I really enjoy this part of the season, unexpected results, pundits getting it wrong, transfers that never happen and some that do. Same old story lines keep appearing which means most Managers are not saying much. Nobody has a clue who will be top next week.

I have an uneasy feeling that KDB fitness will be an on going thing this season, we have seen it before with Augerro and we do not want it again with Kane. Interesting what Pep was saying that at certain ages niggles become more pronounced, nothing can be done about it, just age and wear and tear. Of course some exceptions exist, Messi, Ronaldo even our own Fernandinho and latterly David Silva but they are few and far between.I can see a brighter picture with Foden, Delap, Palmer and a few others from the Academy though but they need to mature like Foden is doing. I hope Laporte settles down, good goal, with his right foot too!! Strikers instinct!! Amusing myself, I wonder what would happen if we put Ederson at CF!!!! One thing, it would be lively

maybe so Chuky but I was really referring to when players get older, injuries become more common and longer to get over. I have always said Kane is a very good player many times, in my opinion he would be a risk too much for City at this level of investment and I doubt he would fit City’s style of play, but then again, that is just me, I am not Pep who knows more than me. IF, we get him I doubt we would get a full season out of him, a lot of money for that. We experienced that with Augerro and to a lesser extent with Dzeko, who I liked but was also frustrating.

Hi Mike, yes I agree with what you say including Kane, who I never wanted from Day 1, would rather go for a younger fitter player. I think we have lost Bernado and we will regret that over the season. Mahrez and Sterling need to step up and put some goal scoring to there game. I never have a problem with Sterlings effort but he is a frustrating player and should be scoring more. Mahrez..he is either on or off..thats it. I would like Laporte to stay but like Bernardo think he wants to go back to Europe. KDB fitness my biggest concern. Grealish should do well and get Foden back will make a difference, at least give opposing keepers some work to do. I hope Zinchenko makes it this year to be our best LB, I like his attitude. lets see how things develop over next few games

Quality before quantity, fact before fiction, banter before abuse as an ex TT, this is what the forum is about. Occasional skirmishes dealt with in proper way.

That is a sensible suggestion Lucky,,every team kicks off at 15.00. just like it used to be. Get “bums on seats”. I do not mind 12,30 kick off if there has to be an alternative but evening matches bring there own problems for many fans who want to go and support in person.

Steve, I put it down to the early 60s…as to why…well the world was changing in the “swinging 60s”. Flower power. etc etc. Mods and Rockers…the world started to change, for me, mostly not for the better, because,respect, was lost and political inadequacy took over

As much as I love City, when I watch a match, I watch 2 teams and 22 players, that is watching football. It is good to talk about other teams as well and we could do with more of there supporters on the forum without fear they will be talked out. Football is a game we should enjoy no matter the teams. The tribal stuff does more damage to the game than not.

Sean…that is what I find so crazy about money transfers. Arsenal, as you say spend 100 millions, now , to a team like say Burnley, Norwich, and a few others that is mega money they could never afford, yet supporters go crazy when larger amounts are spent, usually from the top 6 teams…it is all relative. In truth any supporter from any club wants its club to have an endless supply of money, no good saying it is unfair etc. (NOT YOU) it is the way the game has gone. I categorise it as
1. Those that have it spend it on what they think they want, not always a wise decision, but the choice is there’s

2. Those that have it, but for reasons other than re investment in the team divert the money to other directions

3. Those that have it and still prefer to borrow

4. The have nots

There will never be a level playing field with this and ultimately it is up to the clubs to manage there own long term welfare.

I would also add to support No 1 point, My team have spent a lot, no doubt about that, affordable or not, it is what you buy and from our mythical strength in depth I would rate at least 4 would not get into a Championship team. We do not have the perceived quality in depth most think we have, we probably did when we bought them but just not worked out. I feel the same analogy about Kane, another Rodney Marsh story. OK, I am in a pessimistic mood to day, probably because I have not heard from Chuky about Spurs mighty win, maybe it is a case of we have seen it all before!!!!!!

I hope so Nine but looking at the “here and now” and what I saw pre season does not give me and confidence about finishing top but it is early days and I will reflect after 10 games to see how things are shaping up

Nine..he method of the false 9 is that others score goals as well, which we are not doing at the moment.In my view , it is less about a striker. Augerro did not exist last season and the season before had limited appearances and we did not do so bad. Too much emphasis on the Augerro loss, Davis Silva was the biggest loss, he was the one that made it happen. Bernado off the boil, Mahrez and sterling not in the same class only KDB Grealish and Foden can lift us at moment in front. Gungdoghan will help when fit for 90 minutes
