Matheus Nunes

Care about what? City?

About what becomes of Nunes...at the moment he's not an impediment to anything we are trying to do. Anything we do between now and Friday's window closing is not dependent on his present or future status at City. We have enough money and space to buy anyone we want if we so desired. So if he goes or sticks around a bit longer does it really matter? Phillips had a specific role to fill and failed miserably while occupying a key roster spot. Cancelo became a huge detriment to the club in terms of his behavior. Nunes is not either of those...
 
Getting rid of Nunes would be one of the most stupid decisions the club could make. We need everyone this year, football has changed.

.70 plus games

. Internationals

.Club world cup


Thats a lot of games,We need everyone.

Yep. That's how squads work.

Like when we won the title because Delph that wasn't going to get any minutes played a whole run at LB when needed. Or when the doomed Zinchenko ended up being a key player for us. Or Ake, that should have returned to Chelsea because he wouldn't get any minutes ended up being our best defender. Or Akanji, who was a nonsense unnecessary signing ended up..

Sometimes it is like people here don't even watch our football, deferring instead to transfermarket predictions.

Or maybe we could sell him and replace him with someone that’s actually decent.

Unless we just want to always win the net spend trophy as well as the PL.

That’s assuming we don’t buy someone if he went isn’t it though.

We could sign someone without him leaving. Two, in fact.

I would imagine with 2.5 days left if any signings come in they will be a second striker.

But who knows, anything can indeed happen.

All the discussions you are responding to have been in the context of him being papped out of the club either on loan or for a cut fee. Not him being replaced in the last couple of days, just fyi.

Guaranteed bouncing out in the first round of the FA/Carabao and CWC with the panic over games. Just pure city move written all over it. lol. Most likely land around 60-65 as usual.

If we do sell him over the next couple of days and don't buy anyone we surely must be near all time net spend champions. Infact prepare yourself to never hear that term spoken about again by the boys.
If it ends that way I think we might just about have enough in reserve to do the job. However, I would think that next summer the purse strings will have to be loosened regardless of who is in charge.

There's a good player there. He just doesn't fit our system. Would rather he went abroad and not do a cole palmer

Didn't stand out enough in the football I watched before he joined us and in the last 12 months he's not had a kick give or take dead rubbers so, no idea if there's a player there.

Pep not bringing him on at 3-1 up but, chucking him on at 4-1 with seconds then go suggests he's sending him a message that it's time to go.

Not sending him on at alll would have been clearer as a message, right?
 
If we were to sell him for what we paid for him I wouldn't be against it as long as we buy someone better. However, a loan makes 0 sense and I would rather give Matheus a chance here.

Well yes it does. The longer he "sticks around" not playing, he becomes a depreciating asset, whilst adding to our wage bill.

You say Philips had a specific role to fill & failed miserably, so what specific role did we buy Nunes for, & how has he fared so far?

Whether we get a replacement for him or not, sometimes it's better to cut your losses & move on, & imo this would be best for City & Nunes. Evidently you disagree, as you seem to be OK with him potentially being sat around all season, with his transfer value & playing reputation plummeting.

Nunes isn't an EDS kid. He's a senior international player, & when he played last season in the absence of Rodri, he was seriously underwhelming.

With Rodri again missing on Saturday, Pep chose Stones & Gundog over Nunes in midfield, & only brought him on for 3 token minutes when we were 4-1 up at home, against a newly promoted side.

There are rumours about him leaving for a reason, & as yet City haven't denied the speculation or given public assurances that Nunes will feature prominently in Pep's plans for the season ahead.

I have. I'm just saying I'm not particularly bothered by him leaving or staying another 6 to 12 months. It's not a priority IMO...getting a second 9 is however a priority for me but I'm to understand we can just flip the switch in the case of Haaland going down and put Foden or Grealish in the 9 and off we go...Doku and Savinho haven't played in a false 9 system. Sterling's career went into the shitter when we went with that plan and Grealish sucked balls in his first year here in that system. Bernardo, Gundo, and KDB are all 3 years older from when they did it...
