We haven't replaced Kompany. It's almost unforgiveable that Kompany retired in 2019 and we still haven't replaced him especially given that at the end of last season the young player who was in line to take the right sided defensive role announced that he wanted to play for Barcelona.

Jesus not capable for last two years, really?I don’t understand how the club decided to not sign a striker when our number 1 is potentially out until mid to late November. Absolutely crazy to rely on Jesus to fill a role which he has been incapable of doing so for the past two years. I can’t see this Jesus being born again as a competent finisher, so the recent news is extremely concerning.
Why we haven’t signed a RCB is another mystery. We needed one last year and we still haven’t got one. Another season of Otamendi and Stones. Can’t wait to see fucking Traore bully one of them again.

100%.
I’m sure they will get a right Centre back in but if they don’t get a top goal scorer in then unpopular opinion but we can forget the league and could struggle for 2nd place. No doubt get lots of shit for saying that but anyone who thinks it’s OTT come back at the end of the season.
This had to be a big summer with 2-3 players who go straight in and make the difference. Ake is top cover and improves the squad, Torres has lots of potential. But if the right Centre back is all we do to immediately improve the first 11 then it’s been a disaster of a transfer window for the 2nd summer running.
Ake is more than cover
He was captain at Bournmouth - he is a leader
Pep has said he will use him potentially in 2 positions (the other being left back)
Ake himself has said he has been working with city coaching staff on 3 positions - the other being defensive midfield.
I think we may see more of him than you realise and for me that is a good thing - he is a very good defender and may even push Laporte for a starting spot at centre half.
He brings possibilities in that he can playa. variety of positions.
Torres replaces Sane who didnt pay all last season and didnt want to be here - that is an automatic improvement!
That's true but I don't see why we should take such risks with a fundamental position on the pitch. You can get by with a dodgy left back but if you're playing Fernandinho as centreback you will lose a lot of games.Look at how fast Spurs hve just done those last two deals - they were barely in the media really and then suddenly they had them done.......
We have 2 weeks left so there is plenty of time......
Lots of the background work will be done already even on the plan B's - we are just waiting to see if we can get the Plan A's done - and if not I tihnk we will then see the club move very fast to secure the plan B's
e.g Koulibaly is probably the plan A but we have been linked with various other centre halves as well - if we decide not t deal with ADL and his meglomaniac ways then we will move quickly for plan B - the work for which will have already been done.

Would rather we wait for the right person than hastily buy the wrong one. Ever thought the club might be thinking similar?We haven't replaced Kompany. It's almost unforgiveable that Kompany retired in 2019 and we still haven't replaced him especially given that at the end of last season the young player who was in line to take the right sided defensive role announced that he wanted to play for Barcelona.
we had our day in court everyone was predicting a big summer of recruitment and a £200 million pound war chest and we’ve what spent £61 million on the eve of the season on a premier league proven defender and a exciting winger/ forward who could be anything.
Even without those 2 signings this starting 11 for wolves will prob feature 9 of the team that pumped Liverpool 4-0 two months ago.
we had a dreadful season last year that’s why they won the league at a canter not because they were amazing!!
Leeds carved them open last weekend at Will.
no fans will hurt them also.
it’s a 2 horse race still.
let’s not shit our knickers just yet boys and girls.
UP ZE CITY
