Yeah, Mourinho wouldnt sell us a bucket of his own piss if he thought it was a possibility that it could come in handy. No way is he goving us Martial

No we didnt. Matic was absolutely rubbish at it and constantly list the ball under when teams employed a high press. Its why Conte had Luiz do the dame job, he moved up from his CB spot into a DLP role and Matic «Covered» for him. That was what we were missing last year, Luiz and his ability to distribute the ball from a deep position

In what world are they similar players? Not that Sterling is going to be available, Pep loves him.

Cant remember a transfer I wanted to not happen as much as this one. Hes going to absolutely tank in the PL.

Tomorrow as in today? Not many hours left mate

The anpunt of money exchanged increases with the money earned. There was aleays going to be an increase in prizes of players when clubs started makkng more money. Its the basic concept of an inflated marked. If Im not mistaken, Stan Collymore is still the most expensive player in the premier league when factoring in club income

Roma know they can take us to the cleaners though, really dont have much of a choice if we want a goalkeeper besides Caballero this year. Everyone knows we are desperate due to the Courtois situation and Roma has no incentive to sell so they quote us with a ridiculous figure. We have put us in this situation ourselves by planning extremely poorly

If any if you think Lukaku is a stat padder, this guy is even worse. Couldnt hit the broadside of a barn in any meaningful game

If only those were qualities Sarri gave a lick about. Sarri is all about ability on the ball, being able to quickly pass and move, being tactically astute and having the ability to be in the right position at the right time. Pretty much everything Baka sucks at

Dont know anything avout this kid, but If hes goibg to turn out like Sterling Id love to have him.

Wasnt near the end, it was at half time. He was awful as well so might have been a tactical sub

Like I said, an #8, problem with that is we would need someone else in that midfield to provide an attacking outlet since the #8 usually have that trait. Could be that RLC makes that position his, but I have my doubts

Wonder were that leaves Kanté, both players prefer to play as a #6 but in completely different ways. Maybe as a #8 in a 3 man midfield. Pretty sure the two man pivot is dead for now

Lmao he had like a couple of decent games and then he was put firmly on the bench, in the end he had to be recalled for not getting minutes

Gonna take a while for him to get us up to speed, Sarri ball is a long way from how Conte had us play

The one he put the ball in 23 times this season

Put a fifty om Sterling to score today, its gonna happen

To be fair, we arent much better

Thats exactly why hes playing, hes a goal threat and when he is on hes brilliant. Had a rough go so far, but killed the game yesterday with great movement and an excellent finish. Its not like theres anyone better sitting om the bench

Spot om from Pep. He also creates a lot of room from Kane by moving his movements. He is constantly going for 90 minutes and his offensive runs are class and not something thats easy to replace, so far he had been a bit unlucky for me, Im fairly confident he will get his goal in of the coming games, for me he is an absolute must start and one of the first names Iv had on the sheet, even if he has to play out of position as he does

Probably because our season ended 3 days ago and our current manager is still employed

I think we can all agree this comes with alot of risk. But the players central to City winning the title last year who werent already in the squad when Pep joined: Ederson and Sané. Lets not act like he bought 11 new players. He transformed the team with players already in place. Ade KdB a wirld class central midfielder and turned Sterling into one of the vest wingers in the league

Anyways. Would welcome Sarri here with open arms. Not sure we would win much, but our matches would be fun to watch again. This quote also makes me think he wouldnt throw a fit over over our transfers: Maurizio Sarri on Transfer Market] . "Transfer Market is the refuge of the weak. It is for those who can't train their players. I'm a coach. Give me a group of players ...

Just goes to show managers shouldnt have final say on buying players. Conte has a terrible record bringing players in yet for some reason folks thinks he should have more say

The days of the manager having final say in players brought in and out are over. If Conte expected that then there has been some severe miscommunication going on. But then again thats the reason he left Juve so he has a history there. Considering the performance of the two players he wanted and got he should be treading carefully
