@RealTolmie We would have to lose non homegrown players. I can only see Bernardo going so that would only free 1 space up.

City's interest in Sandro Tonali could be helped by Newcastle still wanting to sign James Trafford this summer.

@thegingerwig Didn't he sign a new deal earlier this season ? We also have Reis to come back. I do think it's time to cash in on Dias.

Khusanov, Gvardiol, Guehi Ruben might be in trouble

@AndrewGold_ok @PeterBleksley Did they ever get brought to justice for that ? Or did 2 Tier just make it go away?

Former cop Peter Bleksley on the Manchester Airport incident that changed everything... @PeterBleksley

@radhoo12 Marmouch should be starting over Haaland on form and the fact nobody other than Cherki can play a through ball from midfield for him to run onto.

To recap: - drops some of our best 3 players of the last 3 months in Nunes, Cherki & RAN. - insists on singling Rodri in another 4-2-4 type of system after finding a 4-2-2-2 that worked, despite the fact that the one man Rodri show saw us lose so badly to Bodo and United it probably fully derailed our season. - asks Khusanov to be a RB at the Bernabeu. - starts a wing pairing that has never worked for as long as they’ve played together. - nobody knows what Semenyo’s position, role, tactical approach was last night. Not even Semenyo by the looks of it. - sees Guehi struggle like fuck, does nothing to mitigate it. - sees gaping hole the size of Manchester in midfield, does nothing to mitigate it. Brings on Reijnders despite the fact that we needed control, not another box crasher. - sees YouTube sensation score 2 in 17 games, and does nothing to mitigate it. - drops our best midfielder in Nico G completely despite the fact that he ran Rodri in the ground till his body broke. Here we go again. - finds CB pairing that actually complements itself in Khusanov and Guehi and insists of Dias who can’t play a high line anymore, and reminds me of Maguire running back. - moves O’Reilly to LB after winning POTM and multiple MOTM performances as a midfielder. - still can’t play Marmoush to his strengths. - finds a double 10 system before Christmas and then fully kills it for no other reason than bringing Rodri back. Foden’s entire season tanks from that point onwards. - drops Cherki consistently for no reason, then waits till the 70th-80th minute to bring him on. - had 10 + corners against Madrid and no one hit or touched the ball in the box. Please go and watch this. ( we have a striker that can play in the NBA btw ) Did I miss anything?

@radhoo12 He keeps trying this 424 and it doesn't work. Teams just run through our midfield. What has Nico G done wrong? Put him in a 3 with Rodri and Nico O.

@afneil Serious question. Do we have any fully operational naval ships? Do our carriers actually carry planes? Do our subs work. Are any ships fit for purpose?

And what will make up the escort group?

@henrywinter Great player, just never fit.

A fit John Stones has to go to the World Cup. Wonderful footballer. He’s only 31 and brings so much. He brings experience (87 caps), composure, reads danger, handles pressure, has good distribution, steps into midfield and is important at attacking corners as well as defending them. Guehi and Konsa obviously go to World Cup. Tuchel loves Burn. Chalobah and Quansah in contention while Colwill in race for sharpness post-ACL. Maguire? Stones surely in the 26 if he maintains fitness. Dias-Guehi obviously City first choice but good to see Stones seizing opportunity of a start and playing well. And something FA and managers set great store by: Stones is a “good tourist”, popular around the camp and a great role model for the younger players. Just needs to stay fit. #MCFC #ENG #FACup

@GeronimoMorgans Szlob from Liverpool would be an ideal replacement. We are going to need home grown players though. Especially if, Stones, Trafford and Ake leave.

If Bernardo leaves this summer, who do we target in the market to replace (or at least replicate) some of his unique qualities? Who’s the most Bernardo Silva-esque profile out there?

@cityreport_ KDB was better playing deep and threading through balls.

Pep Guardiola: “All I want from Rayan [Cherki] is to give his talent to us. The only thing I ask from him is to play 10 metres further forward. His talent close to Rodri? I don’t care… [I want him] close to Erling. How come we scored the first goal [vs Forest]? Him being closer. How come the Ait-Nouri assist vs Leeds? He’s close to the box. Live closer to the box, because he’s unique. That’s all I ask. He likes to go a little bit deep, but he’s young. His numbers and his impact in his first season in the Premier League have been massive. I’m delighted. What he gives to us. He’s trying. We always tell [the players] to add stuff to their game for the team, he always listens and wants to do it. I’m really surprised how open he is and his commitment to want to do it. Egoistically I want his talent in the final third, because he’s unique. Has vision in his passing, like Kevin [De Bruyne]. When I played Kevin I wanted him close to the box. I don’t want him in right-back positions. It’s not easy because the space is minimal but he has the ability to find the small spaces to create, with his talent.” 🎥 youtu.be/IGDhFJVQdKk

@GBNEWS Stop every benefit they are currently getting, including housing them. Her idea just makes it more attractive to come here.

@BeersnBlues And Piccadilly station is closed.

People wanna know why seats are empty at City. It’s not for the working class anymore. They want the day trippers spending £££

@Ticketmancity @nuthatch123 Its going to get worse. Over the last 10 years clubs have priced out kids going. They are the next generation of fans. Its business madness. No wonder atmosphere is dead with half and half camera phone tourist fans.

@nuthatch123 Another poor turnout. Galatasary might be the worst ive ever seen for an important game. Newcastle was another bad one. Seems ti be happening everywhere now, which might not be a bad thing

So many blues thinking i’m running an agenda. No. It got busier than the photo, yes. But it was quiet yesterday and with the fixture i’m not expecting an outrageous turn out. But my point - we’d get bigger crowds if the club weren’t pricing proper fans out and encouraging tourism

@RodneyMarsh10 They have lost the next generation of local fans. Priced the kids out.

>Man City should have dropped the ticket price today to £10 General admission.......

@SznJosko Too late I feel.

Wonder when city realise they’ve fucked up

@mcfc_lads Szob would be a great replacement for Bernardo next season.

This season it’s O’Reilly left back, Nunes right back, Szoboszlai in midfield, and Doku left wing! #AD

@mcfc_lads @SamLee I also wouldn't mind Anderson to replace Kovacic. Rodri and Foden will only have 12 months on their contracts come Summer. They need renewing rapid.

Manchester City are looking for a potential replacement for Bernardo Silva in the upcoming summer transfer window. 🔜 [via @SamLee]

@mcfc_lads @SamLee Slobazlai carnt spell his name, would be a perfect replacement. Bags of energy, good on the ball and can play in different positions.

@mcfc_lads Our midfield used to be the best in World Football. Its the worst that it has been in the 15 years now. Rodri cannot do it on his own. Play him and Nico together at the base of midfield. Every team is pouring right through our midfield.

Full-Time in North London as Manchester City draw 2-2 vs Spurs after leading 2-0 at Half Time.

@CityLegend08 @WeareManC1ty Its not just 1 game. This has been the last 18 months. The lack of fight in the Derby and against Bodo, is a joke.

@WeareManC1ty Not the type of language from a city supporter, just because of one game. You should be calling out the ridiculous VAR decision on that first goal.

We’re f*^king s*^t!!!!

@Common_SensePod @lawrence_bury YaYa was also a bit tasty. Just wasn't there for long enough.

@lawrence_bury Fuck off 😂 James ward prowse was better than Rice

Declan Rice must be top 5 at set pieces the league has ever seen
