If the rot continues what happens ?

We have a goalkeeper who cant save much, world class distribution though. Great when things are going well, exposed when things get tuff. Time feels right for a change imo, so GK needed next summer (wont get 1 in Jan). Unless we give Ortega a go

Walkers finished and Rico’s never a right back. So need 1 right back at least…

We have no left backs. Gvardiol did ok but has been awful of late. Ake can fill in if fit, but feel we need someone who’s a legitimate LB, so 1 LB required at least

We have good numbers at Centre half, especially if Gvardiol moves across. However several are injury prone. Probably get away with no signings here but Stones/Ake a worry…

No back up DM is ludicrous (Kovacic was never a DM and Gundogan’s legs have gone). This needs addressing urgently. So 1 signing here.

CM its clear Nunes is not good enough long term. So 1 required there with Kova staying.

AM, KDB’s time is up. Tuff to say out loud but time waits for no man. Silva similar for me. Might be the right time for him to move along aswell.

Wingers, Grealish/Silva/Doku/Savinho have delivered very little. Doku/Savinho have promised but we need at least 1 winger who is a established goal threat. Need to take the pressure off Haaland and have another threat. Grealish and Silva possibly to move on over the next few transfer windows. Hoping Bobb comes back with a determination to make up for lost time…

Attacker, Haaland is fine. Probably frustrated but obviously we keep him if we can. Letting Alvarez go with no replacement has to be one of the strangest decisions in a long time (compare Liverpools options upfront to ours, laughable). So we need a back up to Haaland asap. If he goes down with an injury, its curtains…

So in summary, GK, RB, LB, DM, CM, AM, Winger and a back up striker required. Poor for us to let it get to this stage. Can only presume Txixi took his eye off the ball with his impending retirement… not gonna be a quick fix!!

Straight talking assessment. No time for sentiment now either with a few players.
 
You know this is also a boring thread

rot??

we are having a bad season, well, we aren't really compared to proper bad seasons, lets be honest some here sound like right mard cunts.


I remember now why at one point I stopped reading the main forum years ago and stayed in the cellar, no **** up here is ever happy
*even the happy clappers ;-)

Can’t argue with any of this.

Rico isn't a problem, he is technically gifted, and can defend.

the problem is baldy keep trying to turn him into philip lahm, great when we have all our defence and rodri, utter madness in our present situation.

Pep is ruining lewis potential with overload as much as mcatees with indiference.

I await those who don't accept criticism of Pep to hammer me for this

You really don’t think Rico Lewis can defend. Have you seen the goals we concede when he plays full back. He has no positional awareness and we’ve conceded quite a few goals this season where he just leaves someone stood behind him. Happened the other night, wolves away. Brighton? It certainly happens to often.

Haaland it will , his agent did an interview and said his release clause drops dramatically if we are not in the champions league. Since he wants to play in that competition above everything else.

If he doesn’t want to be here to be working hard to get back into the CL, then we sell him and buy someone else and move on as a club like we always do.

We’ve had Gillespie, Johnson, Browell, Herd, Hayes, Young, Lee, Francis, Quinn, Anelka, Tevez, Agüero, Džeko… play for City before Haaland and we’ll have many great strikers after Haaland leaves.

Just shows you never can tell. When I read the original post I thought this thread would struggle to page 2 max lol.

To quote that great philosopher Gordon Ramsay, “fuck me!” SMH.
