It's Quiet 18 - Wanna ring the bell?

Can’t say I’m too clued up about Costa but on the very few occasions I’ve seen him he’s been a bit of a disaster

Awful goalkeeper in my opinion

I'd seriously ask about Kelleher.

Imagine a prime Fernandinho, what a player he was.

Incredible player world class always was and if we had peak Fernandinho now this season even in Rodri's absence, then we'd still be challenging and maybe even top that's how much of an impact he'd have even on this team.

A truly great player he was and I never thought we'd have anyone nearly as good to replace him but we're blessed, we found Rodri but I'd kill for both Fernandinho at his peak and a fit Rodri in the very same team it wouldn't be too defensive either.

Those two alone playing every week would help any team even a mid to lower end Prem team challenge if not win things, we've been truly blessed to have amazing protection from both Fernandinho and Rodri as world class defensive midfielders, both probably at times could've played as box to box attacking midfielders very effectively if asked in the absence of others.

When we lose Rodri unless we find another great of their generation we'll realise just how fortunate we've been with the massive drop off in quality, same with Walker he's clearly past it now but after having both him and Zabaleta it's possibly going to be another massive drop off there too.

The only thing that might cushion the blow at right back is the reality of Walker's incredible sudden decline, we sadly should've been more prepared for this eventually though at his age as time waits for no man.

Agreed mate. I fully understand not buying for buying sake but there LOADS of players out there who are attainable and would be hungry to come to City and play for Pep.

But are they good enough is the question ?

Skriniar available for 29 million in January apparently, how's he been at PSG?

I feel like we need someone a bit more athletic. I feel as though we would be able to play as the CCB but not so good in the wide zones.

I wouldn’t take him even if he were free. We were linked to him when he was at Milan, and I remember panicking at the thought of us targeting him.
