i need to but Galatasaray shirt then

what would be price combined? 30-40mil?

Gundo free
Akanji 5-10mil
Ederson 20-30mil ? he has one year left, so won't be anything big

Akanji is only 29. Could be a good fit for Atletico or Inter who plays 3atb. Reckon those two would pay far more than Galatasaray. Could probably do a job at Spurs, Newcastle, Villa etc

No, it doesn't mean indeed, but it's anyone's guess what the other ways could be. How could we know that some fans were right that Pep could have achieved the same or even more benching G and B? What's their record to think their opinions have some weight?

The fact that Pep's way wasn't the only possible way doesn't mean that another manager could have done better with younger squad players.

Playing younger players might have worked, but the risk that we might have missed on CL football playing them over G and B was big. Pep succeeded, he was right. Anything else is presenting hypothetical scenarios as likely outcomes based on little more than amateurish understanding of the game.

I'm not sure it's necessary to persist with a patronising & dismissive tone, when your logic is as flawed & seemingly just outcome based. If Pep had played younger players and succeeded, Pep would also have been right or would he have been wrong as the risk was big? Considering the way the older heads played in the first half of the season, the risk of playing them was great, yes? We lost the FA Cup final, Pep failed, was Pep wrong? No, no he wasn't as we did more than enough to win. The result is an empty thing and is multifaceted.

As I stated, the way we did succeed doesn't mean it was the only way it could have happened. Yes it's hypothetical, but I have more than enough belief in the skillset of Pep Guardiola to belive he could have gone about the season differently & succeeded. Pep himself said that he should have played Nico, McAtee etc earlier in the season and who are we to disagree with Pep

he maybe but to a buying club they will look at the record for a keeper that age and the fact he's in the last season of his contract factor in his wages the price of the fee will have to be smaller

You really are a fukin know it all ain't you. Just like a bloody parrot sitting on some weirdos shoulder chirping in all the time.

We squeezed results somehow to the end but we certainly weren't playing title chasing form. We were VERY lucky in many games right to the end. Cannon fodder teams coming out feeling hard done by with countless hitting the posts etc as we squeezed results out of our arsed. The shambles of cup final highlighted that more than ever. Complete Pep fuk up that I saw it with my own eyes following 48 years of watching City. Is that OK with you parrot?

Pep did very well given the circumstances. This line that he was lucky to win the points he won is pathetic. You are free to dislike Pep or his decisions as much as you like, but the truth is he won the most points in the 2nd half of the season with a squad ravaged by injuries. Doesn't suit the agenda of some people on here, I know, but why let facts get in the way? Let's moan how bad Pep and the players were.

Think what you like, though I am self aware enough to know after 55 years of watching City I don't know more than Pep Guardiola or even a fraction of what he knows about coaching and building title winning teams.

I will certainly think what I want thanks.
If Pep can swing a 13 point gap from last season will be one of his biggest successes yet. He is on the spot now - have a run like last season again it will be goodnight Vienna parrot. Playing gundog etc week in week out we will win FA again

What's flawed in my logic?

O'Really showed in cup games he could help and Pep played him in the league. McAtee had some good moments but not enough to merit more starts.

"IF Pep had done this and IF he was successful, then your logic would be flawed" is a terrible argument. It's pretty clear why Pep played the old guard. And the results showed he was right to do so. Again, 40 pts from 19 games is a great return given the circumstances.

exactly he did what we needed to do to get champions league i understand the frustration for the al hial game,but to moan about the end of last season just seen confusing to me apart from the fa cup final which i think he put a team out good enough to win apart from nunes not playing
