Guardiola delivers City team news update ahead of Community Shield

dammit, *Rojo not Jones.

I’m Chris smalling

Rojo needs to go for sure but Bailly is just stealing a living from his permanent room at the local hospital.

Should be selling Jones before Smalling imo. What about Darmian?

4 years too late

Agree, so much money for an english centerback.
Koulibaly is worth £60m and is far better than Maguire.

AWB over Shaw for those juicy baps

Surely AWB is the best United def option by a mile

AWB would be a better shout for those bonus points

De Gea?

You could prob change Bilva if you have sterling but other than that it's good

Jim is an injury doubt and Europa league may impact him
Maddison could be Perez/Tielemens and save 0.5m

Wan in the one!

thinking this makes Shaw a more attractive prospect

b

Bruno Fernandes

Pereira can whip a cross in (when he is on the pitch)

Hey, Ashley Young? 😉

Y? If you're going to start Rico week in week out it's a transfer waiting to happen. He is a bench fodder.

It's as good as fixture as any to start him.

Wood GW1 Wesley GW2-5 Wood GW6 onwards

Wood - Wait and see on Villa and Wesley.

Wood

Wes

Start with Wood. Proven PL forward and you can always downgrade later.

Wood

Nothing beats a nice Wood in the morning

Very solid mate. If B Silva plays an expected attacking role on Sunday and has higher goal involvement, would you consider the switch? You could then make Taylor > Digne. Or other 6m options?

Not Richarlison

A

B

I think he nicks a few goals from set pieces, I dont think their clean sheet potential is great, although they have to improve on last year's 7!

Because he's not Jones or smalling. Hence Lindelof doesn't have to mark 2 or 3 players now

I've seen the deluded stating that AWB is a better prospect with Maguire in the team. Poor souls.

He’s a top defender, United aren’t paying nearly £100m for him for a laugh

I think it's a class back 4. What Maguire lacks in pace, he makes up for in strength. I'd be over the moon if I was a Utd fan

lol

You answered your own question me thinks. Sane still around not guaranteed in the front three.

Plus most going with Sterling (and KDB)

Because there's a sense he's a points dodger, maybe unfair but it's there.

I personally this he will score very well this season. He became one of the main players City looked to last season to turn the games around and many times he did. I expect him to surpass last season's goal involvement yet again

Great price.

why?

I think stones has to play alot more this season, right? Unless they will sign a big CB right at the end of the window, dunno if itll happen now that Maguire has made his mind up though

United but Digne probably outscores all defenders from both teams.

Burnley > Utd > Everton

23% of his total points last season in his first match seems highly improbable.

Coleman for fixtures, think Chelsea and Wolves will both score vs Utd

A

Youri

a until we see how often b plays

Trained today and looked sharp let’s hope so. See line up for sunday

Not sure, but interesting to mix around the template

Kind of obvious

Let's see if he starts vs Barca on Sunday

if you need def on 5 so yes

I’d stay away from our defense until Kante and Rudiger are fully fit

I wish it was that easy my friend

As in previous seasons, Silva could be a really solid pick, but 34 this season... Foden emerging, Gundogan...

A I think

Yes.

no

Yes, I've criticised him but to be fair there wouldn't be to many better than him in the league either. Just over priced.

nah

Yes 100%.

VVD
Laport
Koscielny
Alderweireld
Luiz

all better

Top 5 and prob in the top 5 centre backs. Not many CBs anymore good at defending, mainly ball players first and can defend a bit. Big gap between Van Dijk, Alderweireld and the rest, defensively, for me. Proper centre backs.

For £80m I would expect world top 5.

Yes, absolutely.

Maguire and AWB were the two signings I wanted most at United this summer, and I'm very happy it looks to be a reality.

The AWB haters were silenced once he started playing, and the same will happen with Maguire.

Of course he can, but seems unlikely he will

yes

Can, yes. Will, no.

Only Salah and Sterlig can

No

He will outscore Kane cause i have him in my team

Doubt it.

Its not quite that simple, and ive been battling with this one for a while now.

Player for Player...maybe, but unlikely. However, I dont plan on Captaining Kane...so I don think he is worth the extra cash at the expense of a midfielder. I did an A/B earlier...

Kane/Jorginho or Wilson/Moura

My verdict & the resounding approval was for B. collectively those two players score more than Kane & Jorginho. If you dont have another captain choiuce, then definitely o with Kane....his ownership is massive

Will Schlupp stay first choice? I'm not sure.

Still uncertain about Zouma tbh.

people don't like non-nailed players on here so you won't get the go ahead from many (which is fair enough I suppose) - it could work really well but is obviously risky

I don't think either are nailed on...

A !
