going to get on brilliantly with stones and walker then....

Luke Mbete to Huddersfield on loan apparently. Makes sense. Don’t need six Centre backs.

They are near the bottom of the league do not sure how much game time he'll get. But puts him in the shop window I guess

He had an absolute shocker v Barca in the friendly last week it’s no wonder Pep moved quickly for CB reinforcements.
Not really here

Akanji signed and sealed. City don’t muck about. Obviously haunted by last years CB injury crisis and this years as well.

So that's 5 centre backs, 3 full backs, 2 defensive mids, Bern, Kev, Gundo, the 3 born in 2000, Mahrez and Grealish.
After all the worry about squad size that's 18 outfield players before you get on to the likes of Cole Palmer and co.

Way too early to make that sort of judgement, he's been a a curate's egg so far. Gotta be an upgrade on Steffen.

What worse than Bravo shit, then why did we bother? Could have given Joe Hart a bell.

Laporte out for another 4-6 weeks. I suppose worth it for helping us to the League title. No clear return date for Ake. No wonder we went for Kamanji.

Ake is fit and ready along with Grealish according to Pep before.

We need to keep this frontal attack of Foden , Alvarez and Haaland - if Grealish plays then it SHOULD NOT be at the expense of Foden .
THEY SAY SWEARING IS DUE TO A LIMITED VOCABULARY. I KNOW THOUSANDS OF WORDS, BUT I STILL PREFER "FUCK OFF" TO "GO AWAY"

Pep did say City couldn’t manage the forthcoming calendar with only two CBs implying that Ake wasn’t certain to be available in the near future. Stones, of course, is prone to injury and Dias was out at the end of last season.

I still would have liked a top dollar specialist full back preferably left back. Its our weakest spot. Gomez can fill in there but im unconvinced on him and would have preferred a starter to push cancelo and walker who literally have no competition now.
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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
