With Trafford’s arrival. This is the current state of City’s potential 2025/26 squad.

If no new “foreign” players arrive (e.g. a RB), then AT LEAST 2 more need to leave. Assuming Ortega & Echeverri go.

A few Q marks remain over some of the HG players (e.g. Stones, Aké) #MCFC.

Absolutely mad stat after tonight.

City have now won as many PL games this season (18) as Arsenal. Cannae believe that, given how bad we’ve been. Only 6pts behind!

This is the key quote from KDB’s interview. That the club have made a “business” decision.

I don’t love how how this has been handled, tbh. A club legend. But Kev is a straight talker and was always gonna speak.

But bottom line: there’s no justification for keeping him on (close to) his current ££

So long as we don’t lose to Villa on Tuesday. We *should* be fine for T5…

Wharton should be City’s #1 signing this summer when it comes to HG players, imo. He’s the all-round midfielder we really need.

Appreciate it’s a bit weird cheering on another PL team… but c’mon you Palace 😂

Probably the strongest XI available (maybe Chilwell > Mitchell). Buzzing that Mateta is back. Should be a great game. Fulham will be SO up for it too.

A predictable result tbh.

(I went 2-2 on the @9320pod.bsky.social preview).

But a cracker of a day. Spent in City’s Tunnel Club with one of my best mates. So grateful to have the opportunity to do that. City aren’t getting everything right atm, but that was 🔝.

Definition of “on the ropes” actually!

JP Mateta is cracking player.

(Cannae wait to watch MOTD #Marmoush)

Celebrating tonight 🥳

(being linked to a central midfielder)

Enjoyed being back at the Etihad yday. Thought City played v well. Particularly 20mins onwards.

Loved Marmoush’s debut. Great movement.

Nice to be sitting on a train back from Manchester with 3 points in the bag. A rare treat this season.

Some longer thoughts on Walker’s exit.

Too lengthy for one tweet.

Someone needs to do an edit of Carragher saying “leave the football, before the football leaves you”.

But as a Kyle Walker edit.

My mid-point review of City’s 2024/25 season for @guardian_sport.

Definitely the first time I’ve properly put the boot in during Guardiola’s tenure. But I think it’s fair enough. Desperately need a win (and 3 points!) vs. Leicester today. Otherwise… 😬🔪

RTs appreciated #MCFC.

😅

A reminder for City fans (in light of the 4 January signings rumours). UEFA only allow you to register a maximum of 3 “new” players in Jan.

(Appreciate City could fail to qualify ultimately, but it’ll definitely be a factor Txiki and Viana are considering for Jan buys).

We don’t, but it has to be nearing an end now. This is Week 10. And the reports in September were “it could last up to 10 weeks”.

V interested to see Carsley’s starting XI tomo for a must-win game in Greece.

England squad looking v thin / short of caps. Something like this?

Pickford
Walker Konsa Guehi Lewis
Gallagher Gomes Bellingham
Madueke Kane Gordon
