It's Quiet the £250m return

That's totally fair. I just think 23-29 year old Savinho, if he's here, does.

I wouldnt give up Doue, Barcola or Guler if we had them and I wouldn't give up Savinho either.

That is a Ballon D'Or contender in the making, if we can just work on the shooting.

Pep did help Foden when he went thru a lean period but he always had goals in him. We’ll see what happens but I trust the club.

He won't shoot 2% again, that's almost statistically guaranteed.

He scored 9 goals in la liga in one year.

Even last season he had 52% shot accuracy. To score only 4% of those is almost unrepeatable.

Simply way more than 1 in 41 shots usually goes in, via deflection, keeper error whatever.

99th percentile for dribbling, key passes and assisting (that's pretty good)

Some of Adama Traore’s stats are amazing, apart from his ability to put the ball in the net.

I've no idea WTF is going on, but Savinho to Spuds, then Rodrygo to City, then Donarumma to City & Ederson to Galatasary.

Now there are reports emerging City have rejected Forest's latest £25m plus add-ons offer for McAtee & NOW City have rejected a £25m plus add-ons offer also from Forest, for RICO LEWIS!

Yet, our ageing, injury-prone players remain. Why sell our future for peanuts, & cling on to our past?

This shortermism from City is a direct result of us not starting our squad rebuild right after the treble. We're now paying the price, by selling off our future.

My head's well & truly fuckin blown!

Kovacic stays yet Savinho goes.. I still can't get my head around that one but I'm managing to keep it!

Probably time to sell Cherki. A paltry one goal and one assist in 5 games is, let’s not beat about the bush, disappointing. Why even bother with a first season?…

If anyone says it's time to sell Erling.. I'd like to know their drug dealers name.. must be selling some good stuff!

No chance this is true imo, unless he had another homegrown right-back lined up. And I doubt we have, given Newcastle’s unwillingness to sell Livramemto.

I’d like to see where this goes. Likelihood is it gets shut down by a City source in the next 2 days. No smoke without fire though.

You cant sell a player that doesn't want to leave and happy to let their contract run down, or a player we dont received a bid for , shouldn't hurt your head too much

Considering how highly Pep seems to rate Lewis there’s very little chance this happens. In any event Rico doesn’t even take a squad place.

You just let them go on a free and subsidise the wages, after letting them know they won't see hardly any minutes.

Its been done thousands of times.

How much choice did Grealish get to stay?

We have 2 right backs and he’s one of them, what makes them think we’d accept the same fee (or even entertain it) as we did for McAtee - a player who is in a position of players we’re stacked in?!

Was wondering how long it’d take for somebody to come and ask for Rico, though.

I wondered whether others saw him as a player suited to our system so not appealing to other sides.

That’s why they bid 25 instead of let’s say 40. probably one of the first out after the Pep era

This just stinks of short-termism. The reports over the last few days are making less & less sense to me.

I wanted to see three things before I assessed the season ahead.

1. Who lined up against Palermo.
2. Our formation & tactics.
3. Who was trimmed from the squad.

If Palermo was a precursor to the season, then it's the same formation & tactics for the season ahead.

The second half team bore a striking resemblance to the ageing players who Pep trusts, with the exception of Reijnders.

I'll wait until the first international break to make my final assessment of the season ahead, but I'm not liking the prospect of the formation & tactics which were cruelly exposed last season, & again against Al Hilal.

I'm also concerned about our line-up considering the old guard have refused to leave. Pep's continued to play them, & there all sorts of speculation about our younger squad members either being loaned out or fuckin sold!

What the actual fuck is going on?
