Houssem Aouar

What a shameful statement to make. I really doubt that you are a true City fan if it would be a dream summer if two City players who have given good service to the club both on and off the field were the leave at the end of the season.
I sometimes wonder what has happened to our fan base since we became rich and successful.
Over the years (40+) an element of the fans have picked on a particular player at every opportunity and it’s part of the club‘s fan base I hate.
I don't really agree with this. Obviously you want to do it in a respectful way, but a certain amount of player turnover is healthy. If there's a criticism of our team building post takeover I think it's that we've been way too reluctant to sell players at times. Top clubs move people on all the time to bring in fresh faces.
 
Doubt it. As I pointed out elsewhere, Juventus were linked with him earlier in the year but that seemed to be the normal chatter and quickly died down. Indeed, I’ve long felt that we’ve had an agreement with Lyon for Aouar, perhaps going back a season, and if he weren’t still in the Champions League, his signing would have already been announced. Let’s see what next week brings.
Hope your right mate
 
I really, really want Aouar. He is a fantastic young talent. He is only 22 and he is one player i think we can get for a very reasonable price.

One game that sticks out in my mind is when England U21's played France U21's in the Euro Champonships. Aouar and Foden both stood out on the pitch and were both absolutely fantastic. Aouar running things for France and Foden pulling the strings for England. To see both players in the same side most weeks would be an absolute treat to watch.

Even when City played Lyon in the CL a few seasons ago, there was a lot of hype around N'Dombele, but Aouar was the one that really stood out for me. Although talented, N'Dombele has a very unganely style about him, looks like he is going to fall over half the time when turning with the ball under pressure. Aouar's technical elegance and simplicity of the game was something that really caught my eye. He would slot into our side perfectly, lovely control of the ball, another player who can get out of trouble with 3-4 players around him, has a very good work ethic as well.

Pep talked him up after the game and said how exceptional he was. Aouar responded by saying that he was flattered with the comments and would welcome playing under Guardiola.

Some people are simply less sentimental than others.

I certainly won't be glad to see the back of Zinchenko for selfish reasons. I love the bloke for the personality he brings and would rather see him stay as a backup but I think his talents would be going to waste and I wouldn't want to see him sat on the sidelines for 90% of the season.

But I'll be doing cartwheels in the garden when Otamendi leaves.

Your spot on

When watching that game against Lyon I was interested in Ndombele but was immediately struck by Aouar who really stood out
