Benjamin Mendy

No mate. 30 degrees every day this week during the day. Down to about 8 at night but it's beautiful. I'll be in the Cape in a couple of weeks.

Thought I was in the transfer forum for a minute, it is the travel and holiday forum isn't it?

 

[Decepticon]

Still waiting for twosips confirm this transfer :p

Who would be your first 11, I can't pick a midfield if we play serf and Jesus. Some unbelievable bench next season.

As we've not seen Bernardo in a City shirt yet I'd have to expect to start with:

____________Ederson
Walker Kompany Stones Mendy
___________Gundogan
_____De Bruyne ____D. Silva
Jesus_______ Aguero___ Sane__________________Bench: Bravo Danilo Otamendi Fernandinho Yaya B. Silva Sterling (feel like I'm missing someone on bench)

But probably get shouted at if we take this thread off topic :-)

You see the empty half of the glass. I see the best couple of CB s in the world (Kompany+Otamendi) plus a future star (Stones) + Mangala. And we have added top 5 rb and lb. We have 2 of the best young wingers in the world (Sterling+Sane), and de Bruyne/B Silva that can play there. Best ST in the world+ the next best ST in the world. We only need one young, good DM and we are done. That could be the new brazilian boy.

Not gonna try & knock your optimism, good for you. Have to disagree with how highly you rate some of our players though! Let's hope you're right eh.

I only see Real above us, as a squad. We have come a long way..

I see Barca, Bayern, Real, Juve, PSG, and possibly Chelsea above us.

Everybody always overrates their own squad. West Ham think they've got a CL finishing squad.

Bring some of that 30 degrees.
If you make it to Hermanus come visit the MCFC supporters club Hermanus branch. (Thats me and the lad and the missus)

Mendy/Sane down the left and Walker/Sterling down the right. Good look containing that. Then after 60 mins we change sterling for b silva and sane for Jesus f**k me.

 

[rapidCT]

Agree but if we get Sanchez I think we would be on a par with them at least. This team has everything and more. Unbelievable pace out wide, power and flair through the middle and the finishing up front. Someone is going to get a real good hiding next season.

If we can get Sanchez and a DM, someone like Casemiro, than the sky is the limit for this team. I can t wait to see that face of Pep again, like when Lewa scored 5.

Last season maybe but not next.

Now it's the dating forum!

This is the post on the rag forum, I've seen a few people mention it. (sorry if this was posted already).

It's bizzare to me it's took a rag to point out how good mendy is, maybe all the it's "too expensive" crew will button it.

Or for Sanchez, Foden, Roberts, or whoever we want.

Not Juve, they have lost 2 big parts of their defence, and we have hopefully strengthened where we were weak

 

[aguerooo93]

Real and Bayern imo, maybe PSG if they sign both Neymar and Sanchez. But after Mendy and Danilo sign, we'll look so much stronger in every position than we were this time last year.

Whats key for us now is the average age of this squad and its ability to not only perform now but just keep getting better.

we just need to sign a bent referee (Taylor from the rags would be amazing) and we are nailed on for the treble

Looks like he's gonna give Foden a chance too. Can't wait for the season to start. Mendy and Walker totally change our team.

True mate. You can have the best team in the world but if we get the same standard of refereeing as last season we're f***ed

Bayern will be all over the place next season. Lahm and Alonso retired, Ribery and Robben are getting older, can t rate them.

Plus if we rest them and play all out attack with 3 defenders. We have so many options. We are going to see some beautiful football.

 

[rapidCT]

In that case, no fcukin excuses if we don't win serious silverware.

Silverware or not, we are going to see some of the best football in the world.
