Any one coming in is taking a cut in minutes if they are a start where they are, that's the bit you would have to persuade someone they will get a fair crack. Either someone who will back themselves to be better sooner or later than the 3 senior cbs we have or doesnt mind the rotation prob not an easy find at this level and price.What is all this back up nonsense?
We play 60 games a season and with a world cup bang in the middle of the season and the 5 sub rule, ALL our squad will be getting lot's of minutes.
Not counting Stones/Laporte/Dias from last season Ake and the rest made up 21 starts and 2085 minutes.
Total minutes avg over 4 CBs is about 2825 minutes if all fully fit all season and rotated equally
Gvardiol (for example) made 40 starts and played 3502 minutes last season.
You mean like when Dias came in?Any one coming in is taking a cut in minutes if they are a start where they are, that's the bit you would have to persuade someone they will get a fair crack.

And he won fuck all and got paid probably half of what he would here. Players wil move to big clubs to be at big clubs, to win things, to play with the best, be coached by the best, be in various high profile competitions, get paid well etc. Not to count minutes. Which I'm sure is a consideration too, but one they will back themselves on.

Yes exactly but we were losing/lost Kompany and Otamendi at the time, this will be a harder (not impossible) sell IMO with 3 quality CBs ahead.You mean like when Dias came in?
gonna be interesting to see who goes for it.

It was really on the last bit, about Gvardiol having olayed more minutes where he is, but fair enough on covering it earlier yourself. And fair too on the response above to both posts.

Regardless of all the 'but we have 60 games, we rotate' anyone coming in has to be sold on that, you are gonna play less and you might not play every big game, but you will be improved by Pep and win stuff.It was really on the last bit, about Gvardiol having olayed more minutes where he is, but fair enough on covering it earlier yourself.

If its anyone under 23/24 i'll be impressed with his mentality straight away. Kinda like the interview with Ortega, Im here to push as much as I can so watch your shirt.
And ambitious players back their talent, self belief is the No1 requirement at a big, title winning club, without that you have no chance.And he won fuck all and got paid probably half of what he would here.

This club attracts winners, not bench warmers, they belong in stretford.
60 games, world cup, 5 subs and a history of CB with injurie issues, any top player who is hungry would die to join our club.Yes exactly but we were losing/lost Kompany and Otamendi at the time, this will be a harder (not impossible) sell IMO with 3 quality CBs ahead.

To become an elite athlete you almost always require absolute dedication, focus and confidence in your own ability.60 games, world cup, 5 subs and a history of CB with injurie issues, any top player who is hungry would die to join our club.
Any player who has the opportunity to join city will do so and they’ll back themselves to displace whoever is currently in their position. It’s the way they’re wired.
