In Stephen Mfuni, you’re looking at one of, if not the best defensive talent/(s) this country has to offer.
LB/LCB, astute technically (numbers below), ridiculous athlete, dominant in both boxes, powerful in the channels and takes responsibility from a mental standpoint.
Baleba can play CB, DM, CM and AM to a ridiculous level (even played out wide in his football upbringing ).
If we’re to sign any premium midfielder, it has to be him.
A guy who dribbles like a LW/RW, passes like a CM and defends like a DM… possessing top 1% athleticism with the ability to play off of both feet.
Demon
If Livramento isn’t attainable City should just leave RB alone, the markets too weak and it isn’t worth forcing a deal.
Just play one of our CB’s there who can defend channels + give AIt Nouri license to multiple roles from LB when in-possession, patience > force.
👍top of my list alongside Leão.
Two-footed killer in front of goal, strong ball to feet game + can stretch defences, incredible presence off the ball and can cover both wings + CF.
Rodri to Sky: "Some of the mistakes we are doing are kids mistakes, you are not concentrating and paying attention. The reality is that we have to raise the level if we want to compete."
The greatest keeper to pull on a city shirt. Whatever you feel about him, this man changed our whole identity and was the catalyst in our dominance over the last 10 years. Deserves all the respect in the world. He will be missed massively 👏🏻

Transformed the perception of his position in English football, integral to Manchester City’s all-conquering style. One of a kind. Irreplaceable.
Thank you, EM31! 🩵
Started off so well… just dropped off a cliff. Another consecutive window I don’t think we’ve been anywhere near maximising since we won the treble, 3 seasons ago.
The root of our downfall is recruitment.
