Noisy Neighbours - the Man City thread

[horseplayer]

Coleman?!?!

The 6 signings there will cost the lot as well if they are gettable

[tikay]

word is Pellegrini wanted it public (having been made aware a month ago) so other clubs were aware he is available in the summer

Multiple sources broke the news on Twitter in mid July, no way they only told Pellegrini last month.

And Twitter is never wrong or full of shit.

Too good Mr Plumpy, too good.

You debate well.

My years of ''debating'' next door have helped

I have a feeling we're gonna see many of these XI's over the coming months. Surprised Howey didn't slot himself in alongside Vinny.

Of course, anyone with half a brain knows that although there will be a couple of additions, this isn't Football Manager.

Pogba is the one please Pep.....

It's an unusual role reversal, usually folks from Next Door are, you know, compliant there, & a bit more lairy here, as we can be a bit more liberal here, whereas you are the other way round.

I was chatting privately to the F1 Man, Peter27 yesterday, I daresay he'll show up on Fred sometime soon, in time for the new season. He's still very bearish on McLaren, thinks they'll finish plum last in the Constructors, whereas I fancy they'll do better this year.

All that aside, what a wonderful thing this is, getting Pep, good for Man C, & very good for the EPL generally, too.

You'll get a lot of sniping from Team Jealous, of course, but I'm pretty sure you'll cope.

It's a game-changer, in so many ways.

Klopp has not pulled up any trees (yet), although, to be fair, he has poor material to work with. Even so, I love these new personalities in our domestic game. Can't say LvG exctly gets my pulses racing, but I don't have any issue with him.

Add in the amazing Leicester City saga, the performance of teams such as Watford, Palace, Spurs, Bournemouth all doing well, the woeful performances by both North East Clubs, & Villa stumbling from crisis to crisis, & now, on top of all this, Hello Pep, this is the most fascinating EPL season ever. IMO, of course.

[POWWWWWWWW]

Summer transfer window is going to be insane, esp with all the TV money coming through. The Chinese seem to be going a bit mental atm as well. Be interesting to see if City stick or twist on their defence and who replaces Yaya.

We can swear here though, I don't have to be clever to beat the filters

Agreed about it being the best league in years. Just such a unique situation to have a team who survived by the skin of their teeth the previous season to be romping towards the title. We really have to throw a spanner in the works on Saturday lunchtime, and then follow that up with a win against Spurs Sunday week; 6 points from those and that should put us in the driving seat, albeit with all still to play for.

The good thing about it being confirmed that Pep is coming in, is that the preparation for next season, behind the scenes, starts now. The guys have to do the business on the pitch and focus entirely on that, but the powers that be can just look ahead to the summer. I'm sure Guardiola has identified some players he'd like, and these players plus any other potential targets are all aware that Guardiola will be managing us for 2016/17 onwards.

Having said all that, I don't anticipate wholesale changes. A marquee signing or 2, but nothing like what Steve Howey thinks

[TightEnd]

it was asked on the lcfc thread (where i am looking forward to vardy against de mich and otamendi tomorrow)

"Kompany aside how do man city have such a poor central defence despite spending fortunes? "

and then saw this from caley....



over to you...

conned into making a v big bet on city tomorrow. going to need somebody to reassure me they will win so that i can sleep! who's up?

[Marky147]

They'll win.

Get your nut down, Pads

[hhyftrftdr]

Well, at least we kept Vardy quiet.

[TightEnd]

Well, at least we kept Vardy quiet.

he had six genuine goal-scoring chances including two one on ones?

Kompany needs to be back asap imo. otamendi and de michelis all over the shop, and the full backs weren't much better. kolarov had a stinker

what was wrong with yaya? injured?

It was firmly tongue in cheek

Wouldn't even know where to start after that performance in what was such a crucial game.

Clinging onto the hope that we've recovered from worse positions with less games, but that's about it. Failure to beat a single top 8 side this season is more than a concern.

Enjoy the title and Champions League football, you can look forward to glamorous away days like Dynamo Kiev
