It's Quiet 18 - Wanna ring the bell?

I'd rather we went for a right winger than a midfielder.

Mahrez misses 5 games due to AFCON this summer.
 
Phillips? stones?

If City are keeping Phillips, very likely it seems now, he has to play & be trusted, at least that has to be the idea.

Tell that to Pep, he clearly doesn’t trust him. He’s likely to be behind Kovacic as a 6 as well. I think if Phillips stay he may miss on the England Euros squad as he won’t play enough.
 
How can you have a succession plan on what ifs? Yes there’s been talk about it, but there’s also talk of him signing a new contract. Of course it’s dependant on how that pans out! You can’t buy players as contingency plans. Also, we have a very tight squad numbers game to balance. If Bernardo resigns, or even just agrees to stay an extra year, then that is fantastic news as we couldn’t possible have signed a better replacement as a contingency.

Are you saying we should have signed Maddison for eg, so we’re not caught short should Bernardo finally leave? I’d rather, we wait and see what happens with Bernardo thanks.
If/when it happens, I don’t think the club will be blindsided… they’ll know what’s going on and will have plans for it - I’m sure Bernardo will be looping the club in, with everything. We can’t just go and get a player, so that we’re covered if it happens.

Zero chance Bernie extends his contract. And the club will know that by now. If they can‘t take that hint then it’s a tad worrying.
