Wasn’t a particularly great window. Doku and Josko still young and neither had Premier League experience so still hopeful on them.

Quite clearly its between josko and nunes

Nunes gets it based on

1) nobody wanted him
2) he's "prem proven "
3) he's a little birch
4) josko having to play full back

For me it's nunes. He has a lot to do to prove his worth, if he ever will.
I don't think josko deserves the strick he gets. I see a good footballer there.
He's a young centre back asked to play at left back in a totally new league and I don't think he's done too badly considering.

Needs to be discussed mate. We can’t keep having summers of signing Phillips and Nunes. Something needs to change.

Mental! Grealish has been streets ahead of all of those and has been a good signing despite his big price tag.
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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And you think us discussing it on here is going to bring about change? How about supporting the guys who wear the strip when they are struggling? Easy to cheer when all is going well, not quite so easy to get behind the guy who looks slightly off the pace or lacking a bit of skill but even more important.

:lol: Do you know how a forum works? Nothing we discuss here will bring change. But you join a forum to discuss topics related to, in this case, City.

You can be honest and discuss who hasn’t worked out (yet) and still get behind the players.

Do you get behind the players at the match? That’s the most important thing.

I know how a forum works just fine and agree that getting behind the players at the match is the most important thing. Would it not be better to suggest things that could improve the players rather than having a vote to see who the whipping boy is going to be. Nunes needs to work on bravery, his shitting it from Pickford was terrible. Gvardiol needs played at centre back. Doku needs to work on his end product. Kovacic needs to stay fit and play.

Can’t the thread be used for that?

“Kovacic hasn’t been great but I can see where he fits in with the squad and will offer an option against x, y, z”

You’ve just used this thread to do exactly that - so I can’t see why you’re getting so emotional?

Considering the standard of football City have attained over the 10yrs & the number of trophies that we've won, coupled with a steady rise in standards from winning the FA Cup in 2011 to last season's haul of btitles including World Club Champions, ther does seem to be an imbalance of negativity on the board.

It can make this place a miserable board full of far too much negativity considering the reality we find ourselves in as City fans.

IT IS BRILLIANT...HAS CONSTANTLY GOT BETTER...ISN'T JUST ABOUT TO GO TITS UP.
