Assessment of our business this summer | Poll Added

[John Wayne]

I think it’s too early to judge any of our signings so far. Maybe January would be a better point to assess.

Agreed. Too many knee-jerk reactions at the moment. Paqueta was a blow, because he could have covered for Rodri these past couple of weeks.

 

[Tevez City]

Laporte wasn't going to stick around being fourth choice so what do you think we should of done?

Even without Laporte, we will end up with 4 CBs which is not bad

But we needed a solid & creative LB more than the need for another CB.

The midfield problem is only going to get worse in the short term, KDB is knocking on a bit and becoming more susceptible to injury, Bernado will (probably) finally depart at the end of this season, and Phil is just one man. Rodri has no cover to speak of and we're left with Doku, Nunes and Kova all with a long way to go to fill the boots of the above or Gundog/Mahrez. Phillips unfortunately looks lost when he plays, which is a pity because he's undoubtedly a good player, just not in our system

Then we have Jack.....promises so much and no doubt keeps the ball exceptionally well, which fits in with the pep plan, but he really should be providing more in the way of goals/assists/chance creation.

Of course the new boys may just need time to adjust, but for all 3 to work out will be some achievement

The one good thing is we have 6 very good defenders which should mean we have no reason to spend there for a couple of seasons, plus Rico coming through at a pace

This 100%. We were linked with Maddison however nothing seemed concrete. We miss creative spark without KDB.

Madison has a level of creativity we are missing.

 

[Keeper!]

The Paqueta problem fucked us imo

He is without doubt a quality player and is in superb form which makes it even harder in our current situation.

You had Lavia and Palmer: the Rodri's replacement and the quality midfielder that you are now missing. Your mistake is not in the signings but in the sales.

 

[Sibierskii]

Maddison deemed ‘not city level’ by many on here in the summer.

Lol.

 

[Kunlover]

OUT: Gündoğan, Mahrez, Palmer, Laporte, Mendy
IN: Gvardiol, Nunes, Kovačić, Doku

5/10, coming players are not better that the ones that departed City.

 

[Paul1970]

Think we definitely need a seasoned left back aswell because we are getting pulled down that left hand side
