I thought i was the only one banging that drum!!! If we dont strengthen it we wont win the league imo. Good to see others can see it too. Not even been linked to one is worrying.
derby day the scores were level,
then the goat was fed by neville,
silly boy should know for sure,
feed the goat and he will score!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We had early links to Fabinho, then more recently and depressingly William Carvalho. Maybe we've still got an outside chance with Julian Weigl - better ask phips.

His haircut is just too stupid.
Likewise, I wouldn't mind Nainggolan, if it weren't for his hair and his lame neck tattoo. At 29, he's a bit on the old side as well.

Maybe thats the issue there isnt one available. Look at the rags looking at matic and dier, matic is prob the best available and doesnt do anything for me.
Its part of the reason i thought loaning out alex garcia was wrong but im working on delph and fernando going. If they hang about i guess we can use them. Not ideal though.

There's only really Toni Kroos that I think would be available that I'd have.

glad you asked, mate.
i dont see how there's any chance Dortmund sell. Weigh just signed a new deal and Dortmund have zero reason to sell.
plus, he's recovering from a broken ankle and will be out for awhile. although, signing injured players/injury-prone players seems to be no issue for the club nowadays.
I'm not really a City fan. I'm just here for attention.

Ive seen him a few times JC. He's terrible. Think Javi Garcia but ten times worse. Dortmund fans are keen for the club to let him go but apparently he's just signed a new deal.

Maybe Foden could go bald and be our hardman?

Isn't he 12? He probably is bald, just not on his head.

Got abuse for saying it last season. Nothing has changed we still need another but we won't get one.

Are the footballing gods that kind?
Or is Conte that crazy, wanting to sign Llorente ??

Neymar decides to stay at Barca. What a surprise. PSG humiliated and won't get Sanchez either.

Heavy briefing against Nasri by Club and players. Arrogant attitude and Club can't wait to get rid of him. Mistake to bring him on tour it seems.

Seems like Samir has disappointed the Spafia, probably turned down a move to the back of beyond somewhere.
Now the knives are out and he's the ham on the spike

Weren't they asked to pay his buyout price of £200m? Get Mbappe for half that.

Been saying we should've signed Witsel for 3 years now. Think de Jong but with natural talent.
