Mr Cancelo back for preseason I believe, say that was a shade awkward.

Loan to Barcelona in the offing. With our usual stitch up clause of compulsory purchase afterwards. Barcelona love kicking financial cans down the road!

I read somewhere yesterday that we have told Barca that no more business until they cough up the outstanding £40m from the Torres sale?

I wouldn't loan them a tea bag until they pay up. Certainly would not even think of loaning them Cancelo. It might be Saudi for him.

No pics at all of the boys yet, very odd. Anyway today we get to know who is on the plane - Felix, Valverde? Kimmich? What do they think in Hampshire I wonder?

Really weird there’s been no pics yet. They usually do a video of the players coming back and put it on the YouTube channel.

From MUEN: "No players have posted about pre-season since their return on Monday, and no footage or photos have been released by the club, so Cancelo's post makes him the first to take to social media this week. However, the Portuguese's post makes no mention of City, and instead has a cryptic message.
Cancelo had been training before City reported back, joining international teammate and Manchester United midfielder Bruno Fernandes in a camp alongside Declan Rice and Rafael Leao."

also

"James McAtee, Oscar Bobb Dire Mebude Nico O'Reilly Alex Robertson, Jadel Katongo, Max Alleyne, Lakyle Samuel, Tom Galvez -and midfielder Josh Adam could all be on the flight to Tokyo if Guardiola looks towards the academy".

It must be a club decision and directive to players and staff not to post anything. Cant imagine why.

Flight departs in 90 mins and we still don't know who'll be on board

Giving Yokohama a miss this year. Just can't see myself having a quiet sake at a pavement cafe

The big surprise is Kevin to be honest. Surely not fit to play. No agreement yet on Walker but Mahrez is gone.

Probably there for promotional reasons

Good shout

James working hard preseason

Opposition was pretty good as well
Eddy, Stones, Dias, Ake, Gomez, Bernardo, Phillips, Grealish, Haaland, Bobb, McAtee - Cancelo? even KDB

Bernie has shaved his head. His Mrs has probably forced him to do that and get a number tattooed on his wrist - “get that full ‘you’re stuck in his shitty camp and you’re not leaving’ effect”
