Yaya is almost certain to leave. I could see Silva leaving, if the price was right/decent, but I don't think they'll sell him just to get rid of him. I wouldn't be surprised to see Bony leave either.

In no way do I see Messi leaving Barca at this point. As far as Pogba goes, is he a Pep type player? I'm not sure Pep is going to want to drop 70-80m on Pogba.

IF we were to get Messi I could see Silva going...but that ain't happening. So Silva stays.

Yaya has been gone. I'm still kinda surprised he didn't leave this past summer.

Pogba....idk. Maybe.

City Watch ?@City_Watch
City have just 14 senior players available at the moment, with a brutal run of fixtures coming up.

Navas out for a month or so. Nasri and KDB won't be back till April. Bony out for longer too. We're going to get a lot of defensive line ups with Delph and Kolorav on the left.

Also the FA kind of screwed us with scheduling. City lose a day of rest before playing at Kiev later this month. The FA moved the FA Cup match against Chelsea to Sunday afternoon, which is exactly what a team that is full of injuries and playing in 4 competitions wants.

City Watch bringing the jokes.

Any chance we recall Roberts with KDB, Nasri and now Navas out?

It's not like I talk to the management or anything, but I think it's very unlikely. City and Celtic have a good relationship, and City isn't going to threaten that over Roberts. Besides I don't think Roberts is ready for the PL. They moved him to Celtic to get him ready for the physicality. He's small like Pozo was.

I'd imagine there'll be a Brandon Barker and/or Bersant Celina sighting though. Maybe even Angelino in an attacking role, which may be his future anyway.

What's that...about a 350 Million Euro transfer fee?

I expect to see Barker in there for sure. Apparently we're also putting Aleix Garcia in the squad tomorrow.

Also, I think I saw that with the FA cup game against Chelsea being put on Sunday for some freaking reason we're going to play a much weaker side because we have to fly to Kiev the next day.

Not looking good.....

Apparently the FA doesn't want a Chelsea home match and a Fulham match at the same time. So they want to move the Chelsea/City match for TV and safety reasons. City asked them to move it to Friday. TV/FA said no. So they made it Sunday afternoon.

The FA does such a great job helping their CL squads.

Demichelis is the worst. There's no way Cameron Humphries can't be better than him.

Games like today are why I'm happy with moving on from Pellegrini. Starting Demichelis and Kolorav in defense were terrible decisions. Plus Delph has never played well on the left.

I have no idea why he keeps playing Demichelis. Go with Sagna till Kompany or Mangala are fit if you don't trust Humphries yet. His trust in players definitely doesn't come from results on the pitch, and it's maddening at times.

I just don't understand the thought process behind playing the best counter attacking team in the league, and then starting your two slowest and worst defenders.

Edit: City are going to really miss KDB's corners. Watching today was reminiscent of last season when City couldn't do anything from set pieces. KDB's ability to consistently put in good corners has been a huge boost to the team this season.

Today was bad. We're now down to 13 senior level players fit since Silva screwed his ankle again. Sterling is our only attacking mid.

God this has been brutal.

ETA: Celina didn't look bad today. At all.

Why do people make stupid, pointless images like that? Still so much salt from Liverpool supporters.




Also, as an aside, City suck.

Rumors are that Manu Garcia and Brandon Barker made the trip to the Ukraine.

I thought they both had sparks on Sunday, but I'd be surprised to see either hit the field. If I had to choose one though, I'd think it would be Manu.

Just getting wrecked.

That second goal was absolutely dirty by whoever No. 9 is for Madrid

We've allegedly (and I use that term loosely) agreed to terms to sign Aymeric Laporte from Athletic Bilbao. Another CB.

Good addition if true.

Don't see how this helps at all with Denayer though. May never see him in sky blue.

Well MDM will be gone, mangala MAY go, and Denayer can play multiple positions. Plus VK misses big time every season. Denayer will be there.
