I have to hold my hands up and admit that I got that wrong, I think I mixed in Delaps injury issues in my head (transfermarkt was down this morning and I couldn't double check myself). He did only play 6 EDS games & 4 CL Youth games until his injury as he was with the 1st team squad for the rest. They're doing a Foden with the lad and easing him in but I'd still have him down as a 1st team squad member.So, true then. He was out from January till early March. That's not the majority of the season is it.
Agree on CL 1 billion %.I suspect most City fans put on a brave face when they say they don't care about the CL. My Old Man, my brother, myself, my City supporting mates all care about winning it. There are two big trophies in club football, the domestic league and the European Cup; we've only won one of them. It's an issue, and will rightly be used as a stick to beat us with until we do win it. To be immortalised as a truly great team you need to win the League and CL with the same set of players. I'm sorry if that's an uncomfortable truth for some, but it's a truth nonetheless.
Keeping it on topic, it's far too late in the day for us to be losing Bernardo, much less for what would be a derisory sum. Our policy of letting unhappy players go is only finitely commendable; there are circumstances where it is folly and this is one of those circumstances. Losing Bernie drastically reduces our chances of the big silverware this season.
You don't need to tell me the source is crap and that this will almost certainly not happen, I already know that. But this is a transfer speculation forum and I'm just throwing it out there. IF Bernardo wants out and the club would accept to sell him, what are your thoughts on Verratti as a possible replacement?
With the exception of Gundogan you could hardly describe the rest of them as being got for great prices. Then again I am not a sad needy happy clapper who lacks the intelligence to question anything, just my opinion.No you didn’t but you completely slagged off City’s transfer policy, where the only real gap is left back, and the left back we were clearly after wasn’t available for a sensible price. There’s a reason we got Toure, Silva x2, KDB, Sane, Gundogan, Diaz, Rodri etc etc for great prices, it’s because we are a sensible brilliantly run club, who has won 4 out of the last 5 titles in the hardest league in the world, rather than a club who reacts to impatient,needy, knicker wetting panickers. Just my opinion

Veratti should go to United, he'd do well there
