I know you were telling me that it meant Raheem.
Not sure if there's more to it than that.
I'm all ears mate.

Hockey player Nazem Kadri, who plays for Toronto, is sometimes referred to as Nazem the Dream.I know you were telling me that it meant Raheem.

Ha, that's a new one to me bud. Not watched much hockey in a while.
I've bought a few x-mas trees off Eddie Shack though over the years ; )
Bringing in a player like Aubameyang, especially after signing Sane, would just kill the confidence of at least one of Kelechi and Jesus. People tend to forget that all but maybe 3 strikers (if that) in the world wouldn't start ahead of Kun. Auba can stay at BVB and be the main target man for a team who will compete domestically and in the UCL. I'm more than comfortable with the two younger players plus Sane if need be.
As for the rest of our business, I think other than Jesus and Moreno who look likely Stones will be the last one we absolutely for sure get done; however, I think we will monitor very closely, and maybe even decide to go after once the season begins, the likes of Bonucci or Kroos. One of the two would make for a fantastic window. Both would make us heavy favorites for the league and capable of at least the semis in the CL.

Stones, then a goalkeeper, then our summer business is done. (Jesus since he is staying in Brazil until Dec doesn't count).
It might not have been a noisy window, but it's been a fantastic one nonetheless.

I certainly dont think anyone could have predicted our approach to this window as the signings have been largely leftfield,but it would be difficult to not be impressed by our business.Stones, then a goalkeeper, then our summer business is done.

With the liklihood of 2 or 3 more incomings,and if we have decent luck with fitness,our squad looks very,very capable.
Now,we just need to sort the outgoings......

so no new centre midfielder?? big mistake imo
Need another CM for me. Appreciate your comments re Garcia, and this is where it becomes difficult to know when to put a youngster in, but if gundogan/dinho get injured we are arguably no stronger than last year, player wise. We are relying on the 'pep effect' which should count for something, but CM has been a problem area. We need anther to make sure we have strength in depth, of high quality, in that position.Stones, then a goalkeeper, then our summer business is done.

Not sure why you think we won't see much of Gabriel Jesus when he is back in January; I think we can make it to Jan without struggling too much; we'll see anywayDon't think we will see much of Jesus this season Kun and Nacho is not enough for me in what could be a very long season it is a very fine balancing act of giving game time to the young and the experience players I think pep can find a winning harmony

It's a weird one. Pep's obsession with CM's is well documented. Can only assume that he's happy with what he has. Which means im cool with it. This isn't Pellers or even Mancini. Pep would get a player no matter what the cost if he wanted a player.

We signed a chap called Ilkay Gundogan. I believe he plays in midfield :)

There are a few of us, and we could be way off, but I still think Stones could get tried and may become Peps pivot.

Calm down petal. Obviously if the player wants to come. The point I'm making is simply Pep must be calm about the CM situation as we're not throwing bids in left right and center like we have for center backs. You've clearly not even understood my "assertion". Fucking nonsense indeed.

I understand that pep is the best manager in the world and that if he clicks his fingers not everyone will come to play for him PetalPep would get a player no matter what the cost if he wanted a player.

That's not the point of my post. As I've tried to explain. But hey who cares what point I was making when you can call a different one you've made up in your head nonsense. Classic Bluemoon.

I do not think @BillyShears is saying any CM would drop everything and walk to the Etihad the minute Pep looks in their direction.
It's clear what he's saying, in that if Pep was after a certain player and said player had interest in the leaving his current club to Join City, then something could happen.
