I know of a lot of people who have canceled, watching sport with no fans is not good.
People simply won't have the money to keep paying for it, once this pandemic ends the payback in terms of tax increases etc will be huge.
Serie A have started bringing fans in, Roma fans in the Juve , Roma game last night
It's like watching a pre season or training game, it's not good, not good box office.to be honest ive hardly watched the games myself,ive tried but cant get into it, i only watch the city games, wish i hadn't yesterday :)
The players and staff must hate it, simply no emotion on that pitch.
Grimaldo from Benfica anyone hes a good all round LB 25 years of age to
He's another sick note that's spent most of his career struggling with injury. Not what we need after Mendy.
We need a team that can defend from front to backWe need a defender that can defend first and foremost.
Look at every Pep team in past and how important his full backs were in his successes, we've not had anyone of that level at our club and that's a shame, because we would be even more dominant if it was the case, it's a role that is extremely important for our system, adds a whole new attacking and defending dimension. Sorting out good full backs will help us a lot against sides that sit back. Yesterday was a great example of us passing sideways because there wasn't really a pass on through the middle or to the wing. Just free full backs, if Leicester did that against Liverpool, their full backs would have feasted on them.We have plenty of players that can attack though, we could do with a few more who can defend properly, even if they don't offer much else. Stop the cross or win the ball, then give it to someone who can actually play. That's how I play anyway!
This injury is dragging on which is a worry. Will he be the old Aguero when he returns? There’s at least the potential of this becoming an issue and he isn’t getting any younger. Obviously we all hope he comes back, regains full fitness, and returns to his best form. I’m pointing towards the possibility that this won’t happen, and if this is the case we have only one experienced back up option. It reminds me of when City fans were pointing out the danger of Laporte getting injured at the start of last season and sure enough the worse happened and fucked up the season. We saw yesterday that Sterling isn’t up to the job and Delap isn’t ready.It's truly amazing how Aguero is all of a sudden considered to be fading, is it because he's not scored while out injured?

He will be 34 , coming to a new league, considerably more physical and more demanding.
Messi is without doubt the worlds best player but he is not superman, age stops for no one.
We don't want to become Messi FC and we would if he arrived, the Pep situation is also a major factor. At this moment it does not look good that Pep would want to extend or for that matter the club would want to either. Pep does not look in a good way at this time, his time with us may be coming to the end, that may change, but at this moment we have far more serious issues to attend to than thinking about signing a 34yr old in 12 months time.
Forget football. You need to decide what you are talking about here because if it's marketability you are absolutely and, without a shadow of a doubt, wrong.
Leave it to City to know if sponsors are interested in Messi or not. Clue...they would be queuing up if he had one leg.

What's the deal with Douglas Luiz?
I'd like us to bring him back now rather than wait. He'd provide us with that energy and bite we're lacking in midfield.

We need a new proper lb to compete with Mendy. 2 players for each position. Zin out and it will happen before the window shuts. Mendy wld not of played yesterday and we wld not of got beaten it is the same with Garcia. The only thing the club needed to do was get the players in faster than we have. Hopefully it settles down and we go on a run of wins. 3 wins before Liverpool needed.

No closer to a Vaccine either , clubs are going to be hit badly money wise. especially in the lower leagues
I don't want a 34 yr old coming for money and Pep and NOT our club.Forget football. You need to decide what you are talking about here because if it's marketability you are absolutely and, without a shadow of a doubt, wrong.

If Pep was not our manager there is zero chance Messi would consider us, why don't you get that?
We have far more serious issues in our squad and management to sort out before dreaming.
2017 we nearly got him, that WAS the time a 30 yr old Messi still hungry with a hungry Pep would have been incredible, but not now.
But he is actually good, experienced and cheap, won't take time to adapt, isn't injury prone either. Exactly the profile we need to address a long standing issue.
Others have written he is slow as well?
At 28, he won't be gaining speed as well.
Unless he is a athlete like walker

I wonder, if Mendy is as bad as people say, if Zin should be the number 2

Some players develop late in their careers , look at Zabba, Andy Hill etc the dude has got to be better than we currently have.But he is actually good, experienced and cheap, won't take time to adapt, isn't injury prone either. Exactly the profile we need to address a long standing issue.

We don't want distractions and I fear Messi would be, he should see out his career with Barca, that's his club, their icon, don't let him spoil that legacy .I hate to admit it, but your post makes a lot of sense. Even so, we're talking Messi. I am still inclined to believe he's the exception.

Hes not slow , i thought he was but looking at what Ajax fans say hes medium pace. dosent rely on speed relies on his brain and technical ability hes also very aggressive when trying to win the ball back.
