One player could hold the keys to next season for Manchester City. One player could hold the keys for next season for Manchester City if he gets back to his best. City will be hoping that Phil Foden gets back to his best.

Phil Foden looms as one of Manchester City's most important players for next season. If he can return to his best after a disappointing 23/24 season he could be the player to unlock everything for Pep Guardiola's side.

I saw that quote last season and did feel that he'd adopt a variation of what those teams named into his tactics. Not a massive change but I'm expecting a layer of what was so effective against us last season to be implemented into our play. Lijnders' arrival may play a part in that also.

I don't think there's any chance of Grealish being a midfielder. We'd have seen in last season.

If he stays, which I don't think will happen, he'll be fighting for minutes like the others. Whether or not he can earn any is a different story

Might as well give it a go at this stage.

Definitely. I'm still expecting him to leave but it's hard to see where he goes right now.

The future of one Manchester City player isn't as cut and dry as it seems. The future of one Manchester City player isn't as cut and dry as it seems. A new report suggests that Jack Grealish is contemplating staying at City.

Jack Grealish is reportedly contemplating staying at Manchester City as per a recent report.

I'm still expecting Grealish to leave City, but if he stays he'll have a fight on his hands to find a role in Pep Guardiola's squad.

I do wonder if we'll play a back three with Ait-Nouri and Nunes as wing-backs at times. It does seem to be an option.

We did, thanks mate

If Claudio Echeverri leaves Manchester City on loan next season it isn't only Roma and Girona interested in securing his services. For me whatever club helps him become a key player for City is the best destination for him. If he leaves on loan.

Manchester City's improvement in the final third will come from within. Manchester City's improvement in the final third will come from within. If a host of players improve City will be devastating up front.

Looking at the Manchester City squad, the quality and potential are there, especially in the final third. If Bobb, Savinho and Doku take the next step, then anything is possible.

Cheers mate 👍that's what it's all about. The little moments make it all worth while.

I'm glad we had them. He'd have hated it otherwise. That noise goes straight through you I found.

I rarely post about anything outside of City, but working two jobs while letting my wife chase her dream leaves little time for moments away from it all.

But to have one with our son tonight at the Monster Trucks was a special one. A great night had by both of us.

Do we have a player who could do that would be my question. I think right-back may be a squad effort depending on the quality of our opponents.

Simon Bajkowski reports that Manchester City are hoping to get more out of Erling Haaland next season. That could manifest itself in several ways outside of goals and assists.

Probably won't it's just an idea I had as I could see Stones playing the position in a similar way to Rico Lewis. Just an idea I had.

Two defenders look set to stay at Manchester City for next season. Two defenders look set to stay at Manchester City but will they be prominent players next season? John Stones and Manuel Akanji look set to stay.

Manuel Akanji and John Stones, at this stage, look set to remain at Manchester City for next season. Looking at where they will get minutes isn't as straightforward as it seems but I could see either player stepping in at right-back if required.

Sorry just saw this question.

Everyone covered it perfectly. Newcastle don't want to sell, and Livramento isn't a spoilt brat like Isak and won't force a move.

What is the best path for the development of a Manchester City prodigy? What is the best path for the development of a Manchester City prodigy? Where Claudio Echeverri plays next season isn't immediately apparent.

Manchester City are reportedly deliberately over whether or not to send Claudio Echeverri out on loan for next season.

I can see merit in either scenario playing out but as long as Echeverri fulfils his potential there is no right or wrong move imo.

A season at Girona looms for the future of Manchester City's defence. A season at Girona looms for the future of Manchester City's defence. Vitor Reis looks set to spend the 25/26 season playing in La Liga.

Erling Haaland has spoken about that penalty moment in last season's FA Cup final against Crystal Palace.

Looking at how driven Haaland is as a player it wouldn't be a surprise to see that moment light a fire under Haaland for this season.

That's a given as at his best he's arguably the best right-back in Premier League history.

I do wonder if Stones will play the Rico role at times as well. Provided he can stay fit.

Well said 👍
