By Laboured Go To PostJust reminded me of this.Had to look this up to see what the context was.
One of the top headlines on ESPN.com right now: "Jesus: Chose to leave City after Pep made me cry"
Poor guy will probably be teased mercilessly about this for awhile. Definitely going to go into a song you'd think. I feel a little bad for him honestly because I appreciate when people are honest about their feelings and emotions.

Looks like Gyokeres to Sporting is a goer, then. Even then, there's no way that rumoured fee for Simms is true if Coventry are signing him.
Maintain it'll be our most impactful signing this summer. Also maintain Onana will drop at least one outrageous cruyff turn-based clanger in the first 4 games which will result in some "should've kept DDG" comments, probably from Crusher.
Man U signing a good keeper is such terrible news
Daz is the one that actively doesn't think GK is a priority

De Gea was with us for 12 years and was world class for 3 or 4 of those. Can understand some people not wanting change. There'll be backlash as soon as Onana fucks up.
But overall, Onana will be a major positive. He'll prevent so many chances being created through his sweeping and also by not panicking when in possession. De Gea rarely came off his line and regularly shanked clearance kicks.
De Gea isn't a world class shot stopper anymore either. Onana is probably at least his equal there. We're getting a major upgrade if we sign him. Our most important signing of the summer.

I remember having a discussion with Usho a few years back where he said that DDG would prevent us from winning anything. At least for a couple ELs that was true.
Mount, Onana and a new striker is a good start, but it's just that. Good enough for another 4th place battle.

I think that depending on the system you play, there is a case that the GK is arguably the most important position on the pitch and probably second or third most at worst. Onana could be an absolute gamechanger for them.

Chelsea posted a "thread" (is that what they're being called? I feel like it needs a different word if it's just one post...) with an animation of a lion (not sure if lifted from The Lion King or not) and soccer ball on a Game Boy.. lots of speculation/hope that Nintendo will be announced as their shirt sponsor. Would be very obnoxious for me as a Nintendo fanboy.. but that would be incredibly cool for them if it happened. The video says, "It's a 90s thing" at the end.. so I think more realistically it will just be a throwback jersey for their away shirt but I guess we'll see.
I was going to say 'it's just a sponsor, who cares'. But then I remember avoiding an insurance company and a bank here, cause they sponsored Brøndby.
Anyway, I would be happy. Not that I love nintendo, but inoffensive logo, and not like... some shitty gambling or whatever. It is probably going to be that in the end though

Looks like Shea Charles is the latest City youth to Soton. £9m apparently per Fabrizio. I saw they signed a GK of ours too but no price was mentioned so probably fairly minimal. Impressive young player, glad he got his first team debut before he left.

Just the sight of it is revolting, horrific, I'm literally vomiting at the thought of it

Lavia replacement I guess. If he’s half as good he’ll do
Onana is a shoe in, absolutely the keeper we need. That’s two perfect matches, all we need is three in a row now. Not happening probably, the striker situation seems impossible to solve.
I liked Jesus for his work rate but good lord does that guy know how to be off side a lot.
But I also think it’s no coincidence we get rid and win a treble, he just doesn’t have that dependability in him.
I think it makes more sense that City has a stacked squad along with the best striker coming in more so than him leaving.
By Plasma Go To PostYeah it was definitely Gabriel Jesus holding you back from winning the treble.
It probably was tho tbf

It was 100% an upgrade to go from Jesus to Haaland, but it's too reductive. You might as well argue it was selling Sterling or Zinchenko.
Seems to me that the shift to four centre backs with Stones' dual role to control defensive transitions played as big a part, if not more, than Haaland stretching the defence the other end - not to mention fully transitioning from Sterling as wide winger to Grealish as controller, Rodri's improvement, etc. Haaland scored 52 in 53 last season - those goals came in 31 games. That means (FF, move over m8) there were 22 games in which Haaland did not score in.
I think Arsenal are making a mistake not signing a striker, Jesus is too poor of a finisher. Could see him being very useful as a Saka stand in, but Arteta doesn't like to rest Saka

Should sell Nketiah and use Balo

There's nothing to suggest Balogun is better than Nketiah at Prem level yet

I think Nketiah’s trash so I disagree barry
By n8 dogg Go To PostI think Nketiah’s trash so I disagree barryDangerous to be assuming Balogun is much better based on a (very good) single loan season in France. His season before that at Boro, he hardly set the league on fire (in fact his output was very similar to Nkeitah's Leeds loan) and we know how many strikers fail to make the jump from Champ to Prem.
Just for the record...I reckon Balogun probably is better. But it wouldn't surprise me if it isn't by much at all
