Yes, that's right, because all the players remain connected, so Haaland's departure will not cause Manchester City's performance to decline, they can find a replacement for Haaland to fill his position, after all, Haaland's arrival is indeed complementary and all the players complement each other, that's what I saw while they were playing so that they were united with each other. who could ultimately dominate the EPL in the next few seasons. Guardiola can always find the best players for Manchester City as long as there is sufficient financial support. Everything can be easy, but it won't work without financial support.

To be honest, I also see Haaland's performance now, every time he faces a strong team he is unable to overcome and be creative to get out of the opponent's back line so he often finds it difficult to break into the opponent's goal, but if he plays against a weak team, Haaland actually seems to find it easy to break into the opponent's goal. easily, it's just that he is still not able to play well when facing a strong team. Guardiola should be able to see that it seems that new players are also needed on the front lines, players who are more creative and productive so that they can easily score goals against opponents, especially this is important for the UCL matches in the coming season.

Yes, this is exactly Manchester City's main concern now. The accusations against them are really heavy just as you mentioned. I wonder what they are planning to pull away from a this big case. 

If they are found guilty of these breaches then they can really find themselves in the Championship all of a sudden. All that effort would be in vain because of violating the rules in this way. In that case I don't know how many good players would remain in the team either. Because the squad is full of star players and I don't know how many of them would like to play in the 2nd league. The case must be in November if I'm not mistaken.

I don't agree with you, have you forgotten that Manchester City already dominated the EPL before Haaland arrived. Haaland only completes or completes the puzzle in the Manchester City squad, in fact without his presence the team coached by Pep Guardiola would still be a strong team. Winning the Treble winner in his first season with Manchester City was just luck, he came to Manchester City when this team was at the peak of its performance.

Haaland departure will not reduce the burden on Manchester City, if Pep Guardiola does not really entrust the position of main striker to Alvarez, he will try to bring in other players who have better qualities. A team like Manchester City will have no difficulty getting the players they are targeting, the players will also feel honored if a club like Manchester City is interested in using their services.

That problem has been around for many years, and I honestly think that they are not going to get as much of a trouble as people think they are going to get. I get that some people might be afraid of the situation, but the reality is that we are probably going to see them do fine. They may get some punishment, hell they may even get like budget or cap type of issues, they may even get points deduction for this season, but they are not going to get something huge.

I think if we see the result already, we are going to see that City will get away with most of this. The charges aren't really that much, most of them are repeat and it is not as dangerous to them as people think it is, I am sure that in the end they are going to be fine.

De Ligt had a good past with Erik Ten Hag when they worked together for Ajax years back, he loves the project of Erik Ten Hag and would want to be part of it again with Manchester United. He is well aware of Manchester United not being involved in the Champions League Competition but, has made his decisions clear on how he wants to leave Bayern Munich for Manchester United. Erik Ten Hag is key figure in bringing both Joshua Zirkzee and De Ligt to Manchester United. It's all same with Andrea Onana and Lisandro Martinez.

Erik Ten Hag had difficulties with his Center backs from last season, so, I feel like it's the right thing to tackle the issues of defense before another.

Jonny Evans knows Manchester United from the time of Sir Alex Ferguson, he knew what it was like in the dressing room, so I believe he is more than just a player for rotation but also for experience and leadership of the dressing room, pitch and club. He is a much better player than Harry Maguire for me. Feels good to see Manchester United extending his contract until next season.

Jonny Evans is just being kept as a rotation defender that's all.    Manchester United could absolutely find a better player to replace him but maybe they just don't want to spend much money for this.

They are fully concentrated on strengthening the defense line in the main lineup. de Ligt transfer is on the way if we don't see any surprise. Because the player seems really keen on this which is surprising to me at the same time. Because you know de Ligt is playing for Bayern Munich which have been in much better condition for years. Anyways, the Red Devils wouldn't feel the need of questioning that for sure while they have the opportunity. 

Man City have bigger problems than losing 1 or 2 individual players. This season they will be in court defending themselves against 116 charges of cheating and cooking the books to hide financial irregularities. They could be relegated and stripped of trophies won during the years accused.

Pep has one more year left on his contract, I think he will leave in summer 2025. Their era of dominance is coming to an end.

I disagree with you, if Haaland leaves Manchester City the club is going to perform at its worst. Of course, Manchester City has a striker who can replace Haaland if he decides to leave, but we cannot compare Alvarez to Haaland because the players couldn't produce the same results, Alvarez cannot contribute as much as Haaland did for Manchester City, and Alvarez was at the club before Haaland, so did he ever win the Premier League top scorer? No, he has never won anything like this before, and we want to compare it to the Haaland that won the treble in his first season. However, Alvarez is capable of scoring many goals, but not as many as Haaland, and if Manchester City relies only on Alvarez as a striker, they will struggle to win a championship each season.

One thing about pep guadiola is that he never builds a team and centered all focus and importance on a particular player and this has also been the strength of this Manchester city side, one would have thought that the dismissal of Kevin de byrune would have slowed them drastically seeing how important the midfield Mysterio was but still they were able to fill the gap and play well and besides foden is there too.

When that really happens, Guardiola leaves Man City, de Bruyne, then if there are also rumors regarding Haaland, then that will put Man City in a difficult condition and really have to re-build the team again to be as strong as it was under Pep Guardiola with their top key players so far. But at least, Guardiolla will still accompany Man City during the next season, because he said that he will finish at Man City the next summer. Luckily, news about Haaland to follow Guardiolla is still a rumor and his agent rejected it.

Finally this happened, it's quite...... surprising, but, this means that this ensures that he will stay at Man United? Several rumors regarding his move have now ended. Indeed, sometimes situations can really turn around easily with communication and whatever the negotiation. Will this be much better in the future?
Let's see.

What is certain is that there is the latest thing at Man United, where in the end Man United extended Jonny Evans' contract for the next year until 2025. This may be quite surprising for some parties, because after all, the center back is currently 36 years old. But indeed, for his contribution last season, he was quite good for Man United. And this contract was carried out when Man United was still negotiating to sign Matthijs de Ligt.

exactly.  If I should say now, I can say Guardiola is the best coach currently. He always has full confidence in his players because he always knows that they will do what he expects from them, and this is because of how he builds them. I believe with his squad there is no shaking; they always deliver, and that is why, regardless of how good the team is, Guardiola is not always scared; he uses any player of his choice and still makes it due to how experienced he is.

I think any team that has Guardiola as a manager is lucky because seriously, he makes things really great for Manchester City currently, even if he leaves the city. I don't think Manchester City will have problems with performance because Guardiola has already trained the players in a way that they will concur with any team that comes their way.

Did you say Haaland leaving Manchester City will cause a drastic slow down in their performance, Haaland has a better replacement as City striker which we all know Alvarez can do even better in that position. We can not compare the impact from the dismissal of Rodri to Haaland, Rodri has been a core player for the team and a lot has been built around him that makes him an absolute treasure in Pep squad. But with or without them I still believe Pep will find his way round to strengthen his team and maintain their brilliance performance in the league.

If he won't be sold out, what happens to Amad Diallo? Anthony? Would they be part of the long term plans of the club? Jadon Sancho is lucky, he'd be sold out if he had not done what he was suppose to do. How can a manager ask you to apologize and you bring up bullshit rambling?! It's great to have him back and n because he was a player that saw it to the finals in the Champions League Competition, he knows what's it like now and can pass it on to others.

He would, fuel, passion, he'd want to win back his position he'll want to impress the manager, tue number nine striker will indeed benefit a whole lot from all these hungry forwards.
There'll be so much games from the Uefa European Europa League Competition to the Premier League Competition and stuff's. A sound midfielder is what I'm asking for now.

I sure the management of Manchester United will be looking forward to bring in two qualified defenders this season, I'm sure of Erik Ten Hag getting Manchester United in the top two or three clubs.

I don't think pep will have any reason to leave Manchester City, and since the management knows his value of pep so they won't do anything to angry him because pep has been of serious help to Manchester City even next season i don't think their their will be any reason. And even next season pep won't go and am sure he is going to renew is contract with Manchester City.

Pep won't go to a new club that is weak because of his accomplishments. And eventually if he goes to any club that is weak, he will try is best to build that club and that is with talent. And I don't think he will wants to leave City even when they become weak, and I have not seen a coach  That will leave a club just they are weak. As for me pep should just stay in City their is nothing for now to change his mind.

Rodri is one few Spanish players I respect including Yamal and Morata, most especially as a young talented talented player who works towards building himself. He's no doubt one of the top players the Manchester City squad have right now and leaving the club together with Haaland are going to affect the club's delivery. Although, in as much as Pep Guardiola is still in charge, he will always find a way to navigate the club to perform their best in the season.

I totally agree with you because Sancho showed another class when he was playing at Dortmund where as in Manchester united the man was struggling to make any positive contribution to the team and it would make one even think if he is worth the money spent on him which he obviously showed he was but let's hope his coming back to united would actually have a different vibe from the one he started with at united.

After all, Modric and Kroos can still play at Real Madrid until they are 38 years old for Modric and 34 years old for Kroos. Basically, Real Madrid is a big team that certainly needs players who are also fit, but Real Madrid can entrust the two old players until retirement. With examples like that, then I think De Bruyne can also still be relied on for Manchester City's midfield next season. Because after all, De Bruyne's contract is also still one season away and thus, I think it would be better for De Bruyne to stay at Manchester City until his contract expires.

But indeed, it would be something different if for example Manchester City wanted to profit by selling De Bruyne, and if that happened then maybe De Bruyne would be sold in the transfer window at this moment. But for some reason, I personally believe Pep Guardiola will also still need De Bruyne for Manchester City's attacking line next season. Although indeed, at least De Bruyne is also still very vulnerable to getting injured again, but I'm sure Manchester City is able to overcome bad things like that.

One thing I so much love about guardiola is that he always have different strategies in winning titles. Guardiola don't always bring the best players in his teams but has the understanding of how to build players to make them great, unlike other players that would want to get the best players to strengthen team. Guardiola is a coach that can perceive the potential of young players and build them to be great. I don't think Guardiola bringing money is all about a Club being financially buoyant because Guardiola don't really go for the most expensive players, he can just see a young players with good potential and develope the player.

I was also surprised when I first read that tweet. Because it wasn't looking like Erik ten Hag and Sancho would find a middle course. Sancho was really obstinate about not apologizing and Erik ten Hag's decision on him was final because of that.

But it is nice to hear that there is no problem left between these two. However the question is, will Sancho start playing much better than before?    I still have doubts about that.

The reason why I think like that is he wasn't performing amazingly before this incident either. He was far from his performance at Dortmund. But I hope he proves me wrong and starts being beneficial for his team as of now.

While I do agree that KDB isn't against moving to Ittihad, I just don't think that it would be this season. He has a few more years at City if you ask me, he is only 33 years old, and could play until 35 there before he makes the move. Or, they may offer something insane for him, and both the club and the player may accept it, I do not know. I think that would be the most important part, how much is the offer?

Let's assume that they somehow convinced City, how much would they be willing to pay for KDB? He is still on top of his game, and they are not getting some old has been this time, it would be some great player who is awesome. They would need to offer something more than 50+ million a year at least, which I do not think would be smart.
