nail on the head matey

and its the young english players that are more at risk because of the system at youth football ? young players of 8 or 9 have now got agents and the mums and dads are getting paid in gifts and money or houses and will pimp their sons out to the biggest clubs. they are given everything for doing nothing but kick a ball about ? and your right come 17 or 21 they are done and lost to the game ? the hunger the desire the dedication and commitment all gone even fake injuries or dare i say use the mental health issue

we could get them signed and work them in at the eithad campus in the next 3 weeks, the players that are going already know and been told so i don't really understand the wait, just take the sane deal to munich get him in early work with the team learn the system

there is going to be little to no pre-season or time for a rest, city to try and get a jump on the rest and hit the ground running next season or we could be 6 or 9 points behind and chasing again, also heard that champions league teams that play in the mini tournament have to have a brake for 3 weeks by uefa laws, so city new season could be 2 weeks behind the rest and with the new premier league setup, it could be 3 to 5 games in a very tight period, and with 3 games a week city would have to make up time some how ?

so if i was manager i would get all the new signing in right now and build some sort of bonding camp and also give let them train with the champions league squads because that would help both parties

The players have had ages off mate, I wouldn't worry about that. Also there's about 20 days between the cl final (which we might not reach) and the pl start, even if we reach the final starting a week later is no big deal. The 5 subs rule should really benefit us next season.

As for new signings Torres and Ake probably done next week, but after that we need to move players on as we bring new players in.

Hard to see why Eric would want to stay

First there's pep and I know you'll come back with how long will he be here. All the noise pep has made in the regards to his future has been positive. I'd be surprised if he doesn't sign an extension.

Secondly, he's getting game time. With the impending departure of both Stones and Otamendi it's likely he'll get even more next season. Even with the new CB's coming in.

Lastly there's the continuity. He's still got 2 years left on his current deal so Barca will have to shell out the required fee if they want him. It's not like we're just going to let him walk away on a free.

It's not a simple case of if Barca want him he goes. We heard the same about the likes of Silva and Aguero for almost 10 years and it never materialised and that was when the on field balance of power was firmly in Barca's favour.

@Sleeping_Easy Appears to be 1 year wrt contract

Also Silva & Kun are not cantera players nor Catalan, they do not compare to Garcia

Else I agree ☝️

That just reads like former Barcelona players will always leave for Barcelona. And makes you and your club look arrogant in the extreme. Looking at it objectively from a financial and footballing point of view ignoring personal preferences for location or football club in terms of history city are a better option and getting a better option relative to Barcelona more and more over time. We are generally improving each year in terms of squad scouting academy back office staff, rumours of big changes this year new sister clubs etc etc
