Zinny is still only 23,5 years younger than Tagliafico, he's won 7 domestic trophies with City, Ukrainian player of the year 2019, 33 Ukrainian senior caps as a midfielder scoring 5 goals. He works very hard at his game and a player who can fill in at the back and midfield and doesn't whinge when on the bench has a value for a club.

He crossed the line when he got his wife to bitch about the Lyon game.

Some may argue his replacement is already there in Rodri

Micah Richards made a great point , Rodri doesn't sense danger like Fernandinho. This year he has to improve that aspect of his game

Remember Rodri is still learning, Ferna was a late bloomer, he didn't have these traits till his second season under Pep when he was 32. He will be fine, it's the toughest role to play in our side, and most demanding in a Pep system. Only the finest have been able to play and become good, Rodri can't be that in a year. I think by end of this season we will see improvement, and there will likely come a time in future where he's actually able to position himself better and be defensively aware to the point he can play a lone DM like Busquets could (his closest profile).

The whole Barça team last year was rubbish to be fair. Most modern full backs aren't good at defending and you saw when the defensive burden increased Alba didn't look that great either. It can happen.

He would, just after they had all mugged him and left him for dead. Akin to him turning up just outside the penalty box with his arms in the air in disbelief 10 seconds after we’ve just conceded.

Saying that we’re all going to have to get behind him sooner rather than later, and hope for improvement. Otherwise it’s going to be a long and frustrating season

Where did this idea come from? this idea that dinho wasn't a quality cm/dm until pep? the man was brilliant under Pellegrini, won the pl in his first season here. Dinho was like plug and play, he wasn't a late bloomer in anyway!

Perhaps if Pep realises that putting a slow defensive midfielder by his side doesn't help .

No it wasn't as Prestwich blue and others have said. Do you really think the club are sitting on a pile of money that's hidden away with a big label Messi money only.

It would be a golden invitation to dispute the clubs compliance. There is/was no "separate" Messi account.

She was only saying what everyone of us was saying. He apologised she said it publicly. But what she said was fair and comes from a football-educated fan perspective. I hope our other players families are equally invested in the club doing well

This thread would have probably served us better this window if we'd stuck to household cleaning recommendations.
Not sure any of our signings were called by our resident ITKs yet lots of names hinted at that never materialised.

As an aside, I'm happy overall with the business we've done.

City season ticket holder from 2004-2013. South stand, level 2. Section 219 row G. Gave it up due to work commitments and having a young son and a daughter on the way. So turn it in. Might not have a podcast like yourself, but I love this club as much as any City fan. And I won't be bullied off here or have my loyalty questioned by the likes of you, just because I feel we won't win the league. The club have only potentially solved one issue this summer in the CB area which in my OPINION means we wont win the league. Can we win it? Possible but again in my opinion we won't.

So you keep saying, others disagreed.If we were in for him I assume the club disagreed too, if we weren't I guess they agreed with you. Maybe one day we'll find out maybe we won't.

My opinion is your scouser mate. Don't take it personally, as you say we're all entitled to our opinions and since all you are to me is a username and a series of posts, those are the only things I have to go on.

Isn't it that Messi coming in would have brought in additional sponsorships etc and therefore self-funding ?

Is it only the rags who hide their accounts away in other countries or do other clubs do it ?

Nonsense.

Dinho was one of the most sought after midfielders on the planet while playing in the Ukraine,he was superb in European competition,the problem was prying him away from his contract with Shakhtar.
He arrived here as a complete midfielder but quickly found his calling in a more defensive role,the legend has been bossing it ever since.

It was not her place to discuss pep’s tactics in the media. It was an attack on the coach. We all have opinions but she has a platform to hurt the club and her comments whether true or not shld not be disclosed in such a way.

Well you're wrong. Last time I was at Anfield was 2006/7 Bernardo Corraddi was leading the line!

Very disappointing. Given our injuries and the var factor I don't think we've done enough to win the title or CL.

After winning the CAS appeal, Khaldoon's end of season speech and chasing Messi it's a bit underwhelming. We still have a painfully slow midfield and no reliable left back and we're a bit light up front.
