Need to decide whether to TC Salah or go for Moyes with the assistant manager chip

How does it work with the new players registering for the CL if we sign more than 3? Surely Marmoush + CM are defo on the list. Does that mean that 1 of the CB’s gets loaned out? Or does 1 not get added to the CL list but plays more PL games. If we sign a 2nd CM do both CB’s not get added?

With how little game time he’s had tho with the injury crisis I can’t blame him for really pushing to leave. His contract is up in 2026 too so if it gets to the summer I can see him going

I feel like Zubimendi is becoming more and more likely by the day, the next question becomes who next! Like you I would love another player but just can’t see city doing it whether it’s an attacker or another midfielder

Yep, just finished listening to the Market pod - I really don’t see anyway in which Pep agrees to the rebuild this summer and stays on. I think if Viana/ Tixi say they’re bringing in 5/6/7 new players then Pep says ok but I’m going this summer then

Less confident than a month ago but I still think he’ll extend for 1 year. Got a bad feeling that if he extends for 1 more year then we’ll just go again with the same group which I think is a very bad idea

Feels to me like we need to go big and get the guaranteed big star, so has to be Musiala or Wirtz. I think replacing KDB will be such a big task and going for one of them feels like the most sure bet

Yeah fair point, a top 6 club is defo gonna drop a lot on him soon. Pity Wharton has had his injuries problems otherwise he’d be an ideal signing in Jan

Thoughts on Baleba? Thought he was v impressive on Saturday. Feels similar to what you said about Wharton last year in the sense that you could go and pay 50 mil for him now but he’ll cost 80 mil + in the summer.
