[size=14pt]Gabriel Jesus Number 9 Jersey Shows He Is Quality[/size]

The Brazilian National Football Team coach named Manchester City new signing, Gabriel Jesus in the squad for Brazil's coming games during the international break.

Tite, the Brazilian National Team coach gave Gabriel Jesus the coveted number nine Jersey. A jersey won by Brazilian legends. This shows that the coach believes Gabriel Jesus' quality.

He put up brilliant displays at the just concluded Olympics at Rio. He was part of the Brazilian Olympics team that won the Gold medal in football. His brilliant performances was enough to convince the coach of his quality.

Gabriel Jesus attractive displays attracted Barcelona who wanted to sign him. Manchester City won the battle for the promising forward. Manchester City secured his services for £27 million. The young forward scored 26 goals in 60 games for Palmeiras.

Gabriel Jesus might make his debut for the Brazilian National Team in the coming games.

He will join Manchester City In January when the Brazilian League ends.

Before the Olympics, many thought Gabriel Jesus was not top quality and he would not make it at the Etihad. His brilliant displays at the Olympics and Coach Tite of Brazil giving Gabriel the Number Nine Jersey showed Manchester City secured the services of a promising talent.

We hope he continues his fine form for the Brazilian team and impresses at the Etihad when he arrives in January.

[size=14pt]ALMOST CERTAIN: Guardiola Will Not Have Aguero For Manchester Derby[/size]


It looks as if Pep Guardiola will not have his star striker and English Premier League joint top scorer this season, Sergio Aguero available for the Manchester Derby.

The FA Charged Aguero with violent conduct and Aguero will face a three match ban.

Video replay of a second half incident involving Sergio Aguero and Winston Reid of West Ham, showed the Argentine swing his elbow towards Reid. Andre Marriner, the referee of the match said he did not see the incident, even though he was well placed.

This lead to the FA to review the incident based on video evidence. The three-man panel voted unanimously that the FA should charge Aguero for his violent conduct.

Aguero has to reply the charge before 6pm on Wednesday.

It is almost certain that Pep Guardiola will not field his star striker in the Manchester Derby at Old Trafford. Manchester City visits Old Trafford for the Derby game. Mourinho guided Manchester United to win their first three games. Manchester City and Manchester United are both on 9 points after three games in the English Premier League.

I do not condone violence on the field and Aguero’s reaction was wrong. I do not know what happened before the incident but Aguero should control his temper. Especially when provoked.

I expect us to accept the charge and move on. Three games without Aguero is a lot but we have quality players to help us deal with the loss. Even without Gundogan and Sane, we can cope.

If we lose Aguero, we can win the game if we stick to the game plan. We need to work hard to compensate the loss of Aguero.

[size=14pt]Mangala On His Way Out Of Manchester City[/size]

Portuguese Newspaper claims Eliaquim Mangala is on his way out of Manchester City. It looks as if he will go back where Manchester City signed him.

Sources claim that Mangala will join FC Porto on a two-year loan, after what many consider a failed time at Manchester City.

Mangala joined Manchester City two years ago, after completing a £42 million deal. Many expected the French defender to make an impact at Manchester City but he did not live up to the expectation or justify his price tag.

Manchester City might pay half of his wages while Mangala is on loan at Porto.

Newspaper O Jogo claims that Jorge Mendes, Mangala's agent is in Manchester to sort out the problem Mangala is facing at Manchester City. Mendes hopes to seal the loan deal before the transfer window closes.

Guardiola did not play Mangala in any of the Premier League matches this season. He also left Mangala out of the Champions League playoff game against Steaua Bucharest. This means Mangala is not in the plans of Guardiola.

Mangala has three years left on his contract and will return to Manchester City after he completes the two-years loan.

Mangala looked promising in his debut when he joined Manchester City. He played well against Chelsea and marked out Diego Costa.

We expected him to flourish with Manchester City but it did not work out. He put up some fine performances but also had some bad ones.

Wish him the best at FC Porto.

[size=14pt]Joe Hart Might Never Keep For Manchester City Again[/size]

Joe Hart is one of the players who played a major role in Manchester City's recent title wins. The hero served the club faithfully for six years and he is someone we expected to stay at Manchester City for a long time.

This changed with the arrival of Pep Guardiola. He has a style which promotes work ethic, tidy passing, working together as a team to retrieve the ball and keeping possession.

Manchester City won their first five games since the arrival of Guardiola and it seems the system is working.

Unfortunately, Joe Hart did not meet up with what the new Boss wanted from a goalkeeper. Guardiola wanted a Goalkeeper who could play football.

He did not want a keeper who stays in the post. He wanted a sweeper keeper. A goalkeeper who plays like Manuel Neuer. The keeper stands far from the post and helps the team in passing.

Ter Stergen demonstrated this in his last match when he completed 51 passes. He completed more passes than Alexis Sanchez and Kevin De Bruyne did in their last games.

Guardiola dropped Joe Hart from most games and the goalkeeper landed Turin for a year-long loan deal with Torino.

This move by Joe Hart is about him getting playing time. He wants to remain the number one goalkeeper of the English National Team.

Joe Hart needed a club that plays a similar brand to what Guardiola likes his teams to play. A club that would help Joe Hart back into the Manchester City team.

Sinisa Mijhalovic, former assistant coach to Mancini is the Head Coach of Torino. His last job before Torino was at AC Milan. He lost his job because the team did not play attractively. He did not coach the team to play the way the heads of AC Milan wanted the team to play.

Joe Hart going this route means he will not develop his ball playing ability. Which means he will not suit Guardiola's system when his loan deal is over.

This might mean the emotional good-bye Joe Hart got at during the Champions League playoff might turn out a final good-bye to the Iconic Cityzens hero.

Wish Joe Hart the best.

[size=14pt]Nasri To Leave Manchester City Despite Wanting To Stay[/size]


Manchester City has to trim the number of foreign players after signing Nolito, Leroy Sane, Ilkay Gundogan and Claudio Bravo. It seems the brilliant midfielder, Samir Nasri is going to leave the Etihad after a successful time at Manchester City.

Nasri put up a brilliant display in the game against West Ham. It looked as if he might stay after Guardiola said the decision of Nasri staying or leaving rest with Nasri.

Reports suggested that Nasri asked to stay. He will not stay at the Etihad because of the number of foreign players in the team. Wilfried Bony And Joe Hart are likely to leave the Etihad and it seems Nasri will also leave. Guardiola needs to cut two overseas players from the squad before the transfer window closes.

Clubs interested in signing the French midfielder would like what they saw when Guardiola recalled Nasri back to the squad. Nasri played a part in the last goal scored by Sterling. He made brilliant passes and runs. Nasri came close to scoring.

Besiktas of Turkey wanted Nasri but it seems Nasri will head to Sevilla. The Spanish club is in the Champions League and their style of play is exciting.

Guardiola complained that Nasri was overweight after he returned from the summer break. Nasri worked hard and got fit. Guardiola noticed his hard work and said Nasri's quality impressed him. Guardiola repaid Nasri's devotion with an English Premier League appearance.

Nasri showed great character after the Boss dropped him from the team. He did not complain but worked hard to get back into the game. He played well and Guardiola wanted Nasri to stay and help the team.

If Nasri will leave on loan, I hope he joins Sevilla. Despite a chance to play in the Champions League, Nasri will work with Sampaoli, the former coach of Chile. Sampaoli likes his players to work hard off the ball like Guardiola.

He also coaches the team to play in a possessive way. Sevilla won the UEFA Cup three times consecutively. It means Nasri would join a club with a history of winning.

If Nasri does well at Sevilla, he can find his way back to Manchester City, since this is a loan deal.

[size=14pt]It Is A New Day For Wilfried Bony[/size]

Wilfried Bony's future at the Etihad seems uncertain after Guardiola left him out of the squad. The Ivorian striker joined the club for a fee of £25 million but it seems he might leave on loan with three clubs hoping to sign him.

The three clubs are West Ham, Sunderland and Stoke City.

Bony Tweeted that, "It is a new day and I look forward to a new challenge."

Reports emerged that Bony arrived Stoke City's training ground and it looks as if he will join Stoke City. It seems it is a loan deal and Bony wil return at the end of the season.

Guardiola is busy at the Etihad because he has to cut the number of Foreign players in his club from 19 to 17 after the club secured the services of Leroy Sane, Ilkay Gundogan, Claudio Bravo and Nolito.

Any club signing Wilfried Bony will get their hands on a good player. His quality was not the problem but injuries disrupted his time at the Etihad. With a top player like Aguero, it was hard for Bony to keep a steady place in the squad. He also did not fit into the pressing style of Guardiola.

Wish Bony the best.

[size=14pt]Wilfried Bony Secures Loan Move To Stoke City[/size]

Mark Hughes secured the services of Wilfried Bony after the striker agreed a season-long loan deal with Stoke City.

Guardiola did not use Bony in any of the games this season. Bony was not part of the Champions League team or any of the Premier League selection.

Guardiola made it clear that Wilfried Bony was not in his plans this season.

This is a chance for Bony to rekindle his career after a failed move to Manchester City. Injuries hampered him and he had to compete with Aguero, the Manchester City top Striker for playing time.

Towards the end of last season, Pellegrini preferred playing Iheanacho in attack, which made Bony the third striker.

Mark Hughes is a good coach and Bony can learn from him.

Wish Bony a successful time at Manchester City.

[size=14pt]Nasri Ties Loan Deal To Join Sevilla[/size]

Guardiola left Nasri out of the squad in the Champions League playoff games against Steaua Bucharest and the first two English Premier League games against Stoke City and Sunderland. Guardiola did not consider Nasri fit for his team because he was overweight.

This changed after the French man worked hard and got fit. He showed devotion in training and he got a well earned appearance in the game against West Ham United.

Guardiola needed to cut some foreign players from the squad and Nasri was one of them. Nasri flew to Seville today and he secured a loan deal with Sevilla. Nasri will stay in the club for a year.

Manchester Evening News reported that the football director of Sevilla is happy with the deal. He sees Nasri as an important player for Sevilla.

“Nasri is the player we have been looking for. He is the final piece of the jigsaw.” Sevilla football director Monchi said.

Nasri served Manchester City well and he can impress Guardiola playing in a similar system under Coach Sampaoli.

He will also play in the Champions League. His time at Sevilla can bring Nasri back to the Manchester City.

There is an option for Sevilla to sign Nasri after the loan deal and this could turn out a good-bye to Nasri.

We wish Nasri the best as he joins Sevilla.

[size=14pt]Right Moment And Right Manner: Hart Joins Torino[/size]


Joe Hart joined Torino for a season-long loan. Joe Hart is happy with the switch and he feels the move came at the right moment for him.

Guardiola made it clear that he wanted a keeper who was good with his feet. He wanted a keeper who could help build attacks from the back with effective distribution of the ball.

Guardiola felt Joe Hart did not have the quality and allowed Joe Hart fly to Turin to complete a season-long loan move to Torino.

Manchester Evening News reported that Joe Hart wants to test himself in the Serie A.

“Torino’s offer came at the right moment, and in the right manner." Joe Hart said. "I am very excited to test myself in an important and beautiful league such as Serie A."

Torino's President expressed his delight to land Joe Hart, one of the top rated goalkeepers in the World.

Torino president Urbano Cairo said: “His transfer to Torino makes us proud and demonstrates our willingness to build a more competitive team - but only the results will prove it."

Attilio Lombardo who was a coach at Manchester City during Mancini's time played a part in Joe Hart choosing Torino. Attilio Lombardo is one of the coaches in Torino. Sinisa Mijhalovic who was Mancini's teammate at Sampdoria and Mancini's assistant coach at Inter Milan is the head coach of Torino. Attilio Lombardo was also Mancini's teammate at Sampdoria.

[size=14pt]Gabriel Jesus Is A Golden Boy[/size]

Palmeiras coach, Cuca backs Gabriel Jesus to do well at Manchester City. The young Brazilian forward will join Manchester City during the January transfer window.

Gabriel Jesus scored three goals in the just concluded Olympics to help the Brazilian Football Team win an Olympics gold medal. He scored 26 goals in 71 games for Brazil which attracted Barcelona and Manchester City.

Manchester City announced the signing of the Brazilian whizkid for £27million. He will remain with the Brazilian side until the Brazilian Football season ends.

Cuca told SporTV: "He is 19 years old, will turn 20 and will learn a lot over the course of time. He has the essentials. He likes contact, combines explosiveness with speed.

"In a one-on-one he does very well. It is difficult to find such a player.

"Credit to Gabriel because he wanted to stay [at Palmeiras until the end of the season]. If he wanted to leave, he would have. I am very happy with his professionalism.

"He gives his life in games and in training he does the same thing.

"He's a golden boy, and no doubt will take off further in his career because he is a great professional."

Nice report about Gabriel Jesus. It shows Manchester City signed a special player. It is good to know that the young man works hard in training.

His decision to stay back at Palmeiras to help them until the end of the Brazilian Football season shows his devotion to the club.

Indeed Gabriel Jesus Is A Golden Boy and I hope Manchester City gains from his golden nature.

[size=14pt]Barcelona Is A Great Test For Manchester City[/size]

Guardiola Insisted that no team plays better than Barcelona. He was full of praise for Luis Enrique, his former teammate.

Manchester City is in the same Champions League Group with Barcelona. Many football fans expect an exciting encounter between these clubs that play brilliant possession football.

Guardiola met Barcelona in the Semi Final of the Champions League when he was the Boss of Bayern Munich, losing 5-3 on aggregate.

Guardiola expects another tough test, considering the attacking talents of Neymar, Messi and Suarez.

"Is [facing Barca] sooner than I expected? It's whatever comes your way. We always have to play the best, and there is no one better than them," the Manchester Boss told Catalan radio station Tot Costa.

"The three up front can make you so unbalanced but there is also so much work behind the scenes."

He added: "How Barcelona play, you note that there is so much work that has gone into it from Luis Enrique, and they will keep doing it in the coming years.

"They are the best and it is a great test for us. We've been given this challenge and we have to see what level we bring.

"But [Borussia] Monchengladbach also worries me. Today the Champions League starts in the first stage, not the quarter-finals. You can't make any errors.

"But it is always lucky to be able to return to Camp Nou and reacquaint yourself with friends."

Manchester City expects a tough test when they meet Barcelona in the group stage of the Champions League. Manchester City is a club with big dreams. Manchester City signing and making Guardiola Boss shows their intention. It does not mean Manchester City thinks everything will go easy from here.

If Manchester City wants to become one of the elites in football, then they should welcome tough clashes from top clubs.

Manchester City plays better since Guardiola took over and they will get better with time. The game against Barcelona Is A test, win or lose will make us a better side.

Joe Hart thanked the amazing Manchester City Fans who supported him during his challenging time at Manchester City. He wanted to stay at the club but due to the situations at the Etihad, the English number one keeper is on loan at Torino.

Joe Hart opted for a season-long loan switch to the Serie A after Guardiola made it clear that Joe Hart was surplus to his team. Guardiola left Joe Hart out of three English Premier League games and played Willy Caballero in-goal. Guardiola doubted Joe Hart's ability with his feet.

The tone of Joe Hart's open letter on Facebook seemed as if the career of the brilliant stopper is over at the Etihad.

Joe Hart is still signed to Manchester City until 2019.

His message read: "I just wanted to take this opportunity to address all the amazing Manchester City fans who have been so good to me.

"It's been a difficult few weeks but that will never cloud the amazing journey and experience your great club has given to me.

"From the moment I signed in 2006, the club and its fans have given me football and life experiences I could never have imagined and I am so thankful for that.

"Football is a crazy game and, due to circumstances, I am now moving on to another chapter of my career and I am very grateful that Torino has given me this opportunity to play for their great club.

"But the feelings I felt during the recent Steaua Bucharest game [his last appearance for City, last week] will live with me forever. You can't buy that and I will struggle to replicate them. So thank you for that and all the amazing memories.

"There are many great people at the club behind the scenes and the club is moving in the right direction, so I would like to wish Manchester City football club, all its staff and players and of course the fans, all the best for the coming season and beyond."

Hart joined City in 2006 and has won the Premier League (twice), League Cup (twice) and FA Cup.

shocked pep left yaya out of his UCL squad, he maybe good but I think that's disrespectful. He should have told him to leave since he knew he won't use him...this is even more disrespectful to what he did to hart , won't be surprised if he told him to start playing with the U21 guns...don't like the way pep is treating our heros

[size=14pt]Manchester City Midfielder Is Out Of Favor With Guardiola[/size]

It seems Yaya Toure is out of favor with Guardiola after the Manchester City Boss left the Ivorian midfielder out of his Champions League list.

Yaya Toure could not secure a regular starting place at Barcelona while he worked with Guardiola. It seems Yaya is in the same situation again.

Guardiola shook things at the Etihad to suit the way he wants. He let Joe Hart, Samir Nasri, Wilfried Bony And Eliaquim Mangala go on Loan.

Yaya Toure is at the club but his name is not on the Champions League list. This shows there is no regular place for Yaya Toure in the New Look Manchester City.

Yaya Toure is yet to play a game this season in the English Premier League.

Yaya Toure played 90 minutes in the second leg of the Champions League playoff game against Steaua Bucharest. This gave an indication that Yaya Toure might play a part in the team's chase for titles.

New arrivals Claudio Bravo, John Stones, Ilkay Gundogan, Leroy Sane and Nolito are on the list.

It hurts when we think of the hard work, perseverance and special moments Yaya Toure brought to Manchester City. He is a true hero of the club and we wish he was part of this new plan.

However, we brought Guardiola to make tough decisions. Decisions we might not like but will work for the team.

Guardiola does not like something about Yaya Toure's game play. It is something we should not take personal.

What Yaya Toure should do is to keep working hard in training and try to get what the coach wants. Just like how Nasri worked hard to get back in the squad.

Yaya Toure might impress the coach and find his way back into the squad.

[size=14pt]Wenger Blocking Arsenal Midfielder's Loan To City Was A Wrong Step[/size]

Talented English Midfielder and Arsenal Footballer, Jack Wilshere moved on loan to Bournemouth. It seems a good deal for the player but a move to Manchester City would benefit Wilshere and Arsenal more.

Bournemouth fought off clubs like Crystal Palace and Roma to secure the services of Jack Wilshere for a season-long loan. Jack Wilshere made the move to get playing time in the English Premier League.

Reports say Guardiola wanted to take Wilshere on loan but Arsene Wenger did not want Wilshere to join a rival.

Guardiola is an admirer of Jack Wilshere after his brilliant performance against Barcelona in the Champions League, when Guardiola was Barcelona's Boss.

Guardiola once hailed Wilshere as a top and excellent player.

Sending Wilshere on loan means Wenger does not have faith in him.

Guardiola helped Messi overcome his injury issues and he might do the same for Wilshere. Guardiola might also find a way to use Wilshere to bring out the best in him. Just as Guardiola is doing with Sterling.

Sending Wilshere to Bournemouth might give him playing time but Arsene Wenger did not put Wilshere's development in mind. This is not about arming your rivals but bringing out the best in a player.

[size=14pt]Aguero Should Learn From His Ban[/size]

The English Football Association handed a three match ban to Sergio Aguero. This means that the star striker of Manchester City will miss the Manchester Derby.

The Manchester City striker received a charge after video evidence showed Aguero swing an elbow on Winston Reid in the game against West Ham United.

Aguero received a charge after Andre Marriner, the referee of the game did not include the incident in his report. This meant he did not see the incident occur. This made the FA review the incident using video replay and charged Aguero for violent conduct.

Manchester City appealed the charge but the FA announced a ban on Aguero.

This means Guardiola will shuffle his team because many expected Aguero to start that game. Aguero scored three goals in his first three games in the English Premier League.

Aguero will miss the trip to Old Trafford for the Derby. He will also miss the home game against Bournemouth and an EFL Cup third-round tie at Swansea City.

Aguero has an impressive record against Manchester United. He scored eight goals in the nine Derby games he played.

This should serve as a lesson to Sergio Aguero. I think Winston Reid provoked him because Aguero takes a lot of harsh treatment from English Premier League defenders.

They know he is a key man for Manchester City. Most times, our attack goes through him. These make the defenders treat Aguero badly during games.

They forget that even though his endurance level is high, he is human and feels pains.

I hope the Referees look into protecting players. If the Referees do not, it forces players to act violently in a way to protect themselves.

I want Aguero to learn from this because no matter the harsh treatment he gets, a violent conduct spotted affects the team.

Aguero and the other Cityzens should avoid this repeating. Missing Aguero in a game both teams have equal points at the top of the table, reduces our strength in the clash.

I hope the other players raise the level of their performances for this game to compensate Aguero’s loss.
