Until they hit a patch in December-January and fail to perform in the CL. All the while we picking up form October till the end.

No not really this is why I was surprised him putting youth when we was losing.....

Wow seriously some people here are ridiculous wanting Mourinho out when pellegrini, Rodgers, and Wenger have stayed on for less. I hope our board ain't as delusional as some of you guys here. Mourinho just need to drop the non performance players like he did with cahill last season. And if he is going to trust youth then give them sustainable time and development like he did with Oscar.

Interesting hope it means what I think it is. But even then we have to pick up our confidence in defense since it's been crap. Hopefully by October we got this sort out.

Totally agree, MrBlueGuy and excalibur are trolls of the highest order.

Please let it be Ivanovic. But I know it's either Fabregas or hazard....

I think this is our problem. He is not up to standard and because of that everything else sucks.

I don't mind losing if we use youth. Said it before the beginning of the season if we finish 2 or 3 while using youth I will be happy. Using the younger players while we was down I'm not sure what to make of it. The only thing I can say is as long as he continues using them then today won't be seen as bad. But he needs to continue to use them not like kalas one game here and then nothing.

Don't know what to make of it using young players when down. I can see two situation. He will used it as an excuse to the poor game that he was using "youth" and then never play the kids again. Or this is the beginning of him trusting younger players. One will only hope that the second option is the one he has in mind but with Mourinho lack of youth integration we can't put it past him. Only way we will know is by sustainable time. Read this again TOMO!!! Sustainable time not one game here and there and that's it.

Another waste of money? No not really as I was not expecting anything of him till maybe December but realistically end of the season or next. He might turn out to be a waste of money but I was never in any intention that he would be a straight starter.

Reading your post on this thread I'll say your just bitter men. He's a top player that will be good for city. Nothing more to say.

Think is piss poor planning to be waiting this late to get a player. Everyone was hyping up and high fiving for last season transfer window but I knew it was too good to be true. Brought down to earth all the high and lofty people. And not to mention to have done the same thing like we did with Rooney in wasting all our time in one target and then settling for a temporary option....

Non people are just jealous because they are spending big money and we ain't.But the thing is that we had a big squad and sold a lot just to say we got a "positive net spend" May it long continue.... ???

He is already being criticized for this. KDB is a great player that was not giving time to play. And now we don't have to argue at how bad he is with youth. Third season in and nothing from our academy which he said he would do from his first interview here.....

I don't care much about the hypocrisy from Martinez because Mourinho is a number one in that! What gets me wonder is what will happen if Stones sulks? We shall see if he truly is "professional".

I still think for big games I rather have Oscar then Fabregas. Oscar has some creativity and is better to help us defend then Fabregas.

Also said it before we always play good against Barcelona no matter who the coach is. So I'm confident on facing Barcelona. I think we would have done much better then psg last season.

City before used Silva and Nasri a lot. That wasn't bad either, so it's more then likely that KDB replaces Nasri and that would be a nice upgrade.

Let's just continue to buy from the Spanish league. Has gone good for us and should continue to be. Surely we can find a good player over there. Doesn't has to be Real Madrid or Barcelona. Although from RM it would be awesome.

I still think we can make it far if Mourinho doesn't screw up with his tactics like last season. That was borderline pathetic and we should have been playing against Barcelona. Chelsea always plays good against Barcelona no matter who the coach is. So we missed a great game last season with them. Let's hope Mourinho is not so conservative in the knockout phase. Conservatism can be great in league games where you get points, but not good in CL where away goals can kill you!

I actually think he will be good for them. But like I said if you look at the past City have not been something amazing. Might play a couple of great games but tend to fall apart later. So because of that I was never really scared of them. Noticed the last two times they won the league tittle. It was the worst of the bunch! They have never been an amazing team that blown everyone away and run away with it like we did last season. That's why I always felt they was never a real tittle challenge for us if we are in a good standing. Now it might level the playing field and give us a proper go till the end. We have a good team and a good manager, we are not the Chelsea of two seasons ago and will go for it again.

Well that's Chelsea fault not City or FFP.

Can people seriously read up before posting like this all the time? It has been relaxed mainly because of EPL making a lot of money in TV!

What bolt Segway crash? Yes I know. ?

Think those are different cases. Yaya left knowing how good he was just like Pedro. KDB is a totally different case. Is like having Hazard and letting him go after his first 6 month with us...... See if we let go of Willian and he goes to do amazing oh well, he had his chance here. KDB never really got much of a chance and that's what bother people here. Like Mata a lot of people was sad over it, but he got his chance and he left.
