Murillo performing like he does at only 22 is interesting, but I do understand that people are wary of signing from those type of teams. But I think people forget that Phillips was allright in a poor Leeds side. And Nunes was average in an allright Wolves side. There is still quality to be had from these type of clubs

I was 50/50 on Murrilo to be fair. But Aina is a no. He isn't at our level just yet but he is already 28. There is no upside to him and he is at his peak already. El Khanousi is a nice little player. But he won't be playing against an open team every week.

I just think we should stick to top talent or rising talent.

I would sign Murrilo

I am all in for Murrilo, I think he is a top talent.

Fair enough. I was more interested in a full time left back. But I guess Murrilo and Gvardiol can be the left sided guys.

I was hoping more for Robinson.

Robinson is great too. Either one of them would improve us significantly. I don’t see us going wrong with either choice. However, factoring in age, Murillo offers us greater longevity.

Isnt Murillo a CB? So we can get him and a LB...

Yes, he is. Personally, if we get Murillo, I’d prefer we prioritize signing a RB instead of a LB. Walker is gone. Our right side is too vulnerable.

Yeah, we have a starting LB in Gvardiol with Ake as backup and starting RB in Akanji with Walker as a backup.

So I can see the logic of prioritizing a RB over a LB.

I still want a RB who is like a CB like Akanji, whoever it is.

Isnt Murrilo injured and Aina almost signed an extension?

Unless I missed something

This summer euro's Rodri got injured and City still didn't sign somebody else to play in his role.
City has gambled for 3 seasons with Rodri and waved the warning signs away, Maybe City and Pep should have signed a hold midfielder or at least work with somebody from the youth into that role, But to play Gundogan and Kovacic knowing both are not holding midfield players is daft.

This season can not end quick enough for me and lets rebuild and get our title back

Kalvin Philips was the intended fix.

Regretably he wasnt good enough & imo, never recovered from the uneccessary public humiliation of 'fatgate'


There must be no short term solutions to fix long term problems.

Imo qualifying for the CL will constitute success this season and it is achievable but only if we can get the entire squad fit, in condition and playing close to good form.

If we cant recruit elite players at value who can go straight into the team AND improve it, we may have to gird our loins, galvanise the players and fans for the CL objective and go for it.

One last hurraaah from a wonderful group of remarkable players.
