[Tolmie scores]

Everybody gets a solid amount of games in City’s 60 plus games a season.

I just don't get it...fouls a lot..and passes like Ray 'crab' Wilkins...could be very wrong but...

And they will get even more game time because of the World Cup and the five subs rule. We need two strong players in each position.

I know we need cover there but not every arrival needs to have that sort of price tag, there must be options out there...

 

[train man]

And we may play a 4-2-3-1 requiring a double pivot. Bernardo sometimes does that role but if there's uncertainty over his situation, it'll take someone else a season to bed in properly.

I wondered about that, but cannot see a double pivot being used often - we already lose a creative midfielder to accommodate Haaland (no, that's not a complaint), let's hope Bernardo is sorted soon, that would be a bad bad loss...

Never stops running and yes he does foul a lot but we need someone like that in the team, Pep will sort out his passing and positioning.

Plus the English quota. Especially if Sterling leaves either this or next season when his current contract ends.

Yep, we can't really go in to [the Mendy case], but some things suggest not cut and dried.

Mendy is charged with ten offences involving, IIRC, seven different complainants in relation to alleged events that occurred over a period of nearly three years. It wouldn't be at all a surprise if the legal grounds for some of those charges seem more solid than those for other charges, but what you're saying sounds different from that.

It's worth noting that the PL standard player's contract allows City to terminate Mendy's contract if he's convicted of one offence and sentenced to at least three months' imprisonment. However, even if the burden of proof for a conviction isn't reach for any of the charges, it's possible (theoretically - I have no inside knowledge of the case) that the circumstances could nonetheless give rise to a view of conduct on Mendy's part that amounted to gross misconduct and justified summary dismissal.

However, I'd better not comment/speculate further, I guess. It'd only cause legal trouble for the board.

Yep it's called "Sub Judice".

Yep it's called "Sub Judice".

So City get 6 subs next season, then? ;)

Wilkins was a very good player, highly technical.

Bit of a sicknote, but if Phillips can pass like Wilkins, then we shouldn't think twice.

So we're getting Jude on the bench then?
And he's only 12.
