It's Quiet 16 - Txiki grinders

[leo_city]

speaking of, there seemed to be a reason behind it -



dias hasn't won enough aerial duals this season, and pep thought stones and laporte were more equipped for that job vs lukaku and chelsea's playstyle, which proved a great decision as they both won 100% of their aerial duals.

Not just that, it was also to counter Chelsea's press (as one would have expected them to have a go lol) and there's no better centre back pairing equipped to beat the press and break the lines. Dias is a more traditional choice but he cannot help us much in the build up.

Hope so.

2025, the 'he will never be a leftback' debate still rages on.

Yep, it's true. Zin is signing a new deal :)

what????!???

Yep, it's true. Zin is signing a new deal :)

City to the core that lad, always there when needed, can play in multiple positions, works hard, keeps his head down. A real favourite in our house so confirmation of this is good news.

what????!???

Zin staying we will have Cancelo and acke to fill in at left back.

Good news. Never moans, gets on with it and is reliable when needed.

Pep might have a new role for Zin:

false lb +no6\no8 = bald genius move ;)

From what I have read in the USA and seen on different websites I think City are targeting 3 this Summer, Haaland, Rice and Theo Hernandes ..... adding them 3 would boil some serious piss this Summer.

Declan Rice is going to United. Addidas pulling all the strings on that one. He's going to do very well financially from the deal.

I've heard nothing about Theo Hernandes, but the signing would make sense. Haaland is most likely to join us (I reckon we'll hear more in the next few months - probably March when there's another big announcement), but you never know with Madrid/PSG sniffing around.

I'm by no means against Zinchenko signing a new deal but I hope it doesn't mean we won't target a left back

I hope it does. what about cancelo's performances at left back makes you think we need another left back?

I hope if anything we get a backup RB (porro back from loan?) and play walker-backup rb on the right and cancelo-zinchenko on the left.

He deserves it.

We don't need a world class player in every position. When Walker eventually does move on, I can see Cancelo moving over to RB and us looking for a new LB(cough*Cucurella*cough) but for now he's a perfectly competent backup.
