I blame the kids. Too busy being pesky online.

Pity that lifts out of order

You could disagree if that was what I said. That team gives us the best chance of starting where we left off. With better prospects coming through when they are ready.

Could have a role to play next season. If we're winning comfortably, bringing him on to protect Wilson, or a new signing, would be a sensible move. Getting rid means we need two new forwards which might push the budget too far. Dunno. Until I see signings I'm sticking with evolution, not revolution.

When we're attacking like this it allows ASM and Trippier the freedom to take chances, as they have Almiron and Joelinton who can press any counter attack in the space that they leave behind. It might be risky but risky is exciting.

Got nowt to do with my aims. W should aim as high as possible and if any new signings aren't quite ready to start then there is no need to put them under extra pressure. It's a lot to ask a new signing to hit the deck running after one pre-season. With Cannibaga I don't think there'll be much of a issue. I've been addicted to CIV 6 for the past month so everything is being perceived in that context. Cannibaga, would be like settling a new city, right in the middle of all your religious cities, his relationship to Bruno, and Bruno's relationship with the others. but all the other transfers are going to be like conquered cities. Need to spend a bit of time repairing the granaries and monuments., before they start to contribute to your growth.

I wouldn't sell him but I'd be happy if we got both Targett and Lodi, with Lodi given the opportunity to challenge ASM as well as Targett.

I'm hoping to see similar discussions that surrounded Bruno delayed introduction. 12 consecutive wins from the start of season and Diaby can't oust 11 time MOTM Almiron from the first team would suit me fine.

I just think starting the season with that 11, will keep the momentum going from last season and I wouldn't be worried. I do hope we'd have better in reserve and if those players are primed to take a first team place in the near future, all the better. I'm setting my sights low, but I'm sure they'll be surpassed.

I don't disagree, just saying I'd be happy with that. I imagine it would look like this in attack Dubs Schar Burn Targett Bruno Trippier Almiron Cannibaga Joelinton ASM Wilson

On the basis of performanes last season, I'd be more than happy with this starting 11. Dubs Trippier Schar Burn Targett Bruno Joelinton Cannibaga Almiron Wilson ASM I'd climb a mountain for Cannibaga and we have our St.Bruno to help us.

I know we see a lot of people outed so it seems like they all are, but I reckon you'd be surprised how many are left alone. I'm convinced it's only a certain type of gay that is hounded. As discussed in another thread, the male of the species exists at both ends of the gender spectrum, Macho men and effeminate. It stands to reason this would also be true within the gay community. No evidence but I wouldn't be surprised if there were a lot of your typical homophobic, in the closet gays working in the media, particularly in Gassa's time. When things were a lot less acceptable. Maybe why they hounded out the effeminate type, and painted them as the typical homosexual, to divert the attention from themselves. Although in truth I just think he's never admitted it to himself.

A supercomputer that uses the bookies' odds as a guide.

Looks like Topcashback has improved it's offers.

Always thought it was a possibility.

Aye, but Morgan now has his own show where he invites them on once they recover.

Similar to the Almiron deal.

I can't be sure but I don't think they had to provide the number for 999.

Yeah, that was the point I came to make but it got lost in the edit. City have the luxury of giving players the time to settle. I hope it's a model we adapt.

Nah, you've just misinterpreted the tone of my comment. It happens lets let it go.

In fairness to Grealish, this was his first season at City and he did alright. I think comparing him to KDB is unfair, I'd compare him to Mahrez who arrived under similar circumstances but took a year to establish himself. I know Marhez did better in his first season than Grealish and maybe that is telling, but we'll see.

Replacing him isn't a priority but it's the one position where we lack cover, so I think we'll certainly be buying a left footed CB. Botman is the name being thrown about and we've certainly retained our interest. If we can get a RW starter and back-up forward for a similar price [asssuming it's 30 mill] we'll have done a good job. Of course if we go out and spend 200 mill this summer then a lot of decision making will be eliminated.

I'm assuming Messi gets all the awards in La Liga. But I don't know. I think if it's not somebody that is recognised on the world stage it makes it look like we don't have the best players in the world.

Have we just forgotten the occasion that the beeb ran, as it's top headline during an election campaign that saw the Johnson hide in a fridge, how some tory had been assaulted by some leftie?

Oh aye. i know that. i meant a 4411 but some people call it 442.
