Players who might improve us

[BosnianBlue]

Do you know a goal keeper that concede goals from the 1st shot more than Bravo ?

Bravo is great in PK and has good passing ability, but I don't think he is better goal keeper than Joe.

Not sure what Bravo has with absolutely zero chance of Hart ever being City goalkeeper again. Bravo's contract is up anyway, he'll be replaced, but not by Hart.

His contract expire this summer, but Madrid have an option to extend it for 1 year !

Should be cheaper than Sane.

I would love Odegaard here but he has contract with Real to 2023.

 

[Cast No Shadow]

Koopmeiners - 22 years old- AZ

Cdm/cb
Brilliant passer
21/22 pens scored
Captain
Really good at beating the press
Wouldnt cost ridiculous money

Too good a player at a decent price for our ‘elite’ scouting department - he’ll have to be established elsewhere and cost £60m before he ends up on their radar.

 

[HelloCity]

The next transfers are so important.

Will the attacker be as good as Sane?
Will the midfielder be as good as Silva?
Will the centre back be as good as Kompany?

Slowly but surely if you don’t by players at the top level then you end up regressing into a lesser team than you had before.

It’s a mistake we made in the Pellegrini era where we ended up with the likes of Fernando, Navas, Jovatic.

 

[Tevez City]

Liverpool, Sheffield, Leicester & even United conceded less goals than City so far this season !

Do they have better goal keepers ? CBs ? LB/RB better than City ?

Sheffield and Leicester weren't exposing their defense as much as we did. Liverpool have better defensive line easily, Rags didn't have worse than us for sure.

All of those teams are a lot more passive in attack than us. This is more down to luck than you would expect. We have the best xGA in the league at 27.87 (sitting at 31 on the table) whilst Liverpool is at 28.69 (21 on table). For some reason we concede goals that the opposition should not be scoring whilst the dippers somehow have a magical barrier. To add some extra context our xPTS is 63.21 whilst Liverpool’s is at 59.81. That is a 22.19 swing....stupendous season.

Marcus thuram and christopher unkunku

Marcus thuram and christopher unkunku

Marcus thuram is definitely one I'd take a chance on. Very raw but has all the attributes required to be phenomenal. The right coaching and right attitude he could be a star.

I think you are being slightly disingenuous, Liverpool's defensive line have 3 defensive minded midfielders protecting them. I'm not denying they're better by the way, just saying they are left far less exposed at times than our defence.
