I want to be positive & I want to be optimistic, but what concerns me is that: - Our recruitment team considered our midfield options to be amongst the best in the league last season. - Thought the striker trio of Austin / Long / Rodriguez would be sufficient.

If this happens, along with VvD, we are going to have an awful lot of money to spend & not very long to spend it.

Crikey. I'd take that. LOL @ Pre-summer people on here saying snap him up for £20m

@ManCity: Please welcome @benmendy23 to Manchester City! #BlueMendy

Right wing is currently the graveyard shift. Gallagher played their 2nd half as well. There's been a gap in the market for a "Mane" esque wide forward for quite some time. Shane's best role is probably leading from the front as a pressing striker as part of a partnership.

Leipzig have got some balls to turn down £70m when he can go for £48m next season.

MLG is right here. Anyone questioning VvD's current price on his head is mad. - Kyle Walker just went for £55m! - Stones went for £50m & that was a season ago!

banter ˈbantə/ noun 1. the playful and friendly exchange of teasing remarks. "there was much good-natured banter"

Probably needs one for the job he has! Didn't he **** off Lallana during the Liverpool move because he wouldn't answer his phone?

A common theme tends to be true is that players that want to leave tend to hate Les Reed, but then I suppose he's the main figure that they can hate. His job isn't to be their friend. It's to get the best deal possible for us when they spit their dummy out.

Already has the kit on, by the looks.

What about if Liverpool were to stump up £70m? So that pretty much leaves Chelsea / City / Arsenal as possible destinations... - Interestingly City still haven't signed a centre-back yet, but put off by VVD's asking price. (Which is hilarious when you look at their dealings this summer). - Chelsea you would have thought would be keen, but have signed Rudiger. - Arsenal probably looking to sign their usual diminutive playmaker & not a player they actually need.

Mitchell probably selected Koeman as well. Yeah, aside from the random phone call on SSN, this is basically the 1st official comment we've made on transfers this summer, I believe.

@ManCity: Our fifth summer signing! Let's all #welcomedanilo to the Club

What have you been told?

Oh no. Our young players seem to pick up a lot of knee injuries.

He hit the ground running today & looked excellent. Couple of lovely forward passes, plus looked cool & calm in possession. Puel deserves credit for blooding him last season.

& sometimes we just buy Taider / Juanmi / Gardos.

Any info on where he was today? I assumed he's injured.
