I don't really get why you're so excited for this guy either. Hasn't really done anything and if Villa are happy for him to leave then how good can he be?

He's stuck behind Watkins, he isn't going to surpass him
He seems to be very raw but got a good finish on him
It's an area we lack in up top itself
Having those 2 options allows Bowen to go back right which is his best position, kudus can go central, Summervile left and then paquata drops deeping into midfield until his ban
Just having that option up top opens more from the rest. When Antonio was fit last year we saw the same just allowing Bowen to be played in his best position

You're so excited for this season aren't you
Nice to see someone have a bit of confidence in their team. I quite liked Lopetagui at ours and it's a shame it ended the way it did.

It is the start of August. I think most of us have been deprived of club football for such a long time, and are extremely excited and hopeful for the new season. Chance to wipe the slate clean.
Then, once the season kicks off, 50% of us will be depressed again after the first game, and after the first few weeks most of us will be depressed, and venting our fury at underperforming players, referees, VAR, pundits and opposition players / managers.

Very excited lol football season starting is always exciting
I enjoyed watching kudos and Bowen last year along with paquata, I didn't agree with the treatment Moyes got but could understand with a more attacking manager it would be a better watch. J-lo looks set to implement this
First signing was a young Brazilian for 20 million. Very much a future signing but with the players brought in since the pressure is off him for me
Killman what a signing. Proven premier league , goes straight into the team .. we do however need a right back and possible a cb to go with him
Summerville caught me off guard, didn't think we would get him especially for that price. Seems to be the left wing version of Bowen .. so again happy with that
We all thought paquata would be at city but he's been given the all clear to play until his hearing which wont be this season by looks so that's a bonus player
We have actually bought a striker , possible of another coming. Again positive
The midfield though, argie world cup winning defensive midfielder on a free? Just another bit of depth
We don't have any Europa to worry about this season so I can see us doing well due to bigger squad for less games.

I suspect we will see the standard West Ham reaction half way through October/November - the head of the manager will be called for when they are not playing the “West Ham” despite some grinding results

Must admit, my feeling is more that we've finally had a decent little break from football which has been lovely, and I'm not too excited at the prospect of the grind starting again.

Guido Rodriguez officially signs for free on a 2 year deal
RB to complete the window and another CB would make it perfect

Have you watched much of Kilman? Genuinely interested because I've watched every game and I'm still not sure on him. But i did say the same about Jota so what do I know.

I've seen him in bits but it's another one that it's an improvement on what we have. Without a shadow of a doubt our best CB of the past 3 seasons was Dawson, he never got replaced
Now zouma when he signed was decent however his knees are gone from kicking too many cats. It's like watching someone play walking football in a normal game
We need someone who's dependable and available. A good age. Leader in the dressing room. Home grown helps aswell
With Tim in charge of transfers it does seem to be here is a selection of players we can offer , pick your options . J-lo worked with him before and there we go
It's also nice to see business done quickly , Moyes got all his benefits liked to vet players and took forever to decide to sign him. He turned down fullkrug last season and he said he regretted it, for the price we could have got for it's just a risk to take? Now we pay more to get him year later
So it's refreshing to see early business

Personally I think there is so much more to come from Alvarez. He is an energetic player and Athletico are building a good team.
From City’s point of view. Fantastic business and profit on a player.
Wish him all the best.

City always sell at the right time and for good money.
Any idea who will come in to replace him?

I did see someone today that made me think he might be off because of where he was...

To be honest I have not heard of anyone. There was strong rumours re Olmo coming but I believe he is off to Barca. Could be a big year for Bobb who has come through the Academy.

Strong rumours zouma off to Saudi league on a cheap deal
Putting aside his cat kicking I think it's a good deal for everyone. Especially him. His knees are shot but playing at that lower intensity level will mean he can play for a little longer before retiring.
Gets his wages off our books
Everyone wins
