In love with @Eboue
Pellegrini just signed an extension to his contract till 2017.
Kind of weird that he wore no. 16 for nearly 5 years.
Weird they haven't said the full list of squad numbers yet
Weird how some on Bluemoon are so adamant its happening. I saw one in a thread about City being underrated for the season posting a team for the current season saying that it was amazing your strongest side wouldn't even contain Yaya Toure and it had De Bruyne on the wing and Delph in midfield with Fernandinho.Waiting for De Bruyne to sign before we do that

They all think (Bluemoon) that Pellegrini's new contract is a smokescreen.
I think it's a reward, he's won a double and finished second in his first two seasons. Say what you like but it is a good record. I agree it would be a bit strange that they'd give him new contract and just tell him to sod off.I think we will get him to be honest, we're almost certainly after him and he seems willing to join. We'll probably pay around the same as we did for Sterling.
Yeah, saw the same on Twitter earlier and was quite amazed at the delusion among some that Guardiola is one million percent joining us and this contract extension is meaningless. I perhaps don't share the infatuation with Guardiola that same fans do, however it would be madness to believe Pellegrini's been given another year with the club having zero intention of ever letting him see it out.
Just seems weird to me how things are taking so long on that front. Don't think you've even submitted an official offer yet?I think we will get him to be honest, we're almost certainly after him and he seems willing to join. We'll probably pay around the same as we did for Sterling.

If Nasri or Navas remain starters, despite the signing of Sterling, they can always bolster their options in that department. He's a significant upgrade on the aforementioned and could elevate City from a team finishing fourth, to title-winners.Why would they spend a fortune on KDB? Attacking midfield is one area where they don't need an improvement.
If you are not wumming then yeah I would probably agree. There attack has so many goals in it and if Kompany regains his old form and mangala finally settles it looks like a very nice team on paper (and on the pitch if today is anything to go by)Its just the 1st game but I see them as the biggest favorites for the title.
Big ifs concerning Mangala and Kompany though.If you are not wumming then yeah I would probably agree. There attack has so many goals in it and if Kompany regains his old form and mangala finally settles it looks like a very nice team on paper (and on the pitch if today is anything to go by)
It's a long season.Touré not looking quite as past it as some on here have been saying.
If/when they get De Bruyne then they'll be close. It's vital to have players who can open up teams who park the bus and they have them in abundance. Defence is still dodgy but there's talk of them signing a CB as well.Its just the 1st game but I see them as the biggest favorites for the title.
Yeah but.. If they dont sign a CB they'll have good firepower in the attack but will still be poor at the back which wont help their case in PL, not to mention CL.If/when they get De Bruyne then they'll be close.

True... But no African cup of nations this winterIt's a long season.
I dont think he gets lazy cause of African cup. He's just that kind of a player.True... But no African cup of nations this winter

With their attack, they'll always be close.Its just the 1st game but I see them as the biggest favorites for the title.
It is kinda like how fergie kept spending big bucks on strikers.Why would they spend a fortune on KDB? Attacking midfield is one area where they don't need an improvement.

Agreed with all of that. They play more like the 'incincibles' Arsenal side than anyone else in the last decade. Brilliant team, and by far the best attack in the league.Said it before that one of their most important strengths is they don't complicate the game. They don't play to keep the ball away from the opponents. They have majority ball possession because they are superior players. They'll go forwards and look for the opening. If it doesn't come they'll keep probing in the opponents half and when a half chance comes they won't hesitate attempting to make it. A lot of their goals are from basic cut backs from the byline. Simple but damn irritatingly effective.
