Here's a question for you are any of you just a little bit worried about the way our noisy neighbours have gone about their business this summer. No big fanfares or silly statements just quietly buying some quality players to add to their squad and bringing in a real quality manager who loves to play attractive football. They have gone very much under the radar this summer and it worries me. Please let's here no nonsence about Cardiff. Start of the season and no captain or centre half of the quality of Kompany. If he plays they don't concede two headed goals.

What has happened to the stupid brash loud Citeh. These are worrying times

They learnt that when you normally go public with predictions about winning everything in sight it came back to make them look silly.they suffered last season when kompany was out they look lost on set pieces without him

I agree to an extent, I think if they keep the group together for a few seasons they can really build something really special. But I'm hoping they take a little time to gel this season. They should definitely be there or thereabouts in any case but hoping they slip up a few times as they learn to play together.

It's a fair point on Kompany and I've heard it said before - but at the end of the day football is a squad game and you have to deal with injuries. How long did we have Vidic out yet managed to win the league last season and lose only on goal difference the season before. This is where our strength is, in the squad, when key players go missing you need reliable squad players to come in. Ours may not be 'flashy' but they are 'competent' because we rotate and give them chances. I can't remember the last time Garcia played for City, let alone at CB, so I'm not surprised they had issues on Sunday v Cardiff.

I think that says it all.

If they were as strong as some suggests they are, they would be able to weather loosing a key player or two, like we have in seasons past.

Even without their captain, they shouldn't be conceding three goals at Cardiff, with the quality they have.

'A real quality manager'.

Sorry, what has Pellegrini ever won?

You always go on about the fact that Moyes has never won anything, to bolster your argument against hiring him.

What Pellegrini did with Villareal was the equivalent of Moyes with Everton breaking into the top 4.

He won feck all with one of the best teams in the world, and was sacked after one season, and he did ok with Malaga, who had millions pumped into the club.

Still not a winner though, unless he won some obscure cup in Chile that I can't be bothered checking up on.

So, what's the difference between him and Moyes then?

Oh yes, he's foreign, so he must be better, and he wouldn't just be a Glazer-puppet, would he?

Simpleton.
