Not to be negative, but if Liverpool sign Thiago, i think they have sealed the title for next season.

They already have such a complete team. Adding Thiago to their midfield would give them much more variation. They will add another 10-15 goals to their team with him in that side.

City still have so much chopping and changing to do, whereas Liverpool don't. Might benefit us in the long run, but could affect us in the short term due to various new signings having to adapt to Pep's way of playing.

The same waa said about us signing rodri last season

Get rid of Dihno and Gundogan. Bring in Aouor and an athletic DM.

A midfield 3 of Athletic DM, Aouor and Kevin will rival any 3. You can have Bernado and Rodri back them up. Rotate those 5 behind the 6 upfront.


5 incoming
Ake
Torres
Aouor
Athletic DM
Soyuncu
Reguilon

This will be a real haul of talent and potential. We really have to buy the best available and not waste Kevin's next 4 years.

Let me be Crytsl Clear, if the dipshitz had Kevin for the next 4 years they'll win at least 2 more CL's and walk the league 4 straight years.

Kevin Debryune and Mbappe will likely be the 2 best players in the world the next 2-3 years.

We need to stack the team around him and go win some big things.

So get Aouor. Especially since Kevin name dropped him personally. And get an athletic DM too. Let us have a midfield that is intense and technical.

Then re-establish the Press ( Gabby I'm looking directly at you, time to take over as lead striker). Sterling and Foden/Torres (both young and can press,) Mahrez and Aguero can be super subs. As they have individual magic but aren't the greatest pressers.

Walker, Soyuncu on the right. That will be the most speed ever on the right side of a Defense. Laporte/ Ake at LCB and Reguillion/ Mendy at LB.

That for me would be close to a dream summer.

1/3 of the way their. Next Season's mantra: Do not waste Kev's best 3 years.

I wonder whether we will sell Gundo. Specially pep likes him so. Ferna is as close as gone from our team. He will not mind playing less next season specially if others are good enough. He is rewarded a extra year of contract for his loality to the team.
Koulabily has also got pace. If he played as close as Thiago Silva at PSg (he was also 28/29 when he went to PSG plus injury prone as well) he will be worth every penny. One CMF space is available in our squad.

Nonsense.

Liverpool will be under a lot of scrutiny this coming season. Very different to defend a title, EVERY team wants to beat you, and are their players going to be as hungry for sucesss?

Lets hop they are not, will make our challenge a lot easier.
 
Thiago is comfortably the best deep lying playmaker in the world at present. Has been for some time.

If Liverpool sign him, we might as well pack up as they are winning the title again next season.

Thiago would walk into any team in the world.

no team is going to walk the league,thiago isnt superman ,he is a decent midfielder, we have better at city

Liverpool walked the league this season WITHOUT Thiago...

football doesn't work like that, he is decent not fucking superman, and if he plays one of the players that "walked" the league doesn't,
i remember united signing veron and thought exactly the same as you, then my bollox dropped ,stop worrying about what liverpool do in the transfer market
 
Played very well last night in a high quality CL final and has always been a very good player. A very experienced head.

Miles better than Gundogan and Rodri and now that Fernandinho is about 70, better than him as well.

If he's going spare for 25m, we should be bollocks deep. You certainly dont let such a player go to a team 18 points ahead of you without batting an eyelid.
 
Remember its Rodri's second season. How many overseas signings do better in their second season. I just think in the modern game, he needs pace around him, something the lovechild lacks..

Its no good if he is missing large chunks of the season
 
there gnna be some unhappy players at L'pool.

Their squad is packed with mids.

Milner, Fabinho, Keita, Wijnaldum, Shaqiri, Henderson, Chamberlain, Elliot, Wilson, etc

And to add Thiago....would spell the end for Milner, Shaqiri or Wignaldum.

No he wouldn’t.
Why did you write in bold?
 
Hilarious.. wake up and take a look at the transfer forum and some already writing of the title because the bin dippers apparently sign Thiago.....

Yes he is a good player but as already mentioned, the dippers tend to bypass midfield and get it up quick to the front three - this signing woyld highlight that klipperty is changing tact. Teams will be out to get their scalp, something they are not acquainted with

I aint bothered who they fucking sign, only that we get who we need and start fast.

And who wants to buy Gundogan? Do we just offer him to clubs and put his name out there in the shop window?
He's been a main stay Pep player for a good few seasons now. It's not how we do things at City. Zinchenko is one I could see leaving - as I can Angelino.

There's no guarantee even Otamendi will leave on his high wages.

Same argument can be made for any player.

Agree he is no Superman. But I disagree we have better at DM. He is what Pep dreams of at DM. Injury prone but other than that he plays the position like Pep invented him.

Wijnaldum apparently is out so they're replacing Thiago with him. Milner is 35, shaqiri is a winger and Keita + ox spent majority of the year on the sidelines anyways
