We started off with the best squad, and have added to it. Pep's job is to turn the best individual players into a team. Last season we had stopped fighting as a team, and KDB and Silva did not function.

KDB did not function? He was awsome last season and silva was injured?
Sorry: Function together I meant. I have a few reservations about integrating KDB into the team when it looks very much as if Guardiola will play with two wide men (based on the transfers). I think he's best when a team builds itself around him ,but I can't see us doing thatKDB did not function? He was awsome last season and silva was injured?

Reservations about KDB? Mine are with Silva TBH. I thought kdb was our most important player. No dig at you, just curious.

On paper and all known form we have had the best squad and should of won the league last 2 seasons and for what ever reason ( my opinion bad man management and poor tactics from pellers ) we failed massively.
Now for the first time we've actually added a world class player in ilkay and a really good squad player in nolito whom is miles in front of say a jovetic I know they play different areas across the front line but they are squad players not first 11 guaranteed every week players.
With the itk 's saying sane Amd stones as good as done that's 2 of the biggest young talents in their positions world wide added.
You can slag stones all you want but pep, Jose and barca all can't be wrong can they???
Think we are in a great position no matter who else comes in.
Can we keep all flapping and being worried about the rags UNTILL the season starts please.

I think we have the same reservation. I don't think Silva was fully fit. He seemed back to his best for Spain. He basically ran the games for Spain, but there are other players had gone down a level. Silva is the go to man. But KDB needs to be that too. If you put him out wide, as we did on occasion he doesn't function as well. For me they both need to be the central cog. If Pep sorts that out he'll have done us a lot of good. We're not getting the most out of them. It will be better next season on the Silva/ KDB front because Silva will be fit, and KDB has 12 months experience but we're still to see whether they can play together.Reservations about KDB?

Honestly thought you used to talk nonsense. Not now. Spot on.
I agree about the CIty aspect. Add those 2 and we'll do well, but rivalry with Man Utd is a big deal too. last season would have been a whole lot worse had Utd won the league rather than Leicester. if they sign one of the world's best players and we deliberately ignore them then that's absolutely unfathomable to me. If it's a case of City being cuter an smarter in the transfer mkt, as has also been suggested then we can hail the good work done and laugh at Woodward. Can't blame City fans from reacting to events such as SSN running the yellow bar with Man Utd in Juve talks for Pogba. That's usually a genuine indicator a deal is close. Maybe they jumped the gunOn paper and all known form we have had the best squad and should of won the league last 2 seasons and for what ever reason ( my opinion bad man management and poor tactics from pellers ) we failed massively.

Sky sports news having breaking news and say sky sources about rumours on Twitter!!
Even if pogba goes to the swamp they won't finish above us.
I'd bet my house on it, he's a great player but he's no sureaz messi etc.
Don't think he puts the fear into opponents
