Not sure if it's been said,,,, but this transfer reminds me off Cantona quite a lot,,, about simaler money in today's money,,, got a bit of arrogance about him,, I can actually see him becoming a real proper star

I just hope that he's got the strength of character to cope getting hacked down continually and the refs doing their usual turning a blind eye to it.

He has done a lot, not saying he hasn't, but he has a stubborn streak, where he will stick to a system no matter what the cost, last season our tactics clearly were not working, teams had sussed us out, but he continued with it, we have players now who cam hurt teams if we break quickly, we don't need 60 or 70% possession then lose 1-0

We didn't have the players last season to play high risk football. Rodri and Stones were injured. Walker lost his recovery pace. KDB and Gundogan were 33 and 34 years old respectively. Foden lost form.

City have in January and June restored the playing squad now we need time to get the players to create a team from these players.

The idea that it weren't the multiple injuries and aging players that stopped us but Pep's stubbornness is a strange one. Finishing just 3 pts off Arsenal after so many injuries and problems while reaching the FA Cup final was a good achievement. Let's be a bit more realistic.

I think that in the second half of the season — certainly from about February onward — our record was one of the best, if not the best, of the top six. It was that dire period of October, November, December that scuppered us. We were unrecognisable. But as a friend of mine, supporter of another club, said to me “If that's your shit season, I'll take it all day long.”

The best record from January onwards, which is a bit crazy.

Yes, Liverpool slowed down having won the title early, but they finished badly last season too, who knows? Maybe they were tired and couldn't perform better.

We had a bad season with an ageing, injury hit, burned out squad and you want Pep to change the philosophy that has won him more than nearly every other manager?

But but this is Manchester City, what about the charges????

The blue machine is back to normal operations.

The fees are very prudent business. I won’t be surprised if we make decent coin on outgoings. Hugo in the house -:)
 
How come there is no video for him on a City channel? We had Ait-Nouri and it seems they just dropped Reijnders one.
 
I think we've signed him at the right time. Watching a lot of vids about him. He's brought in a private chef, fitness coach and a psychologist last season, also stayed after training to take on criticism and improve. Asked his team mates to help him with improving his play.

That doesn't sound like a player with attitude issues or low work ethic. The more stats and vids about him the more I think we've signed a phenomenon.

Europa league young player of the year

Where have you got that from about the chef, psychologist and fitness coach? I can't find any source for that.
