22 | Vitor Reis - 2024/25

[King Jay]

I hope he stays next season so he can improve his English and also gets used more to the squad as the number 4 CB behind gvardiol, Dias and Khusanov. With Ake and Akanji being potential backups of the fullbacks and Stones being injured all the time anyways there should be a chance. Girona is not possible until winter sadly .

Would like to see him given more chances next season. Should stay with the squad.

Next season will see opportunity, I think, for Reis and Bah, as well as Khusanov and O'Reilly.

I think the plan with Bah is another loan. The initial reports were to keep him at Valladolid and then a prem loan if successful. That obviously all changed when the deal for Bah changed but had Lens lined up for a loan move. He’s still looked impressive but have to remember his meteoric rise from Sierra Leone is still very short lived and could do with more experience. That said I can’t wait to see more of Bah.

With Reis I find it odd how little we’ve seen of him especially with injuries to Stones/Ake/Akanji. If he was bought in to eventually replace one now is a perfect time to play as they are injured. Obviously Khusaniv has hit the ground running and is the priority of those two but still thought we’d see more of Reis of the bench. I hope they keep him around the squad

I think we need to secure a Champions League place before thinking about sending players out on loan, if we qualify we need a good squad, if not we can let a couple of youngsters out on loan

 

[Gorbachev]

I believe the reason he came in January and didn't stay on loan at Palmeiras is City wanted him here so in the long run he would count as homegrown.

I think he will be with us next season and 2 of Akanji, Stones or Ake will leave.

True. Pep has always said anointing wanting a small squad as having multiple great players means they all want to play a lot. But this year he’s openly said we need a bigger squad with the extended calendar but also injuries.

I read somewhere that Bah has been told that there will be opportunities here, next season, because of expected departures. He is now playing consistent 90m matches and doing very well.

See my comment about Bah - I think you are correct.

"I hope he stays next season so he can improve his English"

He already speaks better English than most English people.
