Well it does not look like Mendy will face anything serious at Man City if the words of his manager are anything to go by
Guardiola: "Of course it was not correct what he has done, but don't judge him too much. Maybe many people have done the same."
Exactly how I feel about the situation we need quality over quantity put the money into the starting 11.
Including Locadia we have six strikers on our books but only play 1-2 ever on the pitch at the same time. Get rid of the fringe and invest in a quality striker.
Ditto in midfield

It was £25m but I think we stepped out when the player made it clear he wanted to go to Benfica but agree he is hardly pulling up trees!!
I like the look of Dia but talks broke down on that one so not sure what made us walk away
Agree that is a challenge and one that we keep failing at. For me I think we are going to have to break both our transfer record and our wage structure to get in someone who can make a difference as strikers in our range would be £30m + sizeable wages.
The club seems reluctant to spend those...
White strikes me as someone who would excel in one of the top sides where the defending is not so ‘backs to the wall’.
I can see why a lot of top clubs are monitoring him but for me I would cash in and use what would be a sizeable fee to buy some real quality in our attacking positions.
The...
No I don’t think it is possible as we do not have the finances to fund a squad of the quality that could sustain a spell in the top 10. There are examples of average squads where things click and propel clubs like us up there for a season and that could be within our reach if we stay around...
I would say given they sacked Hughton for just avoiding the drop that Bloom and the senior management team have ambitions higher than where we currently find ourselves. I would suggest the fans ambitions match the owners and I don’t for a second believe that they would not be looking at the...
This is nothing new this is no different to Hughton, Sami, MIcky Adam’s 2 etc
Team on bad run with no sign of turning the corner comes under question from large sections of the fan base. It has happened here before numerous times and it happens at every other club as well.
In comparison GP...
I think the thing that is troubling most is where is the evidence he can turn it around?
We are seeing the same issues in every game with no green shoots to suggest results are going to improve.
Personally I don’t think he is going anywhere as the board will back him but unless he can start...
As MOTD pointed out we are the second worse in the division for goals conceded from crosses and set pieces behind Leeds. This is definitely a problem area for us and one we need to address.
For all the height we have our defenders are more comfortable with the ball at their feet than in the...
It’s the margins at this level that make the league so unforgiving. If you remove just a couple of the numerous missed chances or lapses in concentration we probably have another 3-4 points and would be about where most of us would expect and be happy with.
The consistency of that failure is...
