Some people need to learn that it isn't easy to replace quality. With Vik and Gus quite a few were saying sell them for 15 or 20m and get 3 or 4 players in instead to cover the loss. That isn't working out too well is it? Let's keep quality in the squad if we can.

We are a fairly predictable team. I’d use it just to disrupt and shake things up. And if you make it a showpiece the fans will be totally up for it. Getting the fans woken up and chanting is a good plus.

I don’t see any evidence he likes to switch up wingbacks after his recent signings. Sakamoto has been cover for Palmer. That opportunity is going.

So what’s your scenarios when we’ll see him?

He’d help get the fans going as well. Clearly all the markings of a fan’s favourite and someone who’d you want to go up to a game to watch.

I agree he’s more of a winger. He should be tried there in an overwhelming attacking role and see how much he messes up a defence and gives the likes of Simms chances in the box.

So do you still really think ‘we’ll see a lot of him’? Ayari will push him down the order and COH will push him way down. A shame because Saka is capable of beating a player and disrupting defences. I get the feeling MR has made up his mind. And he’s a stubborn bloke.

Are the ‘you’ll moan at anything’ brigade happy with charging away fans kids £25?

The children pricing, certainly for away fans, is a mistake. But I doubt anything can be changed until next season. I pay for my daughter and her bloke to go. I personally won’t stretch that to £37 a pop.

Full of shit and increasingly unpleasant. Twat.

So much focus on our strikers and midfield but actually our defence has been the biggest concern. I'd settle for a clean sheet and a much more composed defensive performance. Ok I'd take a Wright and Simms couple of goals as well....

Have training facilities actually improved yet? I know a pitch is in prep, is it finished? Doug spent virtually no money until he knew Vik was off. He's been pretty lucky to start off with £35m of transfers in his pot. And even luckier MR and that pre-Doug squad delivered so well last season...

We needed some quality and skill added to the midfield mix. Optimistic this guy is perfect for that and he will lift everyones game a bit. Looking forward to his link up with COH, saka, Palmer, Wright ...

Another small fella but not afraid to get his foot in by the looks...

Looks promising. More pressure on Palmer to realise his potential. I assume loan deals don't come with any 'must be played' type clause?

Somethin's gone mad in the world when we are trying to charge kids of working class parents £25 a ticket so we can pay players £20,000 a week to reach the promised land of paying players £50,000 a week with even higher ticket prices.

He will be on the bench now for a while probably. He needs to make a real impact when he comes on. Not ideal for him but it gives him some time to get fit and up to speed and confidence building goal opportunities against tiring defences. Ps. You know anyone using 'woke' is a grade A moron...

I guess we missed Palmer's creativity today. Maybe just playing him half and half with sakamoto is the best we can get out of him when he comes back in.

Happy with that team sheet. MR maybe taking a bit more risk, really hope it pays off. Big chance for Saka in particular. We do seem to have a lot of injuries and our players aren't the fittest, that needs looking at.

They'll be understandable interest in Gus for a few games then it'll get boring. It's just natural, I mean this is a 200+ page thread about him... You've got to be an absolute moron to question anyone's support for City because of it.
