No point spending 55m on Nunes if we're going to spend 85m on Paqueta a year later.

Buying Nunez was an odd one. We may have to cut our losses on him. I'd love him to come good but I've seen few signs so far.

I think he has actually been looking better in his last few appearances. Definitely more assertive and decisive on the ball and showing the ability to hold it up under pressure and carry the ball forward through traffic he did at Wolves.

Have to remember that most players have needed a season to come to terms with Pep’s system and demands.

Certainly no reason to write him off just yet.

Villa have lost their form lately, luckily for them that Spurs are fucking Spurs

most said the same about gvardiol, rodri was called plodri,ake was seen as a waste of money, mahrez was a step over merchant and there just the ones tha spring to mind, realistically the only three players who have hit the ground running are haaland, dias and akanji

We might get a tenner for him & Phillips

Brighton Villa game is very dull. Feels more like a friendly. You wouldn't think Villa had anything to play for judging by how they have gone about it. Very subdued atmosphere too in what looks like a third empty stadium.

It's a bit of a nothing game for Brighton. Their recent form has been poor and it's live on the telly, you can see why their fans have swerved it.

Good to know West Ham have checked out for the season.

 

[SebastianBlue]

@Vialli98 Do you still think Jackson is a good contributor to the team?

 

[Gray]

Have the West Ham fans left yet?

See, the question is not whether Cole Palmer is good. Or even whether he's very good. The question is simply, would you have given that lad a regular starting spot in this City team, this season? Given that seasoned full England internationals like Jack Grealish and World Cup winners like Julián Álvarez are not getting that assurance from Pep, there is only one possible answer. Rightly or wrongly, Cole felt he was good enough to get that assurance at another club, this season, and in the Premier League. And he was right. Good on him.
City are City. Pep has other standards. And he doesn't believe in hurrying it.
Cole can do whatever he likes at Chelsea. No regrets.
