Bredbury Blue Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 Gunn sold on for 10 to 14 million quid (profit) depending on the source. "Angus Gunn has joined Southampton on a permanent deal. The 22-year-old goalkeeper spent last season with Norwich City, making 51 appearances while at Carrow Road and keeping 15 clean sheets. Gunn, who joined the Blues in 2011, never played first-team football for City, despite being on the bench several times. He signed aged 15 from Norwich, where his father Bryan played for many years and briefly managed. Gunn has represented England at various levels from Under-16s to Under-21s, winning 11 caps with the latter. He was also called into Gareth Southgate’s senior squad for the friendly against Brazil in November 2017 and will hope to continue his progression at Southampton. Everybody at Manchester City wishes Angus the very best in his future career." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah Ronaldinho ! Mahrez will get time on the right side. Pep has already indicated that Spanish Dave won't be playing every game. So, Bernardo Silva will likely move into D. Silva's role, and Mahrez in B. Silva's space on the right. Though Sterling will be on the right side at times as well, when he's not giving Sane a rest on the left. You know City have a bunch of nice attacking footballers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bredbury Blue Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 Pep now likes to play our wide forwards/wingers on their natural side (first season he was another favouring inverted wingers), the exception being Bernardo who has no pace to go on the outside. Mahrez i believe is a left footed rightwinger so i expect Pep will use him both sides till he works out what's best. Both Sane and Sterling aren't as effective playing on their 'wrong side'. Should be exciting - 3 wingers in Sane, Sterling and Mahrez. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesus, you're an angry keyboard warrior aren't you. No lies, and no I'm not familiar with every comment posted on your Spurs thread, but both you and Ronnie had joked about our purchase of Mahrez to which i have to assume that you don't rate him. Earlier you didn't respond to my post (below) -hence my assumption on your part - so go on then, and answer it and clear up why City buying Mahrez is funny to you: "Carmine, do you not rate Mahrez then, or, do you rate him but are laughing at the fee, or, you don't rate him and are laughing at the Fee?"

Ronnie, there's an article by the City reporter in M.E.N. that at 60m quid we got a bargain. Have a read: https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/barcelona-liverpool-transfer-mahrez-coutinho-14864021 A comment by a blue on the webpage summons up how we feel about our current transfer strategy: "What you don't grasp thicko, is that City used to have to pay five star money for four star players, because we needed those players (at any cost) to get to where we wanted to be. Now, we have a squad more than capable of winning the league again, which we don't desperately need to improve. If the price isn't right, we walk away."

Bredbury Blue Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 ^Re walking away BBC "Chelsea sign Napoli midfielder after Man City pull out of deal Manchester City are not very impressed at all at how this has worked out because they thought an agreement was in place. They are of the opinion that part of the fee Napoli will receive from Chelsea - likely to be about £57m - will be considered compensation for Sarri's departure. Their view is that it was made clear to Jorginho that Napoli would only do business with Chelsea - and with the player desperate to move to the Premier League, City lost out. City have walked away from deals before when the fees involved got too high, notably with Alexis Sanchez and Riyad Mahrez. And they feel Mahrez's subsequent arrival from Leicester this summer for a club record £60m - much less than they were quoted in January - proved the wisdom of that approach. Manager Pep Guardiola had viewed Jorginho as a replacement for Yaya Toure and he is now assessing his options. The return of left-back Benjamin Mendy after missing most of last term means it is possible Fabian Delph could be used in a central midfielder role instead, meaning there would be no need to bring in an additional signing."

Damn...we didn't factor a cruciate in the purchasing agreement. Seriously, on the positive side, Mendy replaced Kolorov and Clichy and we weren't able to bring in another LB before last season started, Mendy gets injured and through that we find out Delph is an excellent standin LB and probably saves his career and we find out Zinchenko is a capable LB and puts himself in the shop window for a likely 15m transfer. Net result is we no longer need to buy a LB (SAVING), we discover 2 squad players good enough to play first team football and it looks like we'll make a tidy profit selling on Zinchenko.
