The same applies to De Bruyne, and City generally - hollow, soulless efficiency. Aguero, Toure and Silva had something special about them, whereas this team is dull. Even the selfish pure #9s of previous eras like Van Nistelrooy and Shearer had an enticing wow factor about them. This fella has...

Literally 6 years down the line - they should have been suspended from the league until it was resolved, it might have made them comply and present this irrefutable evidence they have sooner.

De Laurentiis of Napoli said they made him an offer for Cavani that would be a smaller official fee, plus another large amount off the books aswell. Silly irrelevant little zombie club, who literally sold their soul and place in the league to Abu Dhabi. CiTeH died in 2008.

His posture made him look good on the ball but he seldom did anything productive with it, whereas Vidic looked rigid but was more consistent in playing simple balls forward into the midfielders ahead of him.

Rio Ferdinand was an elite ball playing defender; in reality his passing was mediocre, and Vidic and Evans were far better at progressing the ball in that era.

Play Eriksen or McTominay in the #10 and the team will function better.

*allegedly* another 25 charges on the way for the Arabian proxy club from 2018 onwards. They’re going to end up playing in the Power League

Quite a few of them I know reckon he’d better ‘watch his back’. Something about their dictator having the capability to do whatever he wants.

Guehi, Branthwaite, Paulinha, Kenneth Taylor, Cole Palmer, Sane, Toney. Allow Trippier to join and captain his boyhood club, while grooming Mason Mount to succeed him as a rightback.

This version of him needs it to be 2002 so he could be the lazy, creative one in the ‘2’ of a 4-4-2; him and Hojlund would actually compliment each other. As a left winger though, it’s far too late.

I heard from someone who works for that lot that there’s been internal rumors that Guardiola is resigning after the Club World Cup. Jumping ship now to distance himself as much as possible from inevitable sanctions perhaps?

Abu Dhabi have money and power, City are merely the dead zombie vessel for them.

Actually think he’d make a brilliant right back with his attributes - the only way to salvage the signing IMO.

He should have stayed at Brentford who were using him correctly and played a role befitting of his talent, rather than playing out of position to accommodate a stat-padding shambles in Bruno. If Ten Hag had a backbone he’d bench Bruno and Casemiro until they can go and mercenary in Saudi in...
