Don’t forget Bernardo.
Riyad Mahrez | It's part of the game innit
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
Not all that unlikely.
Brilliant player wish we had signed him
Yeah, could definitely have used him on our RW.
We really should have bought him as we needed him much more than them.
So that players create for him only so he scores ? Why don't they create for other players then ? And what about the 11 assists he made ?
Criminal underrating for Sterling imo.
No, Sanchez has been underwhelming but that's not the point of the post, the point is the idea of signing him from the start even though you have good talents but your ambition makes you still sign and strenghten with top players even if it means tougher competition for the youngster, something that people doesn't like i.e. getting time from Martial, but City are doing exactly the same and are aiming higher so keep strengthining even if it means less time for some really good players.
The moves themselves can succeed or fail but that's not my point, my point is buying top players even when you have good young talents isn't a mistake in its own. City aren't mistakes and neither were us at the time of signing Sanchez. You don't know if the player will succeed or not but you do your best in the market.
Is that what yous used to say when yous got promoted into the Premier League?
Mahrez is an better than average player who had one standout season. Good luck to them. If we'd wanted him he'd be here. Ask Sanchez.
Quality signing by City.
Last season was very good too.
Of course, that's not a mistake, but it is a mistake when the good young talents play better than the new signing, yet it is the new signing that gets to start every week. I haven't seen anyone who were complaining about the Sanchez-deal before it actually happened. However, I don't think anyone expected Sanchez to only be played only on the left wing, as there's other positions that needed replacements, and most were expecting him to play centrally or on the RW, as we swapped him with Mkhi.
City are turning into the most cringe club when it comes to marketing. Remember stand up for the champions?
He is probably used to seeing more fans for Leicester
‘Lady and gentleman, boy and girl, it’s Riyad Mahrez.’
Who the feck are the little blue gremlins jumping around? Are they a new addition or have they always been at City since it’s creation in 2010?

That's such an embarrassing unveiling for a record signing...
Crowd go "Daddy finger, daddy finger where are you"
And then Mahrez waves with his right "Here I am, here I am. How do you do?"

Exactly.
And if he didn't actually want to sign for us? We kidnap him?
That's terrible.
Not wanting to sound arrogant but why would any serious footballer chose city over United? It’s a ticking time bomb.
Lazy Wum attempt. 2/10. Try again.
Pep or money?
Really?
Decent article here from Jonathan Liew: https://www.independent.co.uk/sport...er-pep-guardiola-latest-updates-a8445861.html
Talking about the gratuitous nature of this transfer. Although that gratuitousness can apply to a lot to their transfer business really.

Their fan base is made up of gremlin looking motherfeckers so nothing new here. Stockport's finest.
This signing made a lot of sense for us, where's our right winger 
We can laugh all we want at them being plastic and a sugar daddy club etc. The reality is they have signed another quality player where they are already stacked in a posistion we are crying out to be filled. We are falling further behind.
We're not really falling behind as much as not catching up by failing to fill a position of need.
Only 2 games in but what I felt before he signed for City is showing already... not of the required standard
Will Pep be able to improve him or will he eventually find himself to be an expensive squad player...

It will probably take him at least half the season to gel with the team. It took Sane a year and a half to show any promise. He needs to work on his positioning and his pass selection. Then again Aguero has been playing under Pep for over 2 years and he still doesn't fit his idseals.
really you think he's not good enough? I maena I havent watchešd a minute in mancity jersey so cant say nothing but would think he'd settle in quickly
It's a confidence thing, he is probably feeling intimidated by all the quality players around him compared to Leicester. Once he has his first motm performance he'll become good for them.
Pep's wingers always stay very wide and do think he struggles to get involved. At Leicester he played more like a playmaker.
It's still travelling.
Embarrassing
What a nob.
Should be no more than a sub for them. He’s weakened them if anything.
He's been awful today.
