That is true but the ultimate outcome is that we need to start planning for succession whether that be purchases or from the EDS.
Definitely.

Sterling, Mangala and Navas are good players. Bony is too, but not for us. A big fish in a small pond, but when his bottle has goneBack four woeful, Pellers is a dead man walking, no plan b let alone a plan a.
Another note, just because you spend a fortune on a player it doesn't necessarily make him good, Sterling, Bony, Mangala, Navas, need I go on?
But our expensive buys are available mostly. De Bruyne, Oto, raheem. As I said earlier, the problem goes beyond injuries and is as much to do with tactical nous, squad management and old fashioned motivational management.Sterling, Mangala and Navas are good players.

back 4 is not woeful, the central defence is because it's missing two players. Last season we changed centre-backs every 5 minutes and guess what we conceded goals. End of last season start of this we had a settled back 4: we were watertight. Now we get injuries and guess what we start leaking goals
We're looking for unnecessary explanations when the most obvious explanation is there: Injuries. Doesn't matter how much you have spent, if your expensive buys are not available then your team becomes ordinary, and that underlies it all
Stuttgart-City 4-1 in pre season and not just the result but the way we lost there. People said its just pre season game and doesnt matter but same of those tactical mistakes and individual mistakes can be found in many of our bad games. Stoke unlucky not to beat us 4-0 is latest example. We dont work on those mistakes so we wont get rid of them.
So the question is what do we do in the training ground? All I ever see in inside City videos that players in a circle trying to pass around the two guys in the middle.
And that De Bruyne Sterling are so happy to beat Manga and Sagna on Fifa 2016 while Yaya competes with Clichy who can try on more Christmas Tshirts in less time.
