Leroy Sane signs for City...

This guy is supposed to be well respected as well.

I'll wait til City announce it but Raheem really needs to up his game if this guy arrives.

Plays on the right i think...so Navas should be.

Forget about Navas. Look at who we have in midfield and then work out if Raheem is in the top 5.

Silva
Gundogan
Fernandinho
Sane
KdB

If we're buying Sane, I expect him to play.

None of them are wide players.

but they get in in front of sterling for me. I'd play narrow rather than pick him above any of them.
You'd drop one of them for sterling???

Welcome to the dark side Dawg, this season will bring the rest over with us .

Doubt it.

If you look at KDB last night, he was woeful, but then again, Belgium were pants.

I really hope you're right Andy.

Well according to Dawg, he may as well be sold, because he won't get a game under Pep - as he'd prefer to play Fernandinho, Silva, Sane, KDB and Gundogan as a left winger!

I've not been a big fan of Raheem for many months because he just doesn't do enough for me.

Belgium were horrendous and Italy were superb.

Probably about 4-6 months ago I said I'd play Navas before I played Sterling. And Navas has no end product and frustrates me.

Do we need to play with a left winger? We've won plenty of games with KdB, Silva, Yaya and the two Ferdies and I'm sure none of them are left wingers.

Sterling isn't a left winger.. thats the problem with him being stuck out there as one.

Maybe he should be played on the right, atleast he can use his right foot .

I agree...I don't get why he doesn't play him wide right for England. When did all this 'play right footed players on the left' start??

Do you play left footed defenders at RB??

I played LB and I'm right footed. If you're good enough you can play either side.

Sterling shone 3 seasons ago in that Liverpool team With Sturridge up top suarez just behind & sterling playing deeper but running on past the front 2. He was superb. I remember him turning Vinny inside out before planting the ball in the net past Joe. The second season because of Brenda's bad Buys, Suarez gone & Sturridge a crock You had a 20 year old leading the line with great expectations on his shoulders. He did ok but really wasn't as effective as his breakthrough season.

Last season he showed glimpses of brilliance and a lot of bang average/ poor performances. I honestly think this 2 touches & pass certainly did not help him & the system of slow build up really does not play to his strengths. His breakaway goals against Bournemouth & his opener against Watford came from a sharp pass & in the net that to me is his strength, collecting the ball quickly & using it quickly. I think we will see a far better player under Pep's guidance.

Well said Oz.

It seems to me the more he has to think, the worse he is. He seems to have lost some of his natural ability or at least doesn't show it anymore.

New formation for City next season?

For Gundogan, there's only one.
"4-3-3," he said, quick as a flash, when asked his favourite.
"I think it's the modern way to play football now at the moment with fast wingers and a really good striker. We are lucky that we have one here."


Gundogan doing a live City podcast yesterday.
