West Ham are after a replacement so this looks more likely by the hour.

We didn’t sign him because we had Gundo. Sometimes it’s that simple. We don’t stockpile players like Chelsea.I ain't bashing him neither,although I am to the thinking,and Pep MUST be himself,that he don't look upto it,so I will always wonder why we did sign him in the first place,just don't get it me,probably never will.
There's no second season syndrome coming into play here neither with looks,all as I can think is that Pep is still not happy yet after calling him out for being a fat ****

imo not many players are better than phil, do we have to judge every player with players already here, we wouldn't buy anyone if that was the case, we are after paqueta because the powers that be want another player and they deem him to be that player because after researching him he is deemed to be a good fit, the lad is 25/26 he could quite easily be here for another 7 years , we lost gundogan, and imo this is the player the powers want to replace him, make not one difference if he was 10,20,30 or 90m , what matters is he will be able to do a job for the team and by the looks of it is available .We’ve consistently found young talent, and brought them on.
Yes they market is ridiculous at the moment, but it doesn’t mean we need to run with it. To be it’s got a sense of a bit of a panic buy about it, which is out of character for city.
Is he really better than Foden could be in that position?
as for panic buy, im not sure we have ever bought someone in a panic, and wonder why you think this is a panic buy

I know I will have been perceived to be Phil bashing in the last week. I’m not trying to. It’s probably my impatience that he’s not already there yet. As you say though, time is on his side.
He’s awesome, he’s just not reached his full potential yet, having had 5-6 years of Pep. Maybe KDB being injured more will give Foden more exposure as an 8 and he may well take off and become the superstar we know he could be.
Paqueta and Kovecic will likely rotate for the other 8 spot on the left, depending on the opponent.
No I get it. I'm his biggest fan but he's not realised his potential yet. It's going to be a big season this year for him because he's not a kid anymore.
Towards the end of last season it looked like Pep was grooming him to be Kev's successor but I'll guess we'll see.
Or Rice, or Caicedo, or Lavia, or Enzo, or Mudryk, or Havertz, or Nunez, or Sancho, or Antony, or ...Don't see it as any more a risk than Gvardiol.

Touche.. Thing with Philips is that we all thought he'd do well even the press thought as much.I note with interest that you left Kalvin Phillips off your list of players that you used as evidence of our world class decision making ;)
sometimes things don't work out as expected but if you dont buy a lottery ticket you'll never win the lottery.
I don’t think Phillips is playing any worse than he did at Leeds and for englandTouche.. Thing with Philips is that we all thought he'd do well even the press thought as much.

Just the level at city is a cut above
That's a big ask. Any City fan who hasn't smelled the coffee by now needs to see an ENT specialist...or maybe they haven't awaken yet at all...Or Haaland,Alvarez,Rodri,Diaz,Bernado,Aka,Akanji,Stones etc etc etc.through the squad..
We have a world class team built by those who know what the fuck they're talking about.
I hope one day city fans who doubt our world class decision making wake up and smell the coffee.
