    Not sure where he would fit in for us, hes best in a deeper role but we have good depth in his better positions

    I'm not sure how much local pride there is being a Man City supporter tbh ...

    ... endless funds, distant foreign owner, foreign manager and most of the squad foreigners.

    Haaland arrived fully formed and guaranteed to score a bagful of goals ...

    ... kind of takes away much sense of real achievement tbh.

    A few clips certainly isn’t enough to determine how good someone is.

    Altidore and Prica looked mint in clips.

    Turner only cost about 4m, Hull were brassic. 12m was mooted when Liverpool tried to sign him.

    Thought he would be a good Amad replacement being able to play in any of the top 4 positions, suppose Dack is taking that place as well as the others covering the no 10 position

    Unless Leeds haven’t told him, we haven’t even asked about him never mind spoken to him. Clearly isn’t one anywhere near our thinking.

    This is the very last conversation I have with you, I cannot be arsed to converse with a two bit keyboard warrior.. your debate level is zero, you add NOTHING to this board. You do nothing but disrupt threads. You clearly have nothing in your life other than to be a total prick on a football forum.. Goodbye, enjoy your miserable life

    Yea thats why I'm asking. People seem divided about how good he is and hes certainly not a Stewart replacement
    Just wondering if anyone has seen much of him.

    Clarke and Ballard both signed " big" deals. We don't know what they were but can make educated guesses from other info and many have done that.

    Unless we are the only club in the league, or almost in history, not to value their leading goalscorer it can be assumed that Stewart was offered about the same as those two lads.

    His agent has been grossly negligent in not getting his player to sign that deal; a professional should always sign the first deal that can set him up. He and Stewart have rolled the dice. A bad injury is always around the corner waiting, and other deals or moves will come if he plays well enough.

    He has burned a lot of money sitting on his league one deal, and he is by no means guaranteed to get back to what he was. Any deal offered to him will be less than it would have been, until he shows he is back properly.

    We would all love if we won the PL or a cup but i dont want us to sell our soul for it. I love the club because what it means to me n my family and the rest of you will be the same

    I truely believe that KLD gets that with our club

    Anyone take Gelhardt back on loan?

    Personally I wouldn't. Don't think he was good enough last season, even if he did work his bollocks off.

    Speaking of keepers, I once fell short of signing Hugo Lloris by a quid on fifa. He wanted 7k a week and I could only offer him 6,999, both he and his agent slammed me for wasting their times and wished me farewell and they f**ked off out the door. I was fuming.

    It's hard but they have had a lot longer than these few days. It's been obvious for months on end I'd say. Even if he stays we need another.

    Hard or not, that's the job. It's like a bloke coming out to fix your heating system and telling you he can't do it properly because he doesn't have a multi-meter.

    Get one then like the other heating engineers is what we'd be saying to him.

    I’d take Gelhardt back for sure.

    I work with a lad from Manchester, life long City fan. Never been a dick about it and he tells me some of the old school supporters don't like what they have become. Can't get used to it and the fun has been taken out of the matches.... I wouldn't mind some of that for us mind.
