Now that the dust have settled, let's get to more important things like who the club should recruit in the transfer window.



I think we need at least a striker, 2 wingers or attacking midfielders, and a centreback.



Higuain
Payet
Mahrez
And a centreback



In other news, be like citeh go soon announce the signing of Gundogan

Gundogan has not been the same since he had a serious injury last season! I Wish him no form @ city though!




We need 2 central midfielders (mata seems gone)! 2 strikers( rooney is done in attack)
A winger! 2 central defenders ( jones and rojo seem done) and a right back as competition for dramian ( valencia is not 1)





Strikers: zlatan and lewandowski or abaumeyang ( all man should hustle to start with martial by scoring goals)




Winger; only griezman would suffice or mane or wijnaldum as cheap options! Mahrez wants champs league soccer! No hope!




Central midfield! Marco veratti, Kroos or modric! Koke or saul nunez from atm! N'kante go hard and Pogba will never happen!




Defence: varane or john stones, or diego godin from atm ( expy) or bindy or sumtin like that (giant dutch black guy
from porto)




Right back: van der weil from psg is available for free! Danilo from real madrid ( he's tired of the bench) Or they should prevent dani alves from joining juve!

Bros... no be football manager nau...lol

codedguy1:


I suspect I was the first person to have an argument with Kagawa10 about how much LvG spent whether it was 250 or not. I have read every dot on this board but decided to stay off.

The truth is the guy annoyingly assumes alot and to ASSUME is to make an ASS of U and ME. He has done it severally and its really annoying to some peeps on here.

He assumed that new2020 is the same as joace2020 because there is 2020 in both monikers.
He assumed that my moniker is the same as coded01, even when I called him out he went rogue until he realised his folly and apologised. He kept on seeing Rooney on the pitch after being subbed, There are other instances and peeps on here are kinda fed up. I hope he comes good though.


Now if you also believe he has not made any valid points and still insists on arguing with his invalid points it becomes really annoying and some people really don't want to suffer ffools.

Oga you go pay money oh...

No just dey call out that name anyhow...

Bros... no be football manager nau...lol

Lol! My bizness dey allow me watch matches tire! I made my foreign selections from all the champions and europa league games I watched last season in addition to premier league games as well as based on a lot of transfer rumors!




If we have to sign we have to go for only quality abeg! Our squad is too average for now! We have our youth angle covered already!

Elxandre:

What he thinks of himself is his business bro.

I'm only concerned about what his fans think about him.
I still read an article not more than a week ago claiming he is the best tactician alive.

I like Pep, but I hate the fact that Jose's achievements are undermined by haters who think he's done nothing asides Spending his way to victory.

This guy won the La Liga against the best team in decades after just a year.
Won the UCL for Porto about two decades of drought.
Won the UCL for Inter after over two decades of drought and near irrelevance in Europe.

Pep is just getting his biggest test, and I'm interested in his progress.
---------------
No!
I wouldn't be happier with a coach that made Bayern lose 5-0 to Madrid a year after they walloped Barca 7-0.

all of a sudden,u just started liking mou because he's your new coach

@BossKratos.
Danilo is nt better dan Valencia. For me we need a RW like Saido Mane, an experienced CF, 2CM nd a CB...

How is your logic different from we Jose fans,that think he is a god among other managers ?
You can deafen your ears to the noise,and judge each according to his merits and accomplishment.
Do not take this as a slight,
You don't like pep for those loss ? but Jose last season performance is fine with you.
I mean if we chart his UCL performance it all been down hill since the semi with ATM.
pep at least was consistent and only loses in the semis and to eventual champion bar this season.
(the possibility that nobody go win UCL back-back is never going away)
Concerning Jose universal appeal to Utd,their is a vocal minority that won't have existed if pep chose us.
cantona definitely won't say anything.
I'll like to see your reply but I won't be saying anymore,i just won't be comfortable saying nothing since I may have caused this stuff.

DANILO IS NT BETTER THAN VALENCIA. For me we need a RW like Saido Mane, an experienced CF, 2CM nd a CB...

The bolded is the only part of your post wey make me pour hot coffee for my body dis morning!




What exactly does "valencia" do abeg? Beat a man he can't? His crosses always hit the 1st opposition player in front of him! He does not offer anything from set pieces! Defensively he is all over the place( remember us vs arsenal in the fa cup 2 seasons ago?)




Valencia was originally a winger but his uninspiring performances as well as his muscle man rep is what has caused him to be reverted to right back!





Danilo is 24 (Potential baba), Was a mainstay in a multiple title winning side (@ porto), his attacking forays are superb, he crosses well, he defends better than valencia @ least and has time to improve @ united, he is slowly growing into a mini boss for his national teams side and would be available at a knock down price from real!





Anyway check the other right backs I listed and I already addressed manes issue! DANILO WOULD MAKE EXCELLENT COVER FOR DRAMIAN! Let them both hustle to be number 1 for united! Valencia no be am.........

Abeg, Danilo is currently poor in defence. Let's see his 2nd season in Laliga.

Boss, both can't defend, both can't beat a stick in front of them, both can't put in some dissent cross(just 1 or 2/game).
Remember the Wolfsburg game? He didn't even play in d return leg @d santiago... Danilo is another on d brazillian hype train.
There are better RB to bring in like Aurier nd d one u mentioned. Danilo don't just cut it for me. Varela should be a better back up...

Meanwhile, which Tier1 striker u for like make we sign.
#goodmorning.

Yea, true dat nd whoever Everton should employ already has a good squad to work wit. Just some tweaks here nd there especially in their defence den we av Bilic nd Koeman wit Walter Mazzari.... dammn

raumdeuter:


The question is Why do you see it from the same perspective? Is there any thought process involved?

Multiple road leads to a destination but the route is what makes you different not just a follow-follow or ekwe-sample as my man elamps call them

If Ronaldo is adjudged to be one of the best players ever & peeps use his attributes, stats, awards & trophies won to buttress the point (expectedly ofcourse)....only for someone to start talking about his looks, swag & fashion sense all in the name of "seeing it from another perspective", would it make any sense?

Danillo wouldn't exactly be an upgrade on Valencia & Darmian - i'd even pick the hard-working & "tactically obedient" Ecuadorian over him.

Despite Valencia's technical deficiencies, I think he provided some solidity to the defence towards the end of the season. he also contributed positively at the other end of the pitch.

From an attacking POV, i have actually given up on Darmian - I don't see any potential for him to improve in that regard. On the other hand, he could become our own Azpilicueta....the conservative, effecient & defensively sound full-back who could play on either flank. He has to improve though.

Mourihno definitely has a decision to make in that department.

I will pick Val who's not a defender over Danilo over and over. The same Danilo that Carrasco Was banging right, front and center in the UCL?? The same Danilo many Madrid supporters and those around where i watched the UCL final were making jest of??

Danilo is just a waste of money and bench warmer..

We have Val who is very strong and pacy and can track back very easy evn though we know his crossings are poor.

Even before his injury, Val was a decent makeshift RB for us.. He came back from injury and still impressed..

martineverest:
all of a sudden,u just started liking mou because he's your new coach

Lol..

I've always liked Mou!
I even enjoy his antics cause they make football interesting, eg calling Wenger specialist in failure.

I like Pep too, but these guys make it seem he transformed Bayern into something more precious than a Unicorn. even though he actually failed since didn't make a final, especially as any decent coach would win the League with Bayern right now.

I mean even LVG made the UCL final and also won the league with Bayern, so what the hell?

Pep hasn't ever had to work with a squad many United fans call mediocre, yet they want him.

Well let's forget it Sha.

it was actually a fluke! a fluke in d sense dat if the perennial champions (mancity manure and Chelsea) weren't having a torrid season, who born Leicester well? and just so u know, Leicester will not make top six next season....

Official: Man city sign Ilkay Gundogan





http://m.goal.com/x/en/news/11/transfer-zone/2016/06/02/24189692/official-manchester-city-sign-ilkay-gundogan

"I’m thrilled to have signed for Manchester City,” he told City's official website. "When I learned of City’s interest my heart was set on coming here and things have moved very quickly.
"I have loved my time with Borussia Dortmund and I would like to thank the club and the supporters for the five very happy years I spent there.
"They gave me a platform to play on and I became a better player because of the belief, patience and trust they showed in me.
"Now I have a new challenge and that is to achieve great things with City. The opportunity to work with a coach like Pep Guardiola is something I am really looking forward to and I am flattered to be the first signing the Club has made this summer.
"I can promise the City fans I will give everything to help us win titles both in England and the Champions League. These are exciting times.
"I have my best years ahead of me and I think we can achieve great things together. I can’t wait to begin this new chapter in my career.”

I just watch d replay of Austria vs Malta friendly match....oboi....alaba own goal should be voted for 'own goal of the decade'

So City have confirmed the signing of Owen Hargreaves,sorry, i mean Gundogan


Good player. Hopefully doesnt make a massive impact. I actually really liked Hargreaves when he played for us. He was mostly excellent. Shame about the injuries.

Nihilist:

To be honest, I don't.

Too many cowards are using the opportunity to take cheap shots at the guy.

I can understand if you are contesting a point, and use killer jabs to knock your wisdom into your opponents head.

Then you have the likes of joeace who never actually make any point of note, but tend to quickly rush in to sneakily bash whoever is getting bashed.

Just go through the entire thing. Dahdemola has been arguing about LVG with Kagawa. Sinizia was arguing about who signed Herrera. Funlord posted links to a missing article. GBR and Tess have also argued points.

The only guy that is just yabbing with no contribution is joeace

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Chai, you no get joy at all.

As for the striking department we need guys that would come in and put martial under pressure immediately! He should not get too comfortable and rashford is still physically developing so we don't know if he can perform consistently yet in a 45 or 50 game season!



We should go for "absolute quality!" So these are my picks!





1: Lewandowski( champions league football fit dull us and real madrid don dey talk to am already! Bayern own don finish be dat)





2: Zlatan: need I say more? Aerial presence! Strong! Excellent technique! Set pieces! Target man that flips into a supporting striker at will! Available on a free? Loves jose and guarantees titles! A MUST BUY!





3: Aubameyang: I like the look of him, but that african nations cup thing fit cost us one day during a title chase!






4: Cavani: supreme target man! Unhappy at the wing at psg and always scores goals wherever he goes! Zlatan leaving may force him to stay but worth a shot!



IMPOSSIBLE BUT WORTH A SHOT:


5: Suarez!

diggz:


Bro, I hope you ain't seriously wishing danilo on your team? That guy looks a complete fraud to me judging from last season, and definitely won't be any improvement.

He has potential and I said we need cover in our right back slot! Danilo and dramian can hustlle to be number 1! I know his season of benchry and unhappiness at real is making you doubt him now, but dude this guy did stuff at porto that made clubs dash for him! You don't turn into a fraud overnight na!



Anyway I also listed some other right backs! Let's see who jose gets in last last!

What do Manchester United fans thing of man city signing gundogan?
Considering they haven't signed anyone yet?
