Big gamble never paid off imo, he had a handful of 8 out of 10 games but more average with some stinkers at CB but we missed those legs in midfield without doubt, we now expect his last season to be in & out with possible cup games & when Rodri & Gundo are injured or restedFern has dropped off big time imho
Possibly.
But nothing on this is coming from City.
So, even though I believe we are taking a huge risk if we don't sign a cb, I can't whinge about this deal, as all the news on it, is coming from that ****, in Italy.
City may have set their stall out weeks ago & be looking at other players, for all we know.

Trying to fit those 3 in if we sign another CB will be Peps hardest choice this year
I don't see the point of playing once great players when they are well past their sell-by-date. Some of them fade out gracefully and for others their legs seem to go almost overnight. Ferdy has been a legend but he is dreadful at Centre Half and it's not fair to play him there. Nowadays he needs to be bench player who comes on for occasional cameo performances.He’s 34 and been playing out of position!
I agree I mean have we actually admitted we have bid for koulibaly? We will bring someone in who will be a surprise for everyoneI think that is exactly the case
we will have multiple options and none are yet off the table
We have a couple of weeks left of the transfer window - things will get done.
People saying that the Messi chase is a distraction are just panicking - they obviously have little faith in our highly experienced execs and team to be able to multi task!

June 30th 2024Zinchenko’s agent about Zinch being included in the Koulibaly deal, could’ve said something like ”Zinchenko is going nowhere, he’s happy at City” but he didn’t. He revealed quite a lot with that response, not necessarily that Zinch is leaving for Napoli but that he could be on his way out.
Anyone knows when Zinch’s contract is up?
I hope the club is working on a deal for Zinch to go the other way, because I don’t think Napoli will budge on their pricetag.
Imagine its Derby Day. Or the day City go to Anfield. You think City's defence is equipped for that? If not, you should be p'ssed. It's September the 12th and professional football clubs maximise every opportunity they have.god I wondered what that moisture in the air was.
turns out it was the sheer amount of pissed pants in this thread.
Fucking hell!
With respect, the potential transfer of the biggest player in the world, on some of the biggest wages with all that entails, is bound to require huge resources and input and cause a distraction to any management team, no matter how experienced, it's only natural.I think that is exactly the case

I have faith in city's defence, we only conceded the second least at year, I don't understand the re-writing of history that our defence is shit reminder that we're consinstantly actually one of the best defences in the league, the stats don't lie.Imagine its Derby Day. Or the day City go to Anfield. You think City's defence is equipped for that? If not, you should be p'ssed.

Nobody is in for him because everyone in football is reeling under Covid even Real Madrid, Barcelona and PSG.Its a mad transfer this, Koulabily will be pissed at both imo
Do we really need him because it looks like nobody else wants him
City have to be telling him to hang in there otherwise this would have ended weeks ago
Nobody knows what the fuck is going on but we have 3 weeks left at least but fuck me if we want him then pay it so he's here training & ready for Wolves
No1 beside PSG would go for him. With or without Corona.Nobody is in for him because everyone in football is reeling under Covid even Real Madrid, Barcelona and PSG.

I agree Marv but remember these transfers don't get paid in a oner, even English clubs pay it over a number of season unless the selling club demand itNobody is in for him because everyone in football is reeling under Covid even Real Madrid, Barcelona and PSG.
