Equally bizarre he'd go to City to be back up for Doku Unless he reckons (or has been assured) he'd be 1st choice at Spurs Anyway now Barcola seems done I think he'll be sold to fund Minteh or another RW, which I think is right for balance but affects squad depth and quality

...It's a travesty It's a travesty of a mockery of a sham of a mockery of a travesty of two mockeries of a sham

Agree never sell to City,.. just noting if anyone spunks 90mill on a player only to replace them in one season it's them

Manchester City

Where he's lacking is in mentality imo... he's not a big character, he's struggled to impose himself, you can tell he feels the pressure. It could mean he wont make it here but the talent is undeniable, he see's passes others dont.. If Iraola doesn't think its worth building around fair enough, he'll continue to shrink, be called a write off and sold...but I bet he does It's not even buying to complement him it's getting the right players for a coherent system...2 proper wingers and a good DM would make a huge difference

We were better than Newcastle but crucially we are missing an elite midfielder (since Macs decline) and teams can still breeze through the middle seemingly at will, we were done the same way by worse teams multiple times last season

I thought we difinitely tried to move it forward quicker than Slotball, there wasn't a lot of side to side passing at the back or in the middle ...Grav was trying to break the lines, Wirtz too but so few options for him. The energy was improved, they seemed to run more. These were all small indications of what Iraola wants I think ...I've mellowed a bit since yesterday, think some of the criticism of Wirtz and Isak are a bit over the top. Kept imagining Barcola delivering that ball to Isak for a tap in, his movement was ok ...and on Wirtz, he's just not the big character everyone wants him to be, he does need to be accomodated to a degree, proper wingers stretching the game would really help that

Every team in the league will be delighted to see that you can still stroll through our midfield no bother Whats wrong with a DM?..are they out of vogue?..why can everyone except Dick Hughes see that we need a defensive midfielder?

Similar to Spurs last season, everyone injured, they played the dinner lady and the kit man and we still shat the bed

Rio is not ready. Could Munoz work there? So frustrating, just buy us a f***ing RW you pricks

Top 5 Arsenal Liverpool Chelsea Spurs City Bottom 3 Sunderland Ipswich Hull FA cup - Liverpool League Cup - Chelsea Champions League - Barca Top scorer (joint) - Isak/Joao Pedro 1st sacking - whoever's at Forest

He's a top level right footed pro footballer who plays on the wing, why cant he beat his man and fire balls into Isak with his right peg

Why not play Gakpo on the right, didnt he play right wing for PSV?

I think Barcola gets done for 130mill, and we sell Gakpo for 80

Maybe Szoboszlai is just really annoying

Just make sure he's doing broncos and Milner style bleep tests the whole time and not sat on his a*** refreshing twitter like Isak was last season

Well in fairmess he is, and always has been since early childhood a massive Real Madrid fan

Ah right Hope we get Barcola but who plays RW? ...Rio?

Who are the top rated available right wingers? I think we need a dedicated RW Minteh always looks good when I watch him, hasn't he been linked? ...or Rodrygo, gone a bit quiet on him

Ah that's so sad Rip Kevin a great player and a good man

Jesus that's awful , poor family

Vic-torrrr, is doin it for the reds Standing on his own, Muñoz And banging in goals aswell Victor is doin it for the reds

I'm sold on Diomande, he was brilliant v Ecuador a team who's best players are defenders, gave them hell. Looks Doku level, but faster

Are you earring anything about this transfer? He'd be aural good replacement for Konate

It's Rio
