Anyone who thinks Joao Cancelo isn't a top quality football player is talking shite.

Alvarez is a gamble. If he comes good it's a bonus.
Mahrez 31 and flaky.
Sterling patchy form for 2 years.
Grealish will never be a productive front 3 player and we will only see the best of him as an 8.
Our front 3 options are a weakness compared to the opposition imo.
People see weaknesses where they want. Personally I think Sterling and Mahrez have more than proved their quality over and over again with goals and titles. In terms of “the opposition” the only team in England close to us are Liverpool. As I said earlier I prefer the depth of quality In our squad.
Honestly and this isn’t a dig at you, if I hadn’t come on Bluemoon yesterday I would never have known so many people think our attack, even with Haaland, is a weakness.

No , but then I don't have a list of when liverpool only scored 1 or none, well apart from the 2 cup finals. Did they struggle for goals when they dropped points against brentford and Brighton ?Do you have the comparison including all competitions played? I’d be curious to see. If you take a sequence of three UCL games for instance (Sporting home and both Atletico games), we only scored one goal. We went out of the Carabao Cup after scoring zero as well. It’s not like we never lacked goals

But it's about the team not individuals, and we didn't go out of the c/l for lack of goals it was a case of missing defenders especilally the first game and not seeing the 2 games out. Not saying having a centre forward won't improve some games and situations ,it will.As a team we do. I'm talking about the front 3, specifically the wide players. It's a weakness and being clinical in those front 3 positions will make the difference in one off games in the champuons league.

Only weaknesses have been finishing chances (hello Haaland) and variety (hello Haaland)...but that's coming from a position of scoring more than any team in the league and the hunt for perfection

So he's essentially a Ronaldinho regen. Same skillset, position and moves - right-footed playmaker with a powerful shot playing on the left side. Requires an overlapping LB (Van Bronckhorst/Cucurella), mobile CF (Eto'o/Haaland) and quick RW (Guily/Sterling)

I always wonder if fans of other teams look at City and think we're as bad as people on here seem to believe we are?
Someone called it on the 'points to win the title' thread, when they said, the only people that don't think City will win the title are City fans.

He'll never be Ronaldinho. No shame in that but the comparison won't do him any favours. Will probably have more longevity in him though.

Ronaldinho is a unique character. At his peak, the ultimate magicianHe'll never be Ronaldinho. No shame in that but the comparison won't do him any favours. Will probably have more longevity in him though.
