    Yep. It’s what competitive, aspirational clubs do. We’ve got 14 years of bad habits to get rid of.

    Look at City. World Cup winning striker, and one of the standout players, Julian Alvarez is their sub.

    Also one thing City are good at is buying players who are quite comfortable playing in multiple positions. We need to find that guy who can play right across the front 3 without too much bother.

    Isak has so far been a complete waste of money ...Wood has been a better signing so far

    He’s young enough to be successful. But I agree it’s a worry he’s been injured for so long with a thigh injury.

    It must have been a muscle tear maybe?

    You should have looked at the facts. Yes he’s has the odd injury where he’s missed the odd game here and there. This was his worst injury.

    Let’s just focus on the fact he hit the ground running and got 2 goals in 3 appearances

    No thigh injury. It was his hamstring

    He got the injury because, unlike Wood, he actually runs around:

    Wasn’t even during a match, was away with Sweden which must have driven Howe ****ing mental.

    No it wasn't it was a thigh injury that he redid when he was almost back.

    Technically the hamstring is part of the thigh, so you might both be right.
    Just saying.

    Can Isak play off the right? Got to get him on the pitch 1st! I guess what I'm saying is Man City are v good at getting versatile players in. Due to previous financial limitations and poor management we have not.

    Wood has played more and got more goals... the most crucial thing is that he's capable of kicking a ball every week.
