i guess it's easy to say now with hindsight, but I guess it was a calculated gamble and he'd been great at forest

apparently can't because he's already played for two clubs this season

ah yeah, I get you, shocking the death threats were

Did a great job today leading the line, stretching the game and giving us a constant presence in the box. did anyone think the relationship was broken? he's always worked his socks off whenever he's com...

I have come to consider that football is a namby pamby wishy washy cry baby game that has gone woke. those guys ain't dumb they might get a blister on the little toe they might get a blister on their bum What about a real man's game rugby where the hand off is part and parcel of the game. Not a lim...

the man city academy must be one of the best in the world in terms of facilities and coaches

Players like Brahim Diaz and Sancho were poached from other academies, not produced by them. Only really Cole Palmer was a bonafide academy product they sold for big money and that's cause Chelsea overpay. it obviously takes a long time to overhaul your academy, in terms of players coming through f...

Name the myriad of youngsters to have come through the City academy? They have been hoovering up the best youngsters from Lancashire and Yorkshire for years with arguably little to show for it. there's an absolute boatload of players - some who've been there throughout their youth careers (not too ...

Yet our academy has produced more internationals than they have. Foden is a local lad, so was always going to be thrust him into the team, to make him the face of the club and justify the money they spent on facilities. The ones they've poached like Sancho, Delap, Gyabi, Gorman will fall by the way...

It's not negative imo but some may see it that way. He is an extremely average Championship manager who fell into an ideal situation at Norwich with a player like Buendia who could carry him. You can see why he is officially the worst manager in Premier League history whose managed 25 games or more...

poor from farke today, still v happy with him generally, but playing same set of players today and not making any changes at HT were big mistakes

was a big criticism of him in germany

well he's getting done most times by miller, help from james or not, he needs to be doing better

no real criticism of gray, he's not a fullback and going to struggle against certain wingers

HT, I'd switch gray and spence around and probably put byram on for gray. Get a bit more freshness upfront too

gray needs to come off, had a very poor half against miller

told ya! let's hope he's not too tired now!

Always tempting the lure of a 'big' club but you are more likely to develop at a club lower down the league, more game time, which is genuinely important. Look at all the youngsters Chelsea have ruined over the years and for all their investments in scouting and facilities, City bring through very ...

Signing a left back and a number 10 wouldn't be 3 players for each position. We don't have a natural left back (unless you count Firpo) or a natural 10. We have cover but if you have gaps in the first 11 then they should be a priority, those 2 are gaps. Spence was signed to play right back and Byra...

Apart from cm as that's the only position where we're light
