Re the earlier discussion about false 9s - some seem to have forgotten Dec 2014 when Aguero and Jovetic were injured and Dzeko pulled up in the warm-up at Leicester. We gave Pozo a run there but it didn't work out too well so for the following 3 or 4 games we played a fluid strikerless formation with Milner and Silva interchanging as false 9s. Silva scored 4 goals in 3 games and from memory we won 3 and drew 1.

Our current squad is even better placed to deal with such a situation, KdB, Sterling, Silva, Nolito, (and Iheanacho, who can play deeper as well as up front) are all capable of delivering goals if Pep decides to play a strikerless formation, whether by necessity or choice.

MCFC Info ‏@MCFClnfo 4m4 minutes ago
City boss Pep Guardiola IS looking to sign two full-backs, but his defensive priority is John Stones (who can also play there). [Mirror]

hi mate who in your unlicensed professional opinion is the better Twitter account for city news. City watch or Mcfc info? Say you had to pick only one to follow who'd it be?

I know you didn't ask me but City Watch, MCFC info is much like bluemoon and posts every rumor possible even if it doesn't make sense. Especially this window they've some details wrong, attached wrong names to players in pictures etc. They post a lot more frequently than City Watch but City Watch has the more realistic reports from more reputable sources.

I've sort of tried not to remind people of that, he stepped up to the plate at the time

I'm fucked. For a change, I just stayed tried my luck with some hot woman for a change. She told me her son is signing for city, Spanish, or South American.

 

[BlueDeadHead]

It depends on how highly you rate Iheanacho I suppose. I think he's good, but with a long way still to go. Whether he's good enough yet to spearhead a top Premier League forward line on a regular basis I'm not yet convinced. Purely subjective opinion of course. Maybe he is (good enough)

Specifically what weaknesses did you seen in his admittedly limited appearances last season, because I thought he looked the part regardless of age.

 

[bluesteel]

That makes little sense. I just met a smoking hot woman. She said her son was signing for city and she was looking around.

 

[BlueDeadHead]

Zaba love the man but I'm scared he will be this seasons demichallis if he stays.
Club legend and Warrior but finished at the top level

This will be the first season he will be starting having had significant rest (albeit because of injury) in a number of seasons. I wonder if a fresh Zabs has another season or two in him.

Mate, you don't need to to bite. I'm not a dick. I'm just pissEd. Got nothing more to add.
