Walker and Mendy as FBs
With their attack, this is football manager stuff guys.

David Silva and De Bruyne play as central mids under Pep, Bernardo is a wide player who can play as a 10. Just because both players share the same surname doesn't mean he can control the game and run the show like David Silva. He's being signed as a wide option, probably displaces Sterling on right.
Fecking hell, Mendy & B. Silva.
City aren't messing about.
Not overly concerned. Mendy won't solve their defensive issues. They're already stacked with attacking options, that's not their Achilles heel.
They will outscore everyone
Exactly, peope are having a meltdown like we lost out on one of the players that was on Jose's wish list.
I trust Jose when it comes to building teams that will suit him, so if he doesn't want Silva or another player then I'm fine with that. It's going to be a long Summer and I can't wait to see the team that both Pep and Jose will assemble when the window shuts.
Fullbacks were definitely their Achilles heel, they're integral to Pep's style of play and they weren't up to par this year. Big boost for them imo.
Mendy and Silva will be two great acquisitions. Two of the best players on the market in their respective tactics.
Problem is that Mendy is great going forward but he's average at the back. Hence why it won't really improve them defensively.
Less chance for youth prospects from super mega ultra city football academy to emerge.
Would be absolutely gutted to see Bernardo Silva at City. He is a younger verison of Mata and Mkhi rolled into one with higher ceiling than both of them.
Mendy and Silva. FFS. City making some great signings. Both players who are amongst the best talents in their positions.
I don't think he needs particularly good defensive fullbacks when his style is properly implemented.
That could well be true. But he's so good going forward he may help them dominate and use the ball more, so the defensive side may not be as big a deal as it has seemed with poorer full backs this season. Obviously different situations, but I don't know that he's enormously worse defensively than players like Dani Alves or Alba.
Pep can get fecked. This is the second boner he's killed since Thiago 
Mendy, Walker and Bonucci the three defensive targets. That would certainly represent a substantial improvement.
Bernardo Silva signs for Manchester City. €70m, 5 year deal
Pepe and James Rodriguez to Inter according to Sportitalia (reliable)

Well they need 3 fullbacks so they better get started. I wonder if our interest in fullbacks has cooled as Darmian's performances have improved?
So City are apparently signing Mendy, Walker, Fabinho, and Silva. Somehow, I cant see Monaco selling three of their star players to one club.
Thats something i expected, James not a United target was clear as day. Him and Pepe could only move to Italy or PSG.
What difference does it make if they're sold to one club or three different clubs? If Monaco get the money they want I don't see why they would care.
If they get enough money for them, why not?
Scenes when City field Silva and Mendy and we field Ashley Young and Darmian, come the start of next season.
lol
Good signings for them.
I'll re-phrase, then - I don't see Monaco selling Mendy, Fabinho and Silva, with people also chasing Mbappe, Bakayoko, Germain and Sidibe, all in one window. It wouldn't make any sense for them to just sell everyone that people were interested in. I think it's generally accepted that Fabinho, Silva and Bakayoko at the very least are all leaving the club. There's no reason to disassemble a title-winning team when they are all as young as they are. Money sure is lovely, but i'm sure Monaco will manage their outgoings rather than just have a fire sale.
Typical CAF, the moment the opposition swoops in for any player that will definitely improve us, we conclude that they are average and not good enough.

Can't believe City is doing all this and we haven't done jack shit.
You mustn't have been here two summers ago, City were destined to conquer the world after signing Otamendi.Typical CAF, the moment the opposition swoops in for any player that will definitely improve us, we conclude that they are average and not good enough.

Do you know this?
It's the end of May for god sake! Transfer window is actually still open .
Jesus Christ, have some patience
