One of the worst signings we have made in decades.

Even Mangala had a great first game. All downhill from there but you could see why he’d been bought. Mendy had the occasional good game. Phillips has looked totally out of his depth and I’ve not seen one positive thing from him. Doesn’t even look arsed, which is the most concerning thing. Heart is a big part of it with Pep - and we’re talking about a guy that came back from the WC overweight!!!

I'd like us to sign James Maddison.

Was watching Sky Sports last night and in the right of the screen they were scrolling through “top scorers”….”most assists” etc and on one of them it had James Maddison and under his name had “Man City” listed as his club.
Most probably a typo but you never know ;) was the only mistake on all the lists

He's not suitable for us, skilful player but with a very poor injury record and an unpleasant personality.

I've seen a few reports suggesting Walker's going to be a target for a few clubs in the summer (with Sheff Utd being one of them regularly mentioned). There's definitely a downward trend in his playing time, but should we sell, or keep for another season (possibly letting him go on a free at the end of next season)?

I'd be in favour of keeping him, and trying to get him to sign a one-year extension, on the understanding that he's by no means a starter, and will be mainly featured in the cups and last couple of games of the CL group stages. If he doesn't want to sign for another year, I'd accept letting him go on a free at the age of 34.

I'd go along with this idea. We've seen his heir apparent in Rico and he has the potential to make that position his own. Guess it's over to Kyle, would he be happy with the bit-part role. Pep is on record saying Walker cannot play the inverted role so his game time is already limited and I cannot see him learning that role

Loads of legs left in the tank for walker and loads of games for him to play.

He will pocket vinicius jr in the cl just watch.

He has at least another two years as a valuable squad member left in him and then at least a year in a withdrawn role.
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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I wouldn't want to lose Walker just yet. Still not seen anyone outpace him yet even if he is 32

Agree that they are all worth keeping but we do look at the contracts wirh a business head on when a player gets older. I'd love us to keep Gundo but we may not offer the extension in terms of duration that he wants. Any team would happily take all three of these

Walker and Gundo want to stay but they'll only be offered 1 year deals as per we've always done on that age bracket.I think that's the stumbling block with Gundo as he wants 2.
Bernie is different, he wants to go

Walker has 2 years at least left in his tank fitness wise. The issue is becoming more what Pep now wants from his full backs in terms of positioning and passing. And Pep has already alluded to this.

But as a character in the dressing room and his experience and knowledge and know how of how City tick, he is 100% worth keeping next year and beyond.

Lewis may or may not be ready to take on his mantle just yet and by keeping Walker around he can continue to learn from him

Gundog is the same. A model professional who has been there and done it numerous times. A guy who still has a couple of years left. Think how much our Academy boys will be learning from him. He is a winner and if you can’t learn from old pros like that then you will have a short career. I could easily see him going into coaching and why wouldn’t we want to be the beneficiaries of that?

Silva is a guy who we all love for lots of reasons. But his case is different in that he isn’t coming to the end of his career like Walker and Gundog. It’s well publicised he is courting a move elsewhere due to his personal life. Is he worth keeping? Yes of course. But only if his heart is really in it as a guy not 100% focused isn’t going to do well at City.

But how many guys out there that are obtainable that can replace those three? Not many I’d wager

Brighton close in on Milner. WTF?! They’ve got a decent team. I genuinely don’t see what he offers and I didn’t when he was here
