness but thought he was average first half of the season when restricted to playing every other week. I would like to see Foden have a decent run of games on a row so...

Maybe he has a fetish for hairy armpits!

Nearly every club has spent above its "trading income/ means" at some point. It's very hard to name a club that hasn't.

You not related to Columbo are you? You maybe right given we have not dismissed it. I take your points re Liverpool but think they will be in/desperate to get him. He's dykes rent boy and will see this as a massive coup.

We don't need to sell and as far as I'm aware he hasn't handed in a transfer request. Why should we be bullied into selling to Bayern.....there's no way we would be disrespectful tapping up their players in public without permission. Keep him another season and if he still hasn't signed or...

Do we have any credible sources linking him to us? Seems strange that he hasn't signed for Barca yet given the months of speculation, must be having second thoughts.

Apparently we offered €70m for him. Questionable source though.

Issue around kompany is always fitness/injuries. When he is fully fit he is in first 11, we won every game he played this season (bar wolves) and Guadiola picked him in all the key must win games (when fit). To say he is 4th choice is silly in my opinion.

4th choice - you having a laugh!?

I agree, I know he made a few misplaced passes but overall thought he was decent again tonight. He defended very well, broke up play well, made some good blocks,won all his headers, organised the defence. Any centre back in the league would look slow against Rashford. He is definitely still in...

Not sure how you have drawn these conclusions. We have won every game Kompany has been involved in this season (bar the wolves 1-1 draw). Every time we needed a result/big game he has been class. He was our best defender against Liverpool at home , against Spurs on Wednesday and when we needed...

So gutted, thought Gundo was average at best, the other 3 were terrific though. Not sure re mentality, thought we were just unlucky and PEP underestimated first leg which ultimately cost us.

It will be interesting to see if the atmosphere is as good tomorrow as it was for the Liverpool game. Every champs league game I have been to it never seems as good as the prem games.

If we do get through against spurs it will be good to look at the Ajax players first hand. There might be some other gems apart from De ligt.

Mahrez can't start FFS. My team taking into injuries is as follows: Eddie Mendy Laporte Kompany Walker Ferdy KDB Bernando Sterling Sergio Sane :

Yep difficult to criticise PEP, but sometimes even he makes a mistake re team selection. Leaving out KDB and Bernando (injured?!) meant we didn't have much legs in midfield with Silva and Gundo.

I thought this re injury as he seemed quite fit and in great form at the beginning of the season but has tailed off since Xmas. Still not made my mind up whether his recent sluggish performaces are down to age,injuries or personal circumstances ( new born baby therefore not sleeping or training...
