Dr. Gonzo Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 Just now, Happy Blue said: Yeah i know mate, you know most my posts are tongue in cheek ..i feel we do need to improve that depth though That's probably just because you've been spoiled for depth for the last however many years - I think City are still favourites for the title this season even with the many departures. You've got lots of depth still and one of the best academies to draw young homegrown players into the first team as squad players. Obviously the more established your depth players are, the better that is for you (and the worse it is for the rest of the league) - but I still think you're in quite a comfy position going into this season.

Maybe the first 11 is strong but a few injury's and the back-ups are Ortega, Carson, Ake, Akanji, Lewis, Gomez, Cancelo, (Foden or Grealish) Phillips, Kovacic, Perrone, Palmer, Bobb, McAtee. and we might lose some of them on loan. not many game changers on the bench, i do feel we need to bring in decent replacements for Mahrez & Gundogan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Blue Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 We getting a better idea of the squad for the season now, Laporte, Cancelo, Palmer might still end up leaving but think McAtee is staying Doku & Paqueta looking likely to sign which will give us more depth Keepers:- Ederson Ortega Defenders:- Walker, Sones, Dias, Gvardiol Lewis - Akanji - Ake - Gomez Midfield:- De Bruyne - Rodrigo - Foden Paqueta - Phillips - Kovacic Forwards:- Bernardo - Haaland - Grealish Doku - Alvarez - Perrone ????:- Laporte, Palmer, Cancelo, McAtee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Blue Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 With De Bruyne's injury we might pull the trigger on Dani Olmo with summer instead of next like planned along with Paqueta & Doku Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Blue Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 (edited) Our window so far Gvardiol, Kovacic, Doku, Bernardo and another one or two incoming, made a stack on sales, City cooking! Edited August 23, 2023 by Happy Blue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Blue Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 James McAtee leaves Man City and he joins Sheffield United on loan, here we go! #DeadlineDay McAtee was tempted by Leicester as Maresca wanted him but lure of the Premier League and emotional connection to Sheffield United too much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Blue Posted September 5, 2023 Share Posted September 5, 2023 It has been reported that Barcelona are ‘upset’ with Manchester City for not allowing Bernardo Silva to sign for them this summer. This comes from Mundo Deportivo as the £43 million (GOAL) man recently penned a contract extension with City until 2026. How dare we not sell them a player they can't afford ..43million? I can see where the problems started lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
