David Squires on … Cristiano loyalty, Daniel Levy and transfer silly season

Our resident cartoonist on the thrill of transfer deadline day, PSG (the absolute LADS) and Michy Batshuayi in a cape

www.theguardian.com

Squires nails it again.

The cheek of his statement and the 'PS' to red nose was laughable given the common knowledge of him asking Mendes to sort out a move to here

No Mbappe in the second leg either

Thought Walker looked a bit bored.

No Mbappe in the second leg either

You mean that Mbappe that didn't touch the ball in the 1st? Lol

The opportunity has gone because Nuno Mendes hasn't begged City to take him

To avoid disappointment, I’ll wait until he crawls across a glass-strewn Asda car park with a City flag up his arse.

It was a battle against them last season at home, our defence had the best game they had in the champions league. But PSG were constantly attacking. Add Messi , Hakimi , Mendes to that it’s going to be a difficult/close game.

We beat them 4-1 and it could have been 7/8 By the end
They are a good team, but so are others
Don’t underestimate how good we are

 

[Great Kompany]

I think we are finally broke.

Damn these electric cars!

Can be stop blaming new posters for everything? Plenty of posters of all lengths of membership have been chatting shit about Txiki too.

Yeah well members with long lengths are allowed.
And members with long members are allowed too.
You new people wind your necks in, it's at least two years before you get made.

Because Pep doesn’t play youngsters right away. The report said we don’t want to pay the full price, not that we wouldn’t be interested. And to be completely honest, I don’t trust Cancelo on the left or Ake for big games, not sure Pep does either. That’s what we will have if Zinchenko gets injured

IMO, Pep's best work at City has been utilising what has been at his disposal as opposed to solving the issue in the transfer market.

He inherited Sterling and turned him into a clinical forward player.
He turned KDB, Silva and Fernandinho into the most dominant PL midfield trio of all time,
He helped turn Zinchenko and Delph into very good left backs.

I do think those in charge of transfers have a habit of spending elite prices on good players though.

From which side did Chelsea score in CL final?

Our right hand side !

Not sure. If Cancelo gets injured, does Walker have to play every game? And would we really be happy with Ake/Laporte on the left for quite a few games?

You manage injuries, don't squad pile as that can cause problems. You're Cancelo point would also point at us also needing another RB. My opinion is that the Mendy situation has suddenly left us stronger as a team
