It's Quiet the £250m return

[better dead than red]

And we all know Pep is devoid of ideas.

Nobody ever said he was devoid of ideas. A good manager, supervisor, CEO, military officer, will listen to subordinates he/she respects and consider ideas which may differ than theirs. Sometimes the other ideas may be better or add value to the original idea.

Ugh. Go and get MGW please!

I reckon that is just shit stirring as he is a target for the rags...

Someone trying to bump up the price or just generate clicks on an account

Agree using our well known Jan interest

 

[simon23]

That should end that discussion

think it was always BS anyway...at most it was an agent trying to generate interest

 

[mosssideblue]

How credible is the source?

 

[Gabriel]

Marmoush. 16 games 7 goals 2 assist. Think he's settled.

It’s more about going through a season when you have three games per week, have faced opponents for a second time, and can deliver when asked to play in other positions, too. I have great faith in him, but I also accept that his season is going to be interrupted, and players don’t always find that rhythm again after a lengthy absence.

 

[Gaz (FMwkdsoul)]

How credible is the source?

decent if i remember right

 

[Gabriel]

are you Irish by any chance?

No, Côte d'Ivoire.

 

[bell_mcfc]

Yeah and we said no.

Fresh start there with Alonso im sure he'll be fine

 

[TonyColemansbagofapples]

You can bet your life it won't.

 

[hihosilva]

Ugh. Go and get MGW please!

If he can pass as well as our Ederson then he'll do

It’s possible but it’s not going to be smooth sailing. Of those mentioned, based on what we’ve just seen, four are dependable and the other four are fairly reliable, though there is no guarantee that we can automatically depend on them all for the length of next season. Marmoush is new to the league and will understandably take time to settle.

Even with experienced additions, many of whom might themselves be new to the country and league, it’s going to be logistically difficult to have everyone ready to go in early August, particularly if there are also new goalkeepers. I’m just being realistic. The future certainly looks promising but there’s going to be choppy waters first.

Won’t be plain sailing but
I can’t wait to see how we line up and how we play. If we win nothing next season so be it but think we’ll challenge much more than this season.
Will it take 2 / 3 years to look like a champions league or treble team winning team , maybe but that will be fun watching us develop again, @excited by the next few years.

Regarding MGW I think he’s a better player than this forum gives him credit for, BUT he’s a **** and I’d rather get Reindeer and Cherki and fuck him off

I’d happily have all 3, the speed of Cherki’s feet and flamboyant nature (from the clips I’ve seen) reminds me of a more physical Mahrez. Reijnders looks an all rounder and I agree that MGW appears to be a bit of a ****.

However, he’s a fit, pacy **** with a bit of needle in him. I sometimes feel one of the few things we miss is a bit of an aggressive fucker in the team who has a bit of cuntishness about them when it’s required. Add in his relationship with Phil and it might be a good fit for all parties.

Really excited to see the refresh of City over this summer, between players and coaches there’s a shit load going on. Will be sad to see some top top lads bow out though.

 

[foden47]

Being told ten out.

Here's my educated guesses?

Eddie
Ortega
Stones
Walker
KDB
Gundo
McAtee
Jack
One of Bernie or Kovacic
Nunes
Phillips

I have a feeling Nunes will stay because he can cover the full back position. We are going to need someone to cover for injuries.

No chance 10 first team players leave. No way.

No chance 10 first team players leave. No way.

Course there's a chance and they ain't all 1st team

 

[bell_mcfc]

No chance 10 first team players leave. No way.

Think it's entirely possible!!

 

[Gumzy97]

Fabrizio saying on his YouTube that sources at city are the ones giving him info how he got the Reijnders info and Peps new assistant. I’d think that would be Viana.

 

[Gorbachev]

No chance 10 first team players leave. No way.

KDB, Grealish, Ederson, Mcatee, Walker, Phillips, Stones. That's 7 there.

I wouldn't be surprised if Gundo and Bernardo leave as they only have 1 year left and I wouldn't be surprised to have seen Viana tell them both that if they do stay next year they won't be getting much game time.

The World Cup next year will see a lot of the older or out of favour players consider moves because for a lot of them it will be their last ever potential World Cup.

Won’t be plain saing bu I can’t wait to see how we line up and how we play. If we win nothing next season so be it but think we’ll challenge much more than this season.

Quite agree. I’ve always said that this rebuild would take time, but it’s unlikely we’ll ever settle for building another peak ‘n trough side. There will have to be more churn and more prioritising of League/Champions League, maybe even the Club World Cup, rather than spreading ourselves too thin and again falling flat in spring.

Guardiola is going to have to be brave and maybe bruise a few egos, so if that means benching Haaland, or anyone else for that matter, to change the system, then get on with it. I also expect the new coaching team to work on getting even more out of the existing players, some of whom are not developing fast enough nor showing improved fitness. Not going to be dull.
