I don't know you Jay_mcfc but your point marks you out as presumptuous and rude.

I am 52, born in Moss Side and have been a City fan from then, as are all my family. I am a fan of Leroy, I made that clear, but I believe, having watched Ferran since he was 17, that he has equal, if not superior, potential. That you disagree does not give you the right to lower yourself to 'fan-boy' criticisms, you just have a different opinion.

He hasn't, but we'll agree to disagree.

The current squad is now good enough to win the title as long as we can have a fit striker for the remainder of the season

keeping players fit is going to be impossible ? i said yesterday that city and the players have 21 games and 6 international games before christmas ? that's about 11 weeks to play 27 games ?

this is asking to much of the players and we are wondering why teams are getting battered in shock defeats
maybe the FA and the premier league need to review its plans and keep the transfer window open all season

city have not a great squad anymore and we are short up front and need a striker, also a left back and attacking midfield player, losing david silva should have not been a big issue, but its shows why phil foden was not ready to take his shirt, little david silva was more to this team than we all thought he was ? when things got tight he would just take control and hold the ball and work his magic

I can’t see why people are saying we’ve not bought a left back. It’s obvious from Ake’s interview that he’ll be playing there a lot. I recon pep will end up coaching him up to make lb his main position. He’s sold, technical, a good defender and fast. Everything everyone on here is saying we need in a lb. We have mendy or Cancelo if we want to play someone who bombs forward, probably against weaker teams. Striker has been our main issue but you don’t just sign someone for 3 weeks. What happens in a few weeks when Jesus and Aguero are fit? We all love a signing but unless a superstar is available it’d be crazy to just sign someone for the sake of it. That’s what United do and are doing today by the looks of it. At full strength, I’m very happy with our squad. Diaz, Ake and Torres are great signings imo

Spot on - my feelings exactly

I really hope that we do not bring anyone else in unless they are either a) someone of great potential (and therefore young) or someone world class right now

It's impossible for every team tpo keep a team fit, we have a better and deeper squad than everybody else. Write down our 21 and compare it to any other teams 21 we'll be stronger.

For the price we paid he is a very good buy, I'm not disputing that or his quality.

My last few posts are based on this as a transfer window rather than our squad as such. We have lost big players over the last few years which has seen us fall from being comfortably the best in the league to being 20 points behind first. Replacing Kompany, Silva and Sane with Diaz, Torres and Ake is a gamble that may not pay off. And I like all 3 players btw.

Yeah let’s see where we finish this season and next.

Pep seemed to say however that Ake was primarily bought for centre half as I to thought that Ake would play more leftback - hopefully he will as defensively he is way better than Mendy

besides no left back worth mentioning as a defender and currently our defensive midfielders being either Ferna (who for me is still the best option) or the immobile Rodri (who does have his qualities but cant do it on his own) or Gundogan who for me personally is a waste of space in that role and leaves us hugely over exposed)
