Riyad Mahrez

It is funny to see many fools here discussing Alvarez as right wing option when Pep specifically said in many press conference that he will not play him there and he wants him to play centrally as a striker or behind the striker.

Yep the only way we get Alvarez in the team consistently is with a 4-1-3-2 system! Something like this>>

__________Ederson___________

Stones___Dias___Ake___Akanji

___________Rodri___________

Silva_____Foden____Grealish

_____Alvarez__Haaland_____

Stokes can also move into midfield like he has done also to bolster midfield area

I think a fit KDB will always start in City’s best eleven.

They'll more than liekly keep with a 4-1 uptop and have Alvarez in wher Kev would be usual. Peps used that all season so far

Don’t think he’ll play on the wing but hey you never know who thought Jesus would spend the majority of games in the 2021/22 season on the RW

Flying to Dubai to undertake his medical according @SportsPeteO

Cant turn down 30m if thats the offer. Time to replace with a young winger.
But if mahrez leaves, bernardo must stay

Maybe it's just as difficult to schedule a Dr's appointment in Saudi Arabia as it is here?

Probably for the next season or so. We need to gradually phase Grealish, Foden or someone else (possibly a new signing) into that position as KDB's fitness and stamina are a little suspect and he is into his 30s.

Well that lasted long, he played RW in the Charity Shield last year….

I get the point and no doubt he would rather play there too. However with Mahrez going by the looks of things, us losing Gundogan already and with Bernardo rumoured to be wanting away, original plans can change. He has proved he can play there already aswell.

If Haaland remains fit we also risk pissing him off by not playing him enough…. It will be interesting to see how it all plays out come the season.
