If Tuchel continues with the likes of Walker, Herderson etc. He's going to end up shit creek

Clubs want a premium for their players. Which is understandable but in this PSR world. Most clubs need to box clever and can't really afford to splash the cash. All to protect the Sky 6. Hopefully City win their next APT case

Wilson was getting on ahead of Osula which we could all see wasn’t the right decision. My worry, even with a pay as you play type deal is that would still be the case.

PSR has absolutely killed the transfer market outside of the Sky 6. Just like intended.

Christ, Delaney’s such an insufferable prat.

This is why signing anyone decent from the Prem is a non starter, as clubs wants silly money. I'm sure it's Howe's preference but it just doesn't make sense financially.

Another PSR deal perhaps? Willock and 25m for Elanga?

He's absolutely done man. Christ, we're still far too much a soft touch with stuff like this.

I grabbed a vip ticket for a couple hundred quid and tried blending in by utilising pigeon German, until i realised i was sat next to another Geordie from North Shields and we both decided to drop the undercover act. Dortmund fans were sound tbf but obviously we didn't really lay a glove on them so maybe it could've been different if Joelinton took his chance.

It's still absolutely laughable tbh. I remember plenty trying to say it was a red. Absolute bollocks.

Shocking sub from Howe tbh

First time i've felt that this Tuchel experiment could really fall on it's arse. Henderson over Wharton. A shot Kyle Walker that City got rid of and Milan don't want to sign perm. Inherent Chelse bias. Just reeks of short termism but not even the kind that you could kind of justify.

I agree but let's keep him under the radar for another season because i genuinely think he's that good, that we'll end up with the likes of Real and Barcelona sniffing around.

That's just a facile point. How did Haaland score so many goals for Man City? Through good service and his team mates creating things for him. He's clearly not 100% fit but when the options are a finished Wilson and a raw Osula. You stick with Isak.

He’s been very unlucky and we can’t write him off yet but he really needs a full season without any major absences next season like.

Exactly. We’ve also not created any clear cut chances for him.

I kinda enjoy not being the story. We just go about our business and take care of it quietly.

I was sat middle tier Gallowgate for Fulham and won’t sit there again if I can help it.

If we get rid at 20m. We've done so well because he looked consistently poor to average for us and is now not pulling up trees with Juventus. Not sure who sanctioned this signing because even on a free it looks like poor business. Well, until Juve took the bullet that is.

I’m hoping all this stuff about Liverpool being average champions, had it easy etc actually gets them in the mindset to finish strong.

He’s finished at this level man. Would be a poor decision from the club.

That is true. The fee didn’t help when in same window. Arsenal signed Pires for 6m, Leeds signed Viduka for the same & Chelsea got Gudjohnsen for around 4m.

He put himself about and looked okay early on but I just remember him getting that hamstring injury and then after that he struggled to stay fit for any sustained period of time.

7m for Carl Cort man. Still annoys me to this day.

I don't think Maresca is the right manager to get the best out of him tbh.
