Sure we got one or two in the academy that can step up silver lining and all that.

It was obvious our squad was far too small at start of season, it could well be very costly but I’m sure I told you so type post are unwanted. Let’s hope the youngsters can impress and we can invest heavily on the right players in January before too much damage has been inflicted on our season

Balotelli is available on a free, I’d take him into the squad tomorrow if he can be registered

Probably a good loss given the circumstances. I thought the young centre half looked decent. Stones as reserve centre forward maybe?

This competition won’t exist in a few years. It’s a complete waste of time, the poor man’s FA Cup. Sorry I know you all love it for some reason ;-)

Might also be time to move to 18 teams in the PL like most of Europe.

Hope we win 115 because we need a big transfer window next Summer.

Agree but not sure we can wait to summer

Me too but only because I love the bloke

Separate thread? Behave. Every team / squad has injuries; we’re no different.
Not one team in the Prem wouldn’t swap their starting eleven with us this weekend. Not one. So quit the hyperbolic, woe-is-us fanny/wiping.

Kin’ell, lad.

Haaland would/will want to play every minute that he is fit. So whomever we signed to play understudy would have to be content with sitting on the bench most of the time, until such time as Haaland picked up an injury. They would get the odd game here and there, but with the squad we started off with, they wouldn’t have a clear path to substantial minutes.

So, again, who could we have signed to take on that role?

I normally like reading your posts, but you are just being argumentative for the sake of it now. I knew you would be.

No top team goes into the busiest season ever with one striker.

Haaland will not want to play every game for City and Norway. Haaland will need a rest and a break from playing football at some point this season, like every player does. ‘You’ can’t expect Haaland to play every game this season for City and Norway, more so for City. He isn’t a robot.

City have Txiki and a massive scouting network. They could have tracked and signed a forward from the PL, from Europe, or from the world. I don’t get paid by City to do that work and to make those decisions.

It's a discussion forum. Having 8 first-team players out is worthy of discussion.

Not sure why people are focusing on our decision to not replace Alvarez when our big issue at the moment is having all 4 of our wingers out injured
