Thinks Di Zerbi is better than Pep.
Youre nun is a false 9.
Don’t bring horse’s religion into it ffs.
Youre nun is a false 9.
Oh jesus!Youre nun is a false 9.
Where's the post in which I insulted you?
Stop making things up.
Is it so hard to write - I dont agree with you instead of rubbish, drivel, garbage?
As I said calm the fek down.
You’ve edited it out, as you know.
Sure mate, sure.
Just out of interest, what did that imagined edited part say?
If you think that and that you're a naive kid isnt exactly a personal insult but I apologize if it offended you.You called me a ‘naive kid’.
Which as a miserable depressive well into my 40s, I’ll choose to take as a compliment

You know what, I was thinking about offering a truce. Even apologized.No need to apologise. As I just explained, I chose to take it as a compliment.
I’m more offended by the absolute nonsense you’ve posted.
Welcome to the club. More people will come up and admit they were wrong after seeing this guy play.I was wrong with my post in his other closed thread. Thought that he'd be strictly a no. 10 replacing Bruno, with Bruno is taking Eriksen's. Well, even Sir Alex could sometimes wrong.
wtfOkay. So you explained all those numbers but missing out on the number 7. Feck me.... it's another Jesse Lingard.
It's an opinion that you don't agree with, not sure why you feel offended, particularly when it wasn't an assertion, but @Real Name offering what he thinks. I personally didn't feel it warranted the aggressive wording of the response. Had me wondering if you folks have a history of some sort.No need to apologise. As I just explained, I chose to take it as a compliment.

Wide right is also an option. Decent player to have off the bench.I know he's only just joined but should we try him as a false 9?
We're in the wonderful pre-season period when everything is looking up and the possibilities are endless and exciting. And then the actual football will start.Welcome to the club. More people will come up and admit they were wrong after seeing this guy play.

Don't make me say his name!Bruno and Mount are going to create a ton of chances together. Now we just need someone to finish them off.
Don't make me say his name!
A week ago I thought he was crap.
Today I think he's a handsome bastard who's going to revloutionise our midfield
Ronaldo is coming home?Bruno and Mount are going to create a ton of chances together. Now we just need someone to finish them off.
Thank you. Couldn't explain my point in the middle of rubbish, drivel, garbage and all other words.It's an opinion that you don't agree with, not sure why you feel offended, particularly when it wasn't an assertion, but @Real Name offering what he thinks.

For what it's worth, I think players probably prefer to go to clubs where there are settled owners with a track record of success, however, while I think it's a reasonable expectation, I can't say for sure that a sizeable number of them aren't more invested in the numbers on their contract as I don't have direct experience in signing players.

Right on. We have been doing that a lot last season, often it looks like 325 as well.Having given some more thought to the purchase of Mason Mount, I think I have changed my mind quite a bit. My initial reaction to his signing was that we were signing a second player to play in a double pivot or even as a 10 to move Bruno out wide and I didn't like either of those options.
But now I realise there might be another plan. As we saw last season, a lot of teams have started to switch from a midfield triangle to a midfield box. City have been doing it for a while now and this season we have seen a lot of other teams adopt this strategy, most notably Arsenal and Brighton.
Essentially, what many of these teams are doing is moving one of their double pivot players higher up the pitch, effectively becoming a second number 10, and moving one of their defenders from the back four into the double pivot. Often it's one of the FBs, or in City's case, a CB, who takes up the defensive midfield position.
We tried this at times last season, with Eriksen and Fred in particular, while Shaw or Dalot moved into the double pivot. Shaw usually did this when AWB was playing and Dalot when he was playing.
The problem we had was that Eriksen didn't have the legs to play such a demanding role and Fred didn't have the tactical discipline or the skills to be a consistent threat in attack.
Mason Mount solves that problem. His work-rate, ball-playing ability, tactical nous and attacking threat would make him a good candidate to succeed in the role, and if we remember a while back, he was enjoying arguably the best period of his career as the second number 10 in Tuchel's system. If ten Hag really plans to use him in this way, and I think he will, Mason Mount could be a really good player for us.
Players probably don‘t factor in owners too much when they make moves. A coach is a much bigger factor.Maybe not at all but I dont think they dont move to club cause of the owners.
Try to keep this conversation somewhat civil if you're even capable of that.
You're a milimeter away from personal insults it seems.
Agreed.Players probably don‘t factor in owners too much when they make moves. A coach is a much bigger factor.
Although if we were owned by Qatari scum some players might think twice.

Mbappé isn‘t extending his contract.Name 1 player that has rejected City, Newcastle, PSG because of the owners?
