Agreed. He looks just as good on either flank when he is on his game. He just wasn't very much late in the season coz he for burned out. We need to keep him fresh and rotated.

On Twitter? You know better than that.
Yeah I do. Do you think the agent and father got nothing? Anyway we it will come out when agent fees a reports later in the year..
Agreed he is our best CB. Too bad he has an injury history. I think we'd bring someone in if Ake goes.We just got to hope Ake doesn't leave. We say we have 4 centre backs but Stones is injury prone how much I hate to say that as in my opinion he's our best central defender.
He's going to get an injury/knock that leaves us with 2 central defenders in Laporte and Dias. Hopefully Ake stays.
Otherwise we are extremely lite in that position.
He does. When the occasion calls for it. The Aston Villa game was a good example.I don’t recall Zinchenko getting to the byline and crossing
I think we have a budget set for transfers each summer yes. We don’t have a bottomless pit of money we want to be a sustainable business.Do you really think that’s true - Feels like more Noddy accounting and oversimplification from the Athletic- honestly do you really think a club with our turnover exists in such a hand to mouth manner. I don’t and I’m surprised the Athletic expect anyone to fall for such shit stirring nonsense.
Numerous journalists (many close to city such as Blackburn, pol and gaughan) have said despite the low buy out clause the haaland deal still is a very expensive one to get done due to agent fees and payments to his family etc.
So no it wouldn’t surprise me if the majority of our budget went on signing an already established global superstar meaning now we have to sell to further invest in the squad.
Maybe I’m being simplistic but it just seems to be consistent with the messaging we are getting from many in the media
zero indication zinchenko is outI'll be honest I'm getting a bit concerned, squad was too small last season we limped over the line and went out of the FA and CL because of it. The defence was all over the place in the games against Madrid, Liverpool semi and the last few league games.
When I saw us linked with Cucurella I thought that was us bolstering our options because we'd seen that mistake being short at fullback.
Now it looks like Cucu in and Ake & Zinchenko out
We're making it smaller again up front (while improving the quality)
I get they don't want to keep players who want to leave, but you have to replace them in the same window after a certain point.
Occam’s razor my friend. The correct explanation is usually the simplest one. You’re probably right. One in one out due to Haaland impact on budget.Maybe I’m being simplistic but it just seems to be consistent with the messaging we are getting from many in the media
Still, I’d like to think otherwise and that there’s a surprise on the way.
Ederson - Ortega - Carson
Walker - Cancelo
Dias - Laporte
Stones - Ake
Cucurella - Zinchenko
Rodri - Phillips
KDB - McAtee
Silva - Gundogan
Mahrez - Palmer
Foden - Grealish
Haaland - Alvarez
Every team in the league would kill to have a squad like that. I really don’t understand the flapping from some on here.

We offered Sterling a new contract to stay and wanted Jesus to stay also so your theory doesn’t add upI think we have a budget set for transfers each summer yes. We don’t have a bottomless pit of money we want to be a sustainable business.
