Wirtz isn’t the be all and end all but I do think they needed someone of that calibre to “kickstart” the rebuild.

The drop in quality is fairly big in Wirtz’ position after you we’ve missed out.

Maybe they pivot to another position now.

Think they just roll with MGW

I feel like Hugo Viana is either going to pull a generational masterclass or turn us into Chelsea.

Can’t see it personally mate - Bayern written all over him

I think you are right but we should be beating Saints fairly comfortably. I’d start him.

What I’ve found strange is that Nico isn’t even coming on in the 80th minute - the likes of Rico and James are coming on before him.

Do you think Nico G starts against Southampton?

Not surprised really.

City will be in for Adam Wharton at some point. He’s the most City coded midfielder I’ve seen in the league.

I can’t actually remember the online City fanbase being this hostile to a transfer as they are with MGW.

People really don’t want him.

Gibbs White is excellent. I have to be honest though before the links I wouldn’t have given him a second thought - there are just so many other midfielders I like.

I agree - just wonder if City think it’s cheaper to absorb it for another season, if they can’t get rid.

If you are letting go of Walker, Grealish and McAtee too. You aren’t getting PL players on the cheap - especially if you are Manchester City. Not ideal

Can see Ake and Stones staying next season - mainly because of how tight we are on association rules.

Buying association players is really expensive as we’re about to see with MGW.

I feel like Hugo Viana is either going to pull a generational masterclass or turn us into Chelsea.

The ft is full of the same shit whenever an elite side plays.

I’m a massive Baleba fanboy. He is unbelievable.

I’d love him at City.

That’s coming from someone who is usually highly sceptical about Brighton players and the prices quoted.

Really intrigued to see where he goes next. Dealing with Bloom and Barber will be the tough part for any buyer.

How has Begiristain missed out on all this talent on show?!

I thought Viana looked throughly pissed off in stands.

Massive job for him, I’m not surprised Txiki is staying till the end of the window. The job is huge.

Yes mate - spot on

Kevin De Bruyne is the greatest midfielder in premier league history. By a distance. City’s greatest ever player. We were privileged to witness his era. Not sure we’ll ever see someone with that talent again.

Thought Baleba was immense today

I’m really intrigued to see who if anyone pays up for him in the summer

Madrid press reporting Camavinga is being benched tonight.

Is there something in these links?

Some big hitters also have a year left on there deals so have leverage. If I’m Stones, why would I move for less money this summer when I could run my deal and maximise my earnings on a free at my next club? Same goes for all the high earners we might want to shift with deals expiring 2026.

Enrique coupled with absolutely phenomenal recruitment. The team is so young and performs like on the biggest stage under the brightest lights. The talent is scary

I’d love for this to be true - it smells of an agent brief.

Camavinga is utterly elite.

Completely agree - we got far too comfortable.

Kovacic was another absolutely disastrous signing too btw. He’s firmly in the Nunes/Philips category for me.

Honestly the less I watch of this team over the next couple months, the better.

Disastrous subs from Guardiola. The squad just isn’t good enough either.

I don’t really want to see Brand Bellingham sitting in the stands at the Etihad week in week out 😂 I’d avoid at all costs personally

This Rodri remontada will be insane 😍
