That's not the right question to ask. We already have Cucu; arguably the best LB in the league and Palmer is better than Cherki at least for now.

For City, O'Riley; an attacking academy midfielder spent the better part of last season playing as a left back so they clearly need somebody there(Nouri). Cherki is coming to take Bernado's minutes if he leaves. And Tijani is replacing aging Gundo.

The right question is where do we need improvements and how do we get it done. We clearly need a striker, you get a world class one not prospect. We need a top CB, you get one, we need a midfielder who's press resistant, doesn't stray away from his position and very comfortable receiving the ball on the turn from his defenders. This is a crucial aspect of a possession heavy team, we don't have that. You get one. Another is a left winger, you get it done.

So we need; a Left Winger, world class CF, world class CB, world class DLP. No need signing another GK(Petro dey) or more prospects. We have to start winning asap or may be I'm asking too much 😔

which world class players have city signed currently as replacements?

Enzo5:
he has brainwashed you already

Yes he brainwashed me to believe that caicedo can't do all midfield work while psg won champions league with 3 midfielders.


Now imagine caicedo struggling against 3 midfielders when we meet psg in UCL.

That's how horrible and weak Enzo is.

Ibime:
Shey in your mind, only one person does defensive and ball retention work after seeing PSG that have 3 people contributing to that aspect. No wonder you want Felix in our midfield, ninny

That guy doesn't get that caicedo is playing alone ,does he?

lordfalcao:

None but Tijani is close. If we can't get world class players in other positions no issues but that CF position we need a top dawg finisher there. City already have one.

Pep is world class, Maresca isn't and this will matter too.

Ibeme:
You get luck say Spambot no allow me give you appropriate response. Given your support of Bakayoko that year and Enzo now, it's obvious you don't read the game properly

Pele o, Librarian

Enzo5:

No mind am. If you ask him who he think should replace Enzo, na rubbish he go name.

55Million Rejinders
30million Cherki
45million Ait nouri.

City have used the Wirtz funds wisely.

So you mean if Maresca start playing Lavia, Caicedo and Enzo together with Palmer at right wing, the midfield won't be compact enough to dominate any team? Huh.

Unlimited22:
After buying Reis, Khusanov, Nico González and Marmoush in January for 200m, THREE OF WHOM WON'T MAKE THEIR STRONGEST XI, City are already buying Cherki and Reinders


Anyway.

No comments on transfers.

Make season start first.

What I won't be accepting will be excuse for Maresca.

+ Ait nouri

Massive overhaul

Can't blame them after the bad season they had

That Rodri and Reinjders midfield would really hit, Rodri feels like a fresh signing right now

They came third and went to a cup final, I really hope we get to this standards soon as well

Enzo5:
#Chelsea and AC Milan are not close on valuations for Mike Maignan. Milan value him at €30M, Chelsea value him at €10M. Chelsea won’t wait longer than Monday as they’re also happy with the four goalkeepers in their squad.

someone think 25m is a steal

That 10m is too much sef

He's not worth more than 7m

Nor is he better than petrovic in any way

Bluelines69:

Exactly

We fell off big time

it is enzo maresca you are talking about, because that's his job to field 2 or 3 midfielders

I don't know if you support city or chelsea but I wouldn't want rodri returns to his best for city

you want the right questions
since when did maresca need a dlp?
which world class cf did you leave in the market that's within chelsea's profile search?
is gittens not a left winger?
which midfield in chelsea can't resist opponents pressure?

you are asking too much because you are being unrealistic

Ibime:

I told you I wanted felix in midfield?
and to you it's only 3 people that were contributing to defense?
care to share with us palmer's contribution to defense

as much as I agree with some of what you are a saying I feel disgusting to be reading an assumed chelsea fan praising another opposition club. you make it sound like all the players city are signing are world class but the ones signing for chelsea have no such quality.

Gucciboy:

yes he is the only name on chelsea team sheet game in game out

it terrible how people forget that enzo covers for cucurella a lot of the time, leaving just two midfielders to face the oppositions transition when our attackers lose the ball.

Ibime:
Anyone who thinks Bastoni will improve Chelsea by even 3% with a midfield expressway needs a serious konk on the head. The same Bastoni that just chopped five against PSG after his midfield got overwhelmed

I will keep repeating it, centreback is the easiest position to play in football. Every single one of our centrebacks is serviceable. You can even win league with Badiashile and Disasi as long as the midfield is in control, talkless of Colwill, Fofana, Jesus boy and Tosin. Our CB is already stacked. We have won league and UCL with David fking Luiz and Gary fking Cahill. There is no centreback in world football who won't crumble when facing repeated one v ones. Nobody is superman. Even Maldini and Nesta the so called GOATs crumbled horribly from 3-0 up against Liverpool and from 4-1 up against Deportivo

Our most important piece of business this summer is removing Enzo from our midfield, otherwise if you like spend £1 billion on defenders, you labour in vain

Timbos is setting up ring light.

a find weird people on nairaland who talk smack against enzo. Enzo Fernandez is one of the best central midfielder in epl if not the best

Miechonu, Enzo cover for who?

This guy must be a teenager, you got the most ridiculous takes

Explanation akaria .

Nothing has made tijani any close to world class . It's as simple as that.

Nagelsmann needs to keep it simple and flog those Portuguese.

Nubel

Kimmich. Tah. Anton. Mittelstadt

Pavolvic. Goretzka.

Gnabry, . Wirtz. Sane.

NinjaMetahuman:
this is what happened tbh

Mad.

What's delaying Delap's announcement?

Enzo can barely cover himself. How you go talk say him cover Cucurella?

Cucurella wey dey play 3 roles in Maresca's system with ruthless efficiency na im Enzo dey cover?

Come on boss!
