I’m amazed that the vast majority who post on the transfer thread have not been snapped up by premier league teams their expertise on the running of transfer dealings is outstanding and their financial acumen is second to none
I think that's true. Neither of them tracked back yesterday. I hope it was just pre-season fitness levels. We have lost two huge workhorses from the team in Gabby and Raheem so the rest have to step up.I felt we were being targeted both side. The problem for me was Grealish & Mahrez were not working hard enough to cover those threats.
I didn’t like having Grealish and Mahrez playing together. They didn’t press or track back enough and I feel they play a similar style of play. I would prefer to play one of Foden and Alvarez and either Mahrez or Grealish.I think that's true. Neither of them tracked back yesterday. I hope it was just pre-season fitness levels.

two years on the bounce making bids on players we know won't be accepted, Txiki has done wonders for us, but at times our negotiating is embarrassing.
The problem isn't Grealish, it's Cancelo. This was more than adequately demonstrated by Grealish's performance against Bayern when he played with JWE at LB. Pep surely sees this. I know we're trying to make a point about how we won't be turned over in transfer negotiations but enough already. If Cucurella is the only player on our radar who can fulfill all Pep's requirements for the position, just pay the damn money this time. Sometimes the market doesn't go the way you want and you have to pay more than you would like to for something.I think Cancelo could be great on the left hand side of midfield. It would be worth an experiment, especially if Grealish doesn't step up and continues to pass backwards so much. Cancelo has great movement and can get to the byeline as good as anyone in our team. Bernardo did this well on the right yesterday after KDB went off.

Not sure about Mahrez, but Grealish was doing half Cancelo's job defensively. If someone didn't see that, they weren't paying attention to the game.I felt we were being targeted both side. The problem for me was Grealish & Mahrez were not working hard enough to cover those threats.
