Funny that, because so did I, this guy’s fuckin funny though, whether he means to be or not.Stopped reading at Yaya was marginal, he was phenomenal & Mancini ranted at the team you are nothing without Yaya.
Saka walks in over Bernado or Mahrez, really. Also two of your best players were players City didn't need.If you look at that 2012 City team Kompany, Silva and Aguero walk into last season's Arsenal side. Yaya Toure is marginal, the rest of that City team get nowhere near last year's Arsenal 1st XI.
Whereas if you compare Arsenal and City last season, Saka walks into the City team, there are several players that you could argue are on par on either side (particularly at the back, maybe Saliba is a smidge above what City had at CB last season but still marginal) but apart from the aforementioned Saka I don't think another Arsenal player is a shoo in for the City team of last season and some of the City side (eg Haaland, Edersen, Bernardo Silva, Rhodri, KDB) are absolutely clear above their Arsenal counterparts (Silva I put in even though he plays in Saka's position and I said Saka walks into a combined Arsenal/City team I just think Silva is so good (controversial opinion but I actually think he may be your best player) that a spot has to be found for him somewhere.
Actually if you offered me 1 current City player we could take to Arsenal it wouldn't be the 'obvious' choice Haaland - I'd take Silva ahead of him.
Also forgot Kompany, Tevez , Barry, Milner and Dzeko. That City team is probably the best set of individuals that City have ever assembled.If you look at that 2012 City team Kompany, Silva and Aguero walk into last season's Arsenal side.

Yaya Toure marginal? Are you taking the piss? Your midfield contained Granit Xhaka and Thomas Partey and you're not sure whether one of the greatest Premier league midfielders of all time gets in ahead of them?If you look at that 2012 City team Kompany, Silva and Aguero walk into last season's Arsenal side.

His quote about Saliba being better than our central defenders last season is mad. Offer Arteta Stones and Dias he would rip our arm off. He did with Jesus and Zinchenko.Sorry, but the 2011/2012 City side would wipe the floor with last seasons Arsenal. Even the title winning sides of Chelsea I’m struggling to see being inferior to Arsenal. Id take prime Hazard over Saka / Martineli any day.
hes that desperate to be pep we could offer him the tea lady and the parking attendants and hed put em on the benchHis quote about Saliba being better than our central defenders last season is mad. Offer Arteta Stones and Dias he would rip our arm off. He did with Jesus and Zinchenko.
Totally agree. City rarely get outplayed anymore,perhaps once or twice a season and adding Gvardiol and Kovacic just makes us look that much stronger.Back on topic - we are going to win it. The signings have been top class and Kev getting a rest first half of the season will end up a bonus. We can get him superfit in the meantime. Alvarez will get more goals and Foden more minutes but the key is the defence. We look so solid.
Aye he’s a promising player. Not done fuck all yet though and defo not as good as the two I mentioned who have produced.I do rate Saliba, class player
There’s a reason he’s been sniffing round Laporte & Cancelo, and signed Gabby & Zinny, the players he already has, don’t have the right mentality, part of having the right mentality is ingrained in a player from a young age (if not birth) and you can’t buy that, it’s why our due diligence on players focuses heavily in this area, part of it can be learnt through experience, the scars of last season will be too much for some, the big question is, what if they don’t win it this season ?His quote about Saliba being better than our central defenders last season is mad.
