[40 goals might be pushing it mind]

Yeah maybe true about Kolorov

What was you're opinion on Sergio Aguero this season I felt he lost a bit of his spark, I know he scored plenty still but I thought his demeanour changed and he looked a bit isolated at times, even more so when KDB was out
Before he always played with a smile on his face,this season he showed more frustration I thought?

Cuts a lonely figure at times and maybe feels the weight of the team on his shoulders, but in general another good season. Keeping him fit is the only issue; if he played 90% of the games he'd get 40 goals every year he's that good. Constant niggles are gonna knock 3 years off his career sadly, won't see him playing into his mid 30's IMO.

Get him in your fantasy football teams again next season!

I'm with you this. 40 goals might be pushing it mind. It's not La Liga..

I wouldn’t say he has lost his spark but yes to frustration. Frustration with his body, frustration at missing chances, frustration at being isolated, frustrated with the team who have often been inept, frustration at the system, frustration with referees. He is an integral part of Pep’s plans (Aguero has apparently signed a new contract) and hopefully some of those frustrations will disappear next year with Pep and the best in the league gets better still.

On the face of it the season was a hard one for him, didn’t always look at his best, but yet again a consummate success with a strike rate of a goal for less than every 100 minutes played for the 3rd season in a row. To put the magnitude of that into perspective, it has only been achieved by other strikers 6 times in Premier League history (based on 15+ goals in a season).

He has the best strike rate in Premier League history and the gap between him and 2nd place (Thierry Henry) continues to widen. If he played every minute of every game next season and didn’t score a single goal he’d still be in the top 10. Amazing.

Genius.

Based on all competitions

You can see he has such high expectations of himself, so when he misses a chance he perhaps doesn't brush it off as quickly as he should. He is also continually shafted by referees week in week out and also regularly gets the fuck kicked out of him by cavemen defenders who are simply unable to stop him within the laws of the game.

The best striker to ever grace the Premier League, and we are very lucky to call him our own. Put him down for another 25 goals next season.

Really? God knows I didn't like any of them, but Shearer, Suarez, Henry are all in front of Augero in terms of quality and impact.

Yes really.

Very interesting read, thanks for sharing.

I'm not sure if anyone has highlighted this already, but from 31st Oct 2016 Norwegian Air will be flying direct from Gatwick to Vegas twice a week (Mondays and Thursdays).  Prices look really good.  Just over £400 return for their Low Fare + option which includes seat reservation, 1 x 20kg bag and meal.  Their Premium cabin is about £900 return.  They will be using their new Boeing 787 Dreamliners on this route.

I flew to Bangkok in Norwegian's premium cabin and it is very good, and probably lies somewhere between premium economy and business on other airlines. It's not a flat bed, but it has a much bigger seat pitch and greater recline than your average premium economy seat. Food/drinks/entertainment were all fine too. I think they have free wifi on most routes too.

If you can snag one for £900 return vs paying north of £1000 to fly in PE on BA/VA, its a no brainer in my opinion.

Definitely need someone to take pressure off him
I know I would be in the minority but think Dzeko was a big miss this season
KDB will be the player to build the side around think he is an unbelievable talent for his age

It's a tricky position because you need a player good enough to step up when required, but who realises they ain't gonna play when Sergio is fit. Dzeko couldn't do it (enough quality but didn't wanna play second fiddle) Bony can't do it (not enough quality). We often just play one up front so this only exacerbates the 'problem'. I'd snap up Akinfenwa on a free transfer.

KDB might be the solution; play him down the middle, just in behind Aguero, where he is the biggest threat. He has a great cross on him but think he's a little wasted on the wings. He has all the attributes to become a true great in the game, and think he's good for 15+ goals plus many many assists if he's used correctly.

Should be the first player in everyone's fantasy football team next season

Roberts not going to play In a better league on loan?

He needs game time, he gets that at Celtic. Still very young so just playing first team football regardless of where it is (within reason) can only be beneficial.

Think Pellegrini should let it go now
City signed the highest profile manager in the world ,was always going to be a difficult transition

Really interesting summer for City, I have watched them live probably 20 times over the last 3 years and think they need a massive squad overhaul

Couldn't understand how many were saying they had clearly got the best biggest squad etc ...

So many of their players are past their best Toure,Kolorov,Zabba,Silva etc.... all who could have been in any PL best 11 in the past
Plus Kompany obv must have doubts if he can keep coming back from his injury hell
Bony must be leaving so poor this year
Leaves Pep with a lot of decisions

I don't think Kolarov would ever have troubled a PL best XI

There will be a few heading towards the exit door, that's for sure. Pep is notorious for using as small a squad as possible. Can see Zabaleta, Kolarov, Bony, MDM, Toure all being moved on, with question marks over the heads of Fernando, Delph, Navas and a couple others.

Got some exciting kids at the academy, possibly too early for some of them, but Guardiola has a great reputation for bringing through young talent. And there is plenty of talent there, we absolutely smash the local area so much that united refuse to play us now (apparently). Ironically it looks like us and Chelsea have the best youth teams in the country.

Denayer will be back from Turkey as well, with Roberts due to spend another season north of the border with Celtic.

Exciting times

Kompany to be on the panel for BBCs coverage of Euro 16.

Shearer/Jenas etc might as well just stay home now.

Edit....apparently they have Ferdinand as well. A Grand Canyon sized gap between them in more ways than one. I look forward to watching Rio try to string a sentence together. You've got 4 weeks Rio to get one right, no rush.

Anyone watch the Man U-Liverpool game today? Thoughts?

Are Man Utd better then everyone else or is it just a poor PL this season?

Will they win a record 19th title this season?

Who do we need to buy to replace an ageing Giggs/Scholes?

Is Berba the real deal or should he go

SAF replacement? Mourinho or Guardiola?

5 1/2 years down the line, I bet you didn't for one second think that City would land Guardiola whilst you get stuck with Mourinho almost by default.

How times have changed

In 5 years time, I look forward to the outpouring of people heralding United's 'famed' youth academy, with people pointing at Oxford as a great example of coming through the ranks.

Least you can do the same with Sterling

He'll be back at QPR by then.

Ruined our season, ruined my life, just absolutely ruined.

I hope City sign him, perfect foil for Aguero.

Lol at Hart ever signing for your lot.

You might be able to tempt Big Willy though, which is kinda ironic seeing as you've just hired a massive cock.

Nice reasonable debate till the City fans turn up :p

Manchester City FC; ruining football debates since 2008.

He has a point. best to avoid irrational biases in these debates, they work better then

Lol no fun, jokes or tongue in cheek comments allowed.
