I can't see that happening at all based on one good game,we are better without him and who would we drop out

I think Kelechi is eligible for the CL B list in January so that would free up a slot.

We need legs and work rate against the top teams, I would only see him as an impact sub.

Can't see it myself either, unless Kompany's injury problems persist.

Presumably Gabriel Jesus will take that slot?

 

[typicalcity...]

Navas' spot possibly? Only one I can see leaving in January to go back to Sevilla for Gabriel Jesus arrival.

Depends exactly when GJ will be judged ready to get involved after his break following the end of the Brazilian season, maybe Pep would just keep him for the PL where he wouldn't take up a squad place being U-21.

Has anyone checked our CL record when Toure starts. It's piss poor, better off as an impact player in the Prem.

He won't be going until the summer when his contract runs out,big risk to let him go in jan on the off chance jesus settles in straight away

Don't think Navas will leave until the summer, but if we were to include Toure in the CL squad then I think Navas or Sane would be most at risk, barring injury elsewhere.

Can't see Sané being dropped at his age, would shatter his confidence.

 

[Tevez City]

Yaya is addition to any team in the world.

 

[Eccles Blue]

In my humble opinion that would be a step too far. Seluk would have a field day at City's expense & it would undo all the work that has been done in controlling egos!! (Not necessarily Toure's ego but definitely Seluk)

 

[jaiguruKun]

If he's playing well if/when the squad is picked for the knockout stages then why not?

 

[citytill1die84]

Defo worth it as an impact player if we need a goal Yaya not afraid to shoot.

 

[SWP's back]

One would think Jesus would take that.

Edit. Ric beat me to it.

 

[Mr Partridge]

I'm struggling to remember the last time he made a big contribution in the CL for us, if he ever really has. I don't think for one second he would have got two goals and put in the performance that Gundogan did against Barca.

Yaya is more suited to the tricky PL away games like Saturday.

 

[SWP's back]

Yaya is addition to any team in the world.

Erm. Nevermind.

What was Pep supposed to say?

"He's returned to the team on my terms and scored twice. But I can tell you now that he will not be in the CL squad when it is announced in January"
