For a man that tries so hard to control how he is perceived he does show a remarkable lack of awareenss and judgement sometimes. He's a little detached from reality in some respects, similar to Wenger. It's almost like you have to be such an obsessive to be a good manager.

Should he say that their academy is irrelevant because they can just buy whoever they want? 😆

The Laporte deal is done, he has paid his release clause.

Laporte-Stones is a seriously good partnership on paper, both only 23 years of age with good amounts of experience, good height, and good on the ball.

Yeah you could see a guy like Diego Costa eating them for breakfast.

Dunno about Malcom but if Potchetino can get the best out of Lucas, he has the potential to terrorise PL defences.

Potchetino is being linked with Real as the Zidane replacement, the sooner that happens the better.

Moura has a bit of Lennon about him.

Come off that. Lucas may have had a shit time these last few years but no way can you compare him to Lennon. I'm not sure I'd even compare Lennon to the Ox or Walcott.

At a stretch he's Walcott.

Lennon was hot for a minute. He was going to be the next Shaun Wright-Philips. For a minute.

Lucas hasn't looked amazing whenever I've seen him but he's not a pace merchant, he does have decent ability on the ball.

I wonder who he's coming in for though, of the three I reckon Son has both been the best performing and yet the most likely to be dropped.

City have supposedly big 60m for Mahrez, Leicester want at least 90m.

😆

Didn't Guardiola just say they didn't have money? The owners probably struck upon new oil somewhere in the middle east.

Poverty Pep? Lol. Is this to replace Sane and Jesus? Must be soooooo nice to be Pep. 

Leroy Sane ruled out for 7 weeks. So what do City do? Spend another £70 Mn. There has to be a way to control this.

I hope Mahrez doesn't go there. We play them twice in the next 30 days, once in a Cup final. Mahrez would be stupid, he will not get much playing time there. Let them fucking regret pleading poverty when it came to signing Sanchez.
