yep, Guerreiro is a cracking player! Angelino just seems suited to the German league?
When we’re playing Cancelo at left-wingback in our biggest game of the season, I’d suggest the teeth marks are already visible in our arses. ;-)I still think we should move him on (same with Adarabioyo). He is at the age where he got to be playing regular football. Whether it comes back to bite us is another matter.

What constitutes ‘regular football’? Should Jesus and Foden move on as well?
We are already making losses on numerous players this season, in relation to their presumed value and what we projected we might receive, and I cannot see RBL changing their tune, so we’re unlikely to find a taker unless we drop the agreed price. It doesn’t make sense to do that then offer another club (Angers wanted €30m) for someone untried. Whom should we sign instead?
As I said there aren't any left backs currently on the market that could really help. But messing Angelino about shouldn't be on the agenda either. He barely featured under Pep and it will be the same if he returned.
Twelve starts for us nineteen for RBL.
If he wants to return and fight for a spot, we’re hardly messing him about. He knows the competition and probably fancies his chances now that he’s seen it’s not that good; he’s also probably brimming with confidence given his CL exploits. If it doesn’t work out, fair enough, he can go elsewhere. Our defence is a shambles, and as you admit, there are no other options on the market, so why shoot ourselves in the foot? Again.
I’ve never seen Mendy look fit in a city shirt. One of our worst signings. Not saying it’s his fault but injuries have done for him.A fully fit Mendy is just as good

You’re still not solving the problem and the pecking order changes. Angelino would now be well ahead of Zinchenko, who should be moved on, and likely on a par with Mendy, especially if Guardiola wants greater flexibility. What is your alternative solution other than to repeat it’s not Angelino?We aren't making the same mistake twice in promsing starts and barely playing him despite a succesful loan spell. Pep wasn't completely convinced (the lack of starts should be telling where he was in the pecking order despite the weaknesses) and Angelino was proactive and decided to get more game time rather than stick around.
I mean if the club/Pep is not convinced then would have they have told him already right? I mean why would the club waste a good amount of assured money (since Leipzig favours him) in bringing him in. It cannot be solely his wish alone to return and fight.We aren't making the same mistake twice in promsing starts and barely playing him despite a succesful loan spell.

Cancelo was picking splinters for the majority of the season now he’s flavour of the month despite being a wet fart of a defenderOf course injuries have been a major however he did have talent when we had signed him.
It remains still the same if he did return. If Pep really rated him he wsould be in the side right now.
Sorry but I would love to visit the planet where Angelino is better than TagliaficoI think the biggest sign he might be coming back is that he's not been linked with anyone else.
It's mid-august and he's a young (homegrown) attacking LB looking good in a CL semi-final and available for £25m (based on the Leipzig clause).
If he were for sale, I'd expect Leicester and Chelsea to both be linked with him. He's better than both Chillwell and Tagliafico, the 2 those two are buying, and significantly cheaper.
Even if he didn't end up at a club like that, there would be links, City would be putting his name out there.

He is Guardiola’s media mouthpiece tbf just like Mourinho and CastlesBallbag is another spoofer. He makes a living making up complete nonsense.
