It's quiet... summer 2018.

[Delphinho]

Tierney is classed a foreign player.

So is Zinchenko and Danilo

 

[TonyColemansbagofapples]

So why buy another player, who is unproven in the premier league, probably for quite a fee and then have to try and unload one of the two you have mentioned who have done ok in the premier league. Zinchenko I believe is also younger

 

[Dax777]

This has nothing to do with the a
Fact that he cant attack!

We have 2 back up left backs ..

Delph defends well and cant attack

Zinchenko can attack but cant defend well ..

Im in favour of Zinchenko because he can get better at defending ..

Delph helped the team massively this season sure .. but when in the team is in possession .. hes an average player!

A more complete back up left back is needed .. someone like Danilo with a left foot!

Stick with this position. Time will make a genius out of it :)

Fred and Fabinho is a perfect signing.
City will strengthen CB, DM & CM position, while get 3rd cover for RB and LB.

CB - Otamendi, Laporte, Stones, Kompany, Fabinho
CM - KDB, Silva, Bernardo, Gundogan, Fred
DM - Dinho, Fred, Fabinho
RB - Walker, Maffeo, Fabinho
LB - Mendy, Zinchenko, Fred

How would Fabinho ever get any game time as 5th choice CB, 3rd choice DM and 3rd choice RB? So far those position for City have played about 2 games.

We would probably only get one of Fabinho and Fred. Both would be second choice after Dinho and could cover as full backs

Delph/Danilo/oz just do the simple + basic things. They do it well but they lack the dynamism that we have at every other position so I think it’s ok for people to want another LB. Personally it’s at the bottom of my list but I wouldn’t scoff if we picked one up.

Wut? We have an incredibly dynamic LB. He is injured. Our backup RB is not though. In fact he is very much like Delph/Oz/and...Danilo. We are not going to get a Mendy or Walker type player to come in and backup LB.

 

[BlueDeadHead]

My plausible dream scenario would be

In : Weigl, Isco, Mahrez
Out : Mangala, Toure, Danilo
Loan : Zinchenko
Recall: Maffeo

ST : Aguero, Gabriel Jesus
W : Sterling, Sane, B. Silva, Mahrez
CM : De Bruyne, D. Silva, Gundogan, Isco
DM : Fernandinho, Weigl
LB : Mendy, Delph
RB: Walker, Maffeo
CD: Stones, Laporte, Otamendi, Kompany
GK: Ederson, Claudio Bravo

Isco is a **** and we have Bernardo already.

 

[Thorin Oakenshield]

What has that got to do with anything? I'm saying Delph might be a more attractive prospect as a back-up left back as he is homegrown (and therefore could have another different foreign player in the squad).

I'm saying we can now include both players.

MUEN "linking" us to Rakatic at Barca.....

Cant see it myself as he is 29....not a position we need to worry about at present either but esp with a player of that age
