Think the motivations gone. He’s won everything with city now. The CL was the final straw. Sooner or later he’ll be after a new challengeWill he walk before he's sacked?
Not sure there are any remaining clubs that match the only type of environment in which he can work (top players in all positions or the money to sign them).Think the motivations gone. He’s won everything with city now. The CL was the final straw. Sooner or later he’ll be after a new challenge
Gvaridol has been fine,, when Stones is back and we have a CB pushing into midfield its necessary to have a CB on the left and a CB or Walker on the right so we can make a back 3. A couple of times he's been asked to play as a traditional LB but not nearly as often as people think. For the most part with everyone fit, we play without full backs in possession.They have no one else to play at left back instead of Guardiol? Pretty shocking decision that he's spent so much money on him and play him there, but I wouldn't be surprised it's one of his genius ideas when he becomes bored and try to invent new stupid things/realises that the team is struggling and wants a way out.
He hasn't been fine, he plays as classic full back more often than not. Last night he was shite and he played as classic fullback.Gvaridol has been fine,, when Stones is back and we have a CB pushing into midfield its necessary to have a CB on the left and a CB or Walker on the right so we can make a back 3.

Against Chelsea Akani played in midfield and Gvaridol was very much a 3rd CB. He did have a terrible game though.He hasn't been fine, he plays as classic full back more often than not. Last night he was shite and he played as classic fullback.
Draw against Chelsea - average position same as Walker, classic fullback position and also your worst rated player.
Draw against Crystal Palace - average position higher than Walker, pretty much as a forward - your second worst rated player
Draw against Spurs - 3 at the back, but his average position is highest out of any back 5 players, and on par as worst rated players with two more
That's just few games I have checked and from what I can remember as they were recent. He's been pointless signing so far, except for making up the numbers. He also made so many goal mistakes, reminds me of Stones first season or two when you signed him.
Squaddie? Only Dias and Walker have more appearances in our defence this season? 16 of the 20 PL games That would suggest he's very much first team. He also played all the important CL games and was rested for the easier ones.And this is where city's cheating shows. No one else would spend 78m for a player to be used as a makeshift squaddie. if it doesn't work, they'll spend another 60m on a different player this summer. It's not hard to get it right when you have infinite tries.
Not like you guys haven't spent 60m on Keita and 50m on Gakpo. 90m Darwin is hardly a nailed starter either.And this is where city's cheating shows. No one else would spend 78m for a player to be used as a makeshift squaddie. if it doesn't work, they'll spend another 60m on a different player this summer.

Jesus christ.Will he walk before he's sacked?
Your record signing could well rise to a higher fee than Gvardiol.And this is where city's cheating shows.

I wonder if a Barca return is in his plans, he's done virtually everything in club football, going back to Barca to make them great once more is about the only thing he could do that's worth a damn.Wins Manager of the Year with City, openly flirts with Barca. Strange man.

They are paying for him as a medium-long term signing. He's 21; their other CBs are 29, 28, and 26. He'd be in his prime when some of those players are leaving theirs.And this is where city's cheating shows.

Isn't Txiki Begiristain the brains?He'll get exposed for the fraud he is now that the brain has jumped ship.
Txiki was just the puppet. Omar was pulling the strings all along.Isn't Txiki Begiristain the brains?
he knows the guy left, because despite all of their tainted success, a failing United is still leagues and leagues above city in terms of importance and stature. Theyre a novelty franchise of the middle-east, not a serious club.Tweet

Your delusion is off the scale.he knows the guy left, because despite all of their tainted success, a failing United is still leagues and leagues above city in terms of importance and stature. Theyre a novelty franchise of the middle-east, not a serious club.
TLDR; still a plastic clubYour delusion is off the scale.
Years ago this forum claimed Pep is a traditionalist and would never join a "plastic" club like City. I insisted he was coming and was roundly poo-poohed
United really had better succeed in this new era with Ratcliffe and Brailsford plus whoever they can steal from other clubs to replace their recent dunces or there really are no excuses left for their slide down the list of blue chip clubs.
The bar is high and it'll take more than Berrada, Ashworth and your new part owners to clear it.
Like you systematically did with Barca?Your delusion is off the scale.

Tell us about the internal staff that you didn’t steal who are instrumental to your success….Your delusion is off the scale.

Soriano and Bergiristain left Barca of their own volition.Tell us about the internal staff that you didn’t steal who are instrumental to your success….
Whereas United put a gun to Berradas head, tied him up and threw him in the back of a van.Soriano and Bergiristain left Barca of their own volition.
City didn't steal them.
Once appointed they and the ignored but vital piece of the jigsaw Khaldoon al Mubarak oversaw many smart appointments in jobs a level or two below them.
He left for a promotion and a raise like most of us would.Whereas United put a gun to Berradas head, tied him up and threw him in the back of a van.
You dont honestly believe he left for a payrise do you? City pay the highest wages in the world and could have easilly have offered him the same or more than we did.He left for a promotion and a raise like most of us would.
He'd also leave you if another top team offered him a package.
He's a businessman not a football diehard
