Of course he does.We will see. City have fast wingers now, Pep has changed the dynamics, as he does.
That's what keeps him fresh in the head and what drives the team to success.

But with us going for pace on the wings again now, we need to keep a striker in the box if Erling is or isnt there?
I can stomach 20m for the icelandic youngster. 6'1, good movement, 19 years old so there's clear upside there, if he doesn't work out he should be able to be moved for an alright amount afterwards. Young and trained by city is a premium
The guy from Celtic, 5'7, 29 years old will be 30 during the season...he's maxed out development wise. This is money we spend and it's gone. Would he perform that much better as a backup to be worth that?

My thoughts too.But with us going for pace on the wings again now, we need to keep a striker in the box if Erling is or isnt there?
I accept it. I'll back the side from the first whistle to the last like I always do.Or just accept that the right player wasn’t available for whatever reason and we decided to trust in what we have until the right player does become available.
Think we may be learning our lesson when it comes to buying players that don’t fit.
But I still find it hard to believe we couldn't find someone to fill this role adequately and at an acceptable price...JMO
I’d have preferred to see us bring in someone to take the strain from Haaland but guess it’s not an easy a deal to make when it comes to the crunch.I accept it. I'll back the side from the first whistle to the last like I always do.

Of mentioned , the Celtic lad.Who would you have liked to have seen come in, genuine question?

It's looking that way.I’d have preferred to see us bring in someone to take the strain from Haaland but guess it’s not an easy a deal to make when it comes to the crunch.
I love the way we've looked tactics-wise since the first pre-season game with all the youngsters through last weekend's game with Ipswich. Watching us revert to a false 9 system when Haaland isn't playing is going to give me gonorrhea...
