Agreed that ArseAnal have been closing the gap, but considering we were in the running for three trophies & they only had the league to go for, we still had what it took to pull clear. However, this season's been distinctly different.The games against Arsenal have been getting closer since Arteta went there. The score lines and results have largely been in our favour, of course, but the balance of play within games has been closing. The euphoria amongst our players when we won both last season was evidence that they know these games are vital.
As I said above, the work that needs to be done is considerable but only some of it can be achieved this summer. Adding Paqueta and Neves for me would be enough but only if we don't lose established players. The effect of losing Gundogan and Mahrez should make people think twice about losing Bernardo/de Bruyne/Walker. No amount of money can immediately compensate what they bring.
I'm still smarting from losing to them in the FA Cup during lockdown. That would have knocked Arteta back longer and given him less in the bank with the club/fans the year after.Agreed that ArseAnal have been closing the gap, but considering we were in the running for three trophies & they only had the league to go for, we still had what it took to pull clear.

This is why I think this will be a pivotal summer for City. Who we keep will be as important as who we target, as both are inextricably linked.
couto definitely, they been linked with him this season heavily. don't think they can afford alvarez, we would ask like 125-150m for sure and they prolly already will spend around 200m this summer, if anything it could be a swap deal, but most likely notAlvarez & Couto

A pint of what you’re drinking pleaseWe won't ask that much for Alvarez.
More like £60m

He’s 29. We could easily get 4 very good years out of him.As for Kimmich, personally I'm uncertain he could play a lone CDM in the PL, & his age is also a concern.
Player power. Mbappe saga has changed the game.I just cant believe at all in these Musiala links.
There is absolutely no way Bayern sells one of their best young players, they will likely build the team aroubd him.
Tolmie is being misled or joking.
