General transfer rumours

Why?

We kept the second most clean sheets last season and had the 4th best defence in terms of goals conceded - 6 worse than the best, Spurs.

This is with a manager who used the full backs as wingers and who's defensive midfielder was Yaya Toure.

If we had the exact same defenders as last year I'd be confident that under Guardiola we'd concede fewest goals in the league.

Our problem last year was not goals conceded (which remained fairly the same over Pellegrini's reign) but goals scored where we fell from 102, to 81 to 70.

Hope you watched the arsenal game and if you did good luck sleeping because I will still be having nightmares about our defenders

Said Bony was "a nice guy" but didn't travel because there were 3 strikers ahead of him and it's better to stay in manchester and train.

He wouldn't confirm whether Mangala and Bony were set to go but his response suggested they very well may do.

Guardiola says Sterling played on the right tonight and against St Johnstone because he was "curious" to see him attack the byline.

Spoke to Zabaleta earlier. Confirmed Pep asked him to stay (http://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/guardiola-pablo-zabaleta-city-stay-11684079…) and says he's delighted to be doing so.

When he said last season's CB I'm sure he's referring to Otamendi and Mangala at the very least, and not Kolarov and Fernando.

And when I say defenders I mean anyone playing in defence

I had my hopes raised as well lol

Don't blame them.

Good to hear Pep's comments on Bony.

Bit shocked that we are giving up on Mangala after 2 years.

If we were truly after Pep for 3 years then the preperation in terms of squad building has been shocking.

Bony's aiming is that bad, he couldn't kill one bird with two stones
