Everything at Man City is pretty much geared towards what Guardiola wants, unless of course their board deem the signing is too expensive. Even then, I'm sure Guardiola has his shortlist of wanted players but so far, his only competent defenders in the side are Walker and Laporte.

You know he's picking targets ahead of anyone else?

He's deemed that way because of the success his style of football has had rather than his moves in the transfer market. Point still stands.

I don't see how the two are related when different skill sets are required. Guardiola, for example, is seen as the best manager in the world but can't seem to identify competent defenders for his Man City side.

Imagine getting heavily linked with Sancho and Werner but we end up getting Zaha and Dembele instead.

Not sure why this is Breaking News but...

But Mount has done way more in his career than CHO, no? Handing out big contract to young players based on potential is just nonsense. Are we simply just gonna do that every time there is a young player with potential but hasn't done anything of note? And I'm not talking about youth football here. Let's face it, the club basically caved in and CHO used the circumstances - the Bayern interest, the hysteria from the fans and media etc - to force the club to give him a big contract. Given they rejected his transfer request in January, it would have been embarrassing for them if they had to sell CHO after that. Unfortunately for Mount, he didn't have any leverage or at least didn't attempt to create one. If giving out big contract with over 100k per week wages to young players with potential is the benchmark, then those actually performing on the pitch will probably be demanding over 200k per week and our wage structure will be thrown out of the window. Hey, maybe Abraham should hand in a transfer request, that might just send the club into panic mode and cave in over his demands!

Just checked the story from Matt Law again and apparently he is earning only 77k p/w!

Sure but let’s try and get a winning run going again first, rather than alternating results like we’ve been doing in these last 2 months.

I know but we still have Brighton, Nottingham Forest, Burnley and Newcastle before that.

Wonder how much Mount got in his new contract, considering he signed it before CHO IIRC.

Let's try to win the games between now and then first, before worrying about the return fixture.

But Cole's impact after 2009/10 was minimal. At least Lampard and Drogba still contributed to more decisive moments. If the reason to put Cole in was because of Munich, then Bosingwa should have been in there as well.

"Interesting" team...think a lot of people who voted don't understand the meaning of 'decade'!

Speaking of Aubameyang...

Aubameyang has previous at Dortmund. Got dropped a couple of times because of disciplinary issues, for example.

Ian McGarry is not the most reliable fella.
