I hope some questions are asked to pellegrini as regards to transfers tonight at City live.

There you go. Save your breath.

Nah, he's never used the word "constantly" before. He will say "always"."We are constantly looking to strengthen the squad and if the right players become available we will try to sign them".

You're right. It would be "always". And he would look at the next questioner and nod his head as he finished.

Haha I edited my post to say he'd say always, just before you replied. It's genuinely possible to predict 90% of his answers word for word. Should sack off his press conferences and just leave a board in the media room saying "please refer to the last interview for quotes"You're right. It would be "always". And he would look at the next questioner and nod his head as he finished.

Simon Mullock said recently after media press conferences he's very open especially for the Sunday media guys as they get to interview him off camera.

I think it depends on Yaya. As I see it his problem is not defending, he was a great defensive midfielder, and a very good CB at times for Barca too - his problem is going forwards, and then getting back in time. Last year, when our attacks became pedestrian we all looked to Yaya to provide the spark, and when he got forward, he was not able to get back in time.
I see the club making attacking purchases as a sign that Yaya will be much more conservative in attack. We're taking the burden of attack away from him, and that means he'll be staying in position beside Fernandinho, ready to do his defensive work when called upon. With a front 4 of De Bruyne, Silva, Sterling and Aguero, we don't need his extra contributions in the attacking third anyway. He can sit back, control the tempo of the game in what I suppose people would call the "pirlo" role these days.
I also think he'll play a lot less. He's too old to be playing the sheer amount of minutes he has done recently. He's 32, lets treat him like it. Some people on here are acting like he's undroppable and will play 90 minutes for 60 games this season.
Maybe we can push Kompany back up to DM and get Yaya in at CB now he's slowing down, he can still take the free kicks
