I strongly suspect the same about Lavia, who must be below Kalvin Phillips in Pep's view. I'm much happier about us buying Hall and Livramento as ex Chelsea, insert long list, than players who are ex Man City. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Cole Palmer doesn’t want to be at City what can the club do, hold him hostage ? It has nothing to do with selling young talent to fund shiny new players, your way off with your analysis.

KingArthur Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 Gordon was said to be overpriced when we paid 45 million, but a year younger Palmer with very little to show for is not? Might become a good player, but no chance for a breakthrough at that City team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prophet Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 We have Gordon and Barnes. If we've found some cash behind the sofa. It'll definetly be going on a CB or a RW. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 Pep runs a weird cult. One where everybody must be totally happy to stay. A ‘no frowns’ policy. So if you want to leave you can leave. So you stay, you smile. You take being benched. You take being out the team with a smile. Or you’re out.

The College Dropout Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 Im taking the piss a bit. But Pep isn’t known as the best man manager. You’ll find a number of ex players who criticise him. So he’s outsourced it to the players themselves. You make yourself happy. If you don’t - no bother - I’ll replace you with someone who is happy and we will keep on winning. Believe me. Because he likes a small squad and is a horses for courses guy. Yeh 85% of the squad will ‘get minutes’ but it may be too few minutes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Spaceman Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 As a fan I would find it very difficult to get too attached to any new signings. Imagine bringing in someone like Tonali and thinking he could only be here for a season or two. Can't wait to see what happens to Man City post Pep, the gap to the other 19 surely narrows.

Surely narrows aye. But every Man City manager they’ve hired has won the league. Mancini, Pellegrini. But it won’t be the same level of dominance. I hope anyway.

Well when Pep left Bayern the drop off was huge, I’m hoping we’re still competitive and challenging for the title but I can’t see it. We’re all football fans here, and we know it’s a cycle of success and non success, and we’re heading for the latter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
