Vancvillan Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 8 minutes ago, Genie said: Probably the right decision for City. As a free agent they’d have to match enormous wages. He’s getting more niggly injuries now too. Give him a bit of a send off, and bring in new blood. Haaland? 100% the right call. But how terrifying is it to think of them with Haaland? I think he'll tear up the Prem (though I thought the same of Werner so it shows how wrong I am). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villan-scott Posted March 29, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted March 29, 2021 What a player he’s been for them over the years. Really one of the key players to get them to the level they are now at. I think they’ll go big for a striker in the summer, and they’ll be absolutely terrifying! Maybe Haaland, or Mbappe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted May 29, 2021 Author Share Posted May 29, 2021 Peptastic tactics as usual. Without an all time superstar selection he struggles to win the big one Chelsea were there to be smashed think lost 4 in the last 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greenfly Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 Weird as it may be, I think the gravity of the occasion got to them tonight. It was probably the biggest game in the club's entire history, and they just couldn't handle it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defence in particular were brilliant tonight City were poor though, zinchenko at LB didn't pay off he was out of his depth, no striker thing I think is more due to aguero being finished and jesus being bang average rather than some clever as **** tactic, KDB going off was obviously huge but they'd created nothing with him anyway Hard to imagine that tonight they had creativity issues, anyone who said "they don't even need grealish" in the last week... But if they spend £100m this summer it's got to be a striker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can smash your Burnleys, Everton, Wolfsburg all you want but this big teams bring him to win the big one Edited May 29, 2021 by Zatman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally city pay him to Rob a living with this ESL top 12 teams in the world bullshit, everything they moaned about, lfootball being about South East Asian kids and all that bullshit you look at what man City are and what they're not and all that... Peps there to make them bigger, to make them a top 5 team in world football, obviously wining the CL is a jump start but failing that he's doing absoboluetky everything man City are paying him to do, they'll measure him in some sort of weird growth thing like number of Chinese twitter hash tags and year on year they'll be through the roof Pep is doing everythingbhes there to do I'd lazily suggest that man City are 10x the club they were before pep went there, CL is a metric we use not the owners, the owners will see shirt sales in Indonesia and love Pep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truth is he cant win the big one without once in a generation players like Xavi, Iniesta and Messi City might be ok with his title wins but thats not what he was hired for. Mancini and Pellegrini have done this before Last 2 Champions League seasons were winnable and since he joined have been beaten by average enough teams at the time. Monaco, Liverpool, Spurs, Lyon and now Chelsea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t completely disagree but it’s not as if they need the money that they get excited over shirt sales. The owners at City are desperate for CL. Khaldoon has made no secret of this.
