You won't be too surprised if I'm not too optimistic about tomorrow with our terrible Anfield record, but this team has surprised me many times this season, we've rid ourselves of the Old Trampford fear and Arsenal away hoodoo in recent seasons, so maybe, just maybe I'll see only my 3rd ever Anfield victory (I'll be happy with a draw):

I'd take a point now if it were offered

You can afford such generosity.

 

I'd take 5-0 to the mickeys.

You'll be telling me next Sane is rightfooted based on the one time he used it!

Nah, just that Fernandinho's a defensive midfielder.  And every time i see him play thats what i see.

 

Want to borrow some specs?

[Bredbury Blue]

^Unbelievable! Keep watching us my son. But I will concede that in a midfield with Silva and KDB, that Fernandinho currently does take the role of defensive midfielder and he's doing it pretty well.

So is Delph really a leftback cause you've seen him play their recently? ;-)

No.

Very good Carmine.

Is Zinchenko a leftback cause he's playing there currently?

Fernandinho's a defensive midfielder regardless of how juvenile you wish to be and has been every time i've seen him play.

Let em have him at that price. I only want players who want to come to us and don't want us to get in a bidding war for a 29 year old out of contract in a few months

I'm all for that. I doubt Sanchez wants to go to United anyhow. If he comes to City, fine, if not that's OK as well.

Sanchez has rather shot himself in the foot because its so obvious he wants to go to City.  And as you say,  unlikely he's want to play for Mourinho's United although that move has more to offer Arsenal if the rumors are true.

[Bredbury Blue]

Fernandinho's a defensive midfielder. Classic!

Sorry to take the piss but this shows what can happen when a fan who doesn't follow a club thinks he knows more about that club than a fan of that club. Let's blame your misunderstanding of Fernandinho on Alfie shall we, who raised this (apparently) in the first instance.

If Arsenal favors the United offer, and why wouldn't they, the ball will be back in Sanchez's court. Hold out for a City move now, accept the United deal, or play out the season at Arsenal. More intrigue.

We can cut to the chase by saying Fernandinho is a great DM and also very often instrumental in City's attacking build up. Especially against the many sides that park the bus.

Loanee Bersant Celina scored a decent goal yesterday

Check out his Wiki page.  Hoe "classic" and "unbelievable" is that for you!!  All that hyperbole doesn't make you correct!

 

Being a fan of a club doesn't make you knowledgeable.  Biased and self opinionated quite possibly but knowledgeable, not necessarily.

If he's decided he wants to work with Pep then i would expect him to sit it out till the summer.  Ultimately Arsenal should have sold him in the summer and Wenger, being pig headed said no.  Now, he has a player who desperately wants to leave and the chosen club playing hard ball.

Re: Yaya's replacement

MAIL & MEN -

City keeping "tabs on Lille midfielder Boubakary Soumare...The 18-year-old only joined Lille from Paris Saint-Germain in the summer impressed with his energetic, box to box performances. They have discussed a £40million bid for Shakhtar Donetsk's Fred, who is also on Manchester United's wishlist, while Jean-Michael Seri of Nice has also been considered...City have 'made contact' with the agent of Nice midfielder Jean Seri..."

Don't worry, while you keep signing players on hugh salaries they'll always want to come to you !

Do you not read Alfie? I was saying for us not to get into a bidding war and offer him more than United. We have hopefully set out our deal and if United offer him and Arsenal more, then let him choose but let's not keep upping the deal.

Yes i can read cos i read you saying "I only want players who want to come to us"  which was the part i replied too !

 

Anyway while we are on the subject of players coming to you, do you think that all the players that have came to you over the last few years would have come to you if you had only been paying an average Premiership wage ?

too true, mostly from the Spuds camp, down to not winning a crumpet for so many years, poor lost souls

Who's arguing ? just stating a fact  while you keep signing players on hugh salaries they'll always want to come to you !

[mrbojangles]

Alfie. Almost every post you write (particularly on the City thread) is to initiate an argument. You always throw rocks at posts or comment purely just to slag off. I'd love to engage with you if you have something constructive to discuss. Until then............................

MrBj, to cheer you up, as you have no choice as a Mod but to read everybody's posts on here, watch this which just popped up for me on YouTube.

I've never seen this before - the City and United games shown synchronised - loved it
