RhesusReus 219 Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Mikel and Ramires staying, also there is still RLC. No way we will sign another CM.CB and LB only imo.but none of them are Cesc replacements. we needed a player that could offer creativity similar to Fabregas (not as world class as Cesc of course, but good enough to allow Cesc a rest). I'm hoping Willian is used deeper when Cesc is dropped for rest. He isn't nearly as creative, but he offers more runs going forward than Ramires, and can actually string one or two passes together (maybe, since he does try some rather head shaking passes now and then, killing counters).

Oscar 441 Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 I can see the potential in Depay, but, atm I think he is a bit overrated.However, I wouldn't be surprised if he hit +10 goals for LVG as a ss this season iseah100 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jase 43,479 Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 First Jovetic and now Dzeko. It seems City will soon have just 3 strikers (if we consider Sterling as one). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Him and Aguero up front is very lightweight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jase 43,479 Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Do we consider him one? Him and Aguero up front is very lightweight.Well, he did play upfront for Liverpool. So, he is a ST option for City and don't forget they still have Bony. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jase 43,479 Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 After Sturridge went down.He still played there and did OK for them. And I think Pellegrini has been using him as a ST in pre-season.Aguero-Sterling-Bony. Do they still play a 2 striker formation?It's Pellegrini. What do you think? He's likely only to play 1 upfront in the big games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

City, just like us, are desperate to blood youngsters into the first team and unlike Mourinho, Pellegrini is probably less skeptical in using academy players.

City, just like us, are desperate to blood youngsters into the first team and unlike Mourinho, Pellegrini is probably less skeptical in using academy players.If I remember correctly, there was a press conference where Pellegrini said Denayer (young CB) and Iheanacho (young ST) would be promoted to the first team as squad depth. I haven't seen too much of Iheanacho...but Denayer looks promising Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
