Noisy Neighbours - the Man City thread

Any Man City opinions on Bersant Celina?  Swansea are close to signing him for £3m apparently. Had a good season on loan at Ipswich last hear by all accounts.

Talented kid with a really good work ethic. He impressed at Ipswich last year.

Another one who perhaps doesn't quite have top level potential to really force his way into contention at City, but should still carve out a really good career for himself. Think you've got a bargain at £3m.

Wonder if we have any sell on/buy back clauses in the deal? Fee seems quite low so I'm guessing there is something worked in.

Thanks for reply.
Deal completed now, looking forward to watching him play.
We're being linked with another Man City youngster Lukas Nmecha on loan this time. Looks like we're trying to get the youngest squad in the efl at this rate

Nmecha is great - big hopes for him at City.
A goal machine in the U23 PL2 division last season - 15 in 11 apps  and he is only 19. So, promoted to the 1st team squad for the 2nd half of the season.
He's done well in the City pre-season tour. Physically stood up to VVD and that takes some doing.
Still raw and learning his trade but potentially a great loan signing.

What's going to happen to our old friend Bony?

He'll continue to count his wages.

4 goals in the last 2 seasons. Plagued with injuries though.

Pretty much this. The club are desperately trying to send him out on loan but struggling to get any takers by the look of it, him still being injured and apparently on 100k a week obviously isn't helping

No more Joe Hart.

Gotta be happy with £3.5m fee and his £6m annual wage off the bill, and it's a decent move for him as well. Not sure how the pecking order will look once both Pope and Heaton are fit again but at least he has a chance to stake his claim to be No1.

I'm sure he'll get a great reception on his return this season, will be weird seeing him line up against us, but time waits for no man and it was the right decision for all involved to move him on.

Anyone who says (and I've seen a fair few City fans claim this) that Hart should've been No2 and Bravo sold really doesn't get it

Knee ligament damage, sustained in training, means KDB will be out for 3 months at least.

Man City supporters won't be best pleased, assuming we have any here. Most are Man U & Maureen fans I think.

Of all the players to arrive in the PL over the last few years deBruyne is the one that i would most want to play for my team.
Sadly, I think City are capable of minimising the impact of his absence.

Yes, agree with you on both points there. Easily the most influential player in the EPL. Plays the game the right way too, not one to do all the injury theatricals & simulated diving from what I've seen.

The City players at the premiere of the Amazon documentary last night.

They earn all that money, & not one of them has a suit or tie on. And they are all wearing chuffing plimsolls.

WTF?

In that case, I'll wear my best bermuda shorts and vest
