Happy Blue 1,897 Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 (edited) Manchester City have confirmed the signing of the goalkeeper Ederson from Benfica. The 23-year-old Brazilian has cost €40m (£34.7m) and becomes Pep Guardiola’s second signing of the summer after the midfielder Bernado Silva. Ederson’s fee is a British record for a goalkeeper but is eclipsed by the €53m Juventus paid Parma for Gianluigi Buffon in 2001. He will formally join City on 1 July, when the transfer window opens. “I like everything about Manchester City,” he told the club’s website. “This is a great club, the league they have here in England and they have amazing fans and they play splendid football. I have always had the dream to play in English football and now I’m going to make it true. “With Pep Guardiola, City are growing more and more. He is putting in place a young team for the future. Those were important factors in making my decision. Manchester City has an amazing squad. I think they managed to have a good season. Next season, we will have to be focused to achieve the goal of winning trophies.” https://www.theguardian.com/football/2017/jun/08/manchester-city-sign-benfica-goalkeeper-ederson Edited June 8, 2017 by Happy Blue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It must be dissapointing for Claudio Bravo too, he came to Manchester with a lot of hype after his success with Barcelona but has really struggled to find his form and now finds himself as the number two. I wonder if he will push for a move himself in an effort to regain some of the performances from yesterday? One of them will be out the door and the other will be back up as Caballero has gone too ..hopefully Hart will fight for the number one spot and Bravo gets sold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny 2,201 Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Cannot see Hart contemplating playing back up to this guy, brought in for big money so obviously planned for the #1 shirt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He left in 2001 and still holds the record as the most expensive transfer, you'd have thought someone would have come along and switched for a higher fee by now. 16 years ago, thats like 100million in todays market 10 minutes ago, Danny said: Cannot see Hart contemplating playing back up to this guy, brought in for big money so obviously planned for the #1 shirt. We should of kept Caballero, decent keeper ..think Chelsea are after him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Blue 1,897 Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 (edited) Sanchez will link up with former boss Pep Guardiola - who managed him at Barcelona, according to respected Chilean journalist Fernando Solabarrieta, via the Sun. Gunners striker Sanchez is out of contract in north London at the end of next season and is yet to agree a new deal. Sanchez scored 30 times and set up 19 more but couldn't help the Gunners qualify for the Champions League. Sanchez is currently on international duty with Chile - where he assisted Mauricio Isla during a 1-1 draw with Russia. City have already bagged winger Bernardo Silva in a £43m move from Monaco but are ready to splash the cash after a frustrating season where they finished third. https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/alexis-sanchez-brink-switching-arsenal-10596592 Sterling to play full back?? ..we are getting a bit top heavy ...might want to buy some defenders Pep, as it stands we only have 1 senior full back (Kolarov) and he's past his best Ederson Sterling ____ Kompany ______ Sane De Bruyne - Gundogan - Silva Sanchez____ Jesus______Bernardo Aguero You score 10, we score 12??

robosys 6 Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 Damn that was funny but in the Barcelona match, De Bruyne actually played full back and Sterling end product is crap though, wouldn't be surprised if he played full back, might be the new Carvajal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Independent) He obviously wants away, but I don't know if he'd make the sideways step to Man City just for some extra money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 Meet Manchester City's new affiliate, based in Guayaquil, Ecuador. They were originally River Ecuador but are now Guayaquil City FC to be the Citizens first affiliate in South America and 3rd (I believe) after Melbourne and New York City. Why Ecuador? No clue. I guess Argentina and Brazil weren't easy choices for the top flight, but I would have expected Uruguay for more quality footballers or Colombia for a bigger population. There have been more Ecuadorians in England in the past decade, so that could've have been a factor. There are rumours that they aren't affiliated to City at all, but I'm not believing it as they have "City" in their name in a Spanish speaking country and their crest screams them out. It seems odd that River would just randomly change to that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber RandoEFC+ 7,644 Posted July 22, 2017 Subscriber Share Posted July 22, 2017 https://streamable.com/5pk91 Some interesting comments from Samuel Eto'o on Guardiola and also Mourinho. I'd take anything he says with a massive pinch of salt though given that he reportedly spent half his time in the Everton changing rooms trying to convince players that they should move to bigger clubs, cunt.

Machado 1,710 Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 PEP THANKS BOARD FOR LANDING BERNARDO Pep Guardiola has thanked the Manchester City board for all their work in helping to secure the summer signing of Bernardo Silva. The Portuguese midfielder emerged as one of European football's most sought-after players last season during Monaco's march to the French league title and semi-finals of the Champions League. And the 22-year-old subsequently became the first of City's summer signings, signing a five-year contract with the Club. Having linked up with his new team-mates last week after being on international duty with Portugal earlier this summer, Bernardo made his City debut in last Friday's 3-0 pre-season win over West Ham in Iceland, coming on as a second half substitute. And as the build-up to Saturday's Premier League opener away at Brighton continues, Guardiola revealed how grateful he was to the City board for their work in clinching the signing of Bernardo. "I'm so grateful - thanks so much to the club for picking him up," said the City manager. "Bernardo played his first minutes and he was immediately ready to play. Intelligent players don't need time to be involved in the way we want to play. "Bernardo is a guy who loves football, who lives 24 hours thinking about the game. I like that. He is a humble guy - he's so intelligent, which is a huge quality. Close to the box he has the quality to score a lot of goals and he's a fighter too so he's going to help us during the season." https://www.mancity.com/news/first-team/first-team-news/2017/august/pep-guardiola-praise-for-bernardo-silva-signing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a walking sick note these days and has been for a few seasons now. @Happy Blue They can't move on from Kompany, he's the only decent defender they have. I would go so far as to say unless they keep him some what healthy they won't win the league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
