    Gabriel, Saliba, Kiwior, Zinchenko, Timber, Tomiyasu and Benny Blanco all 26 and younger. Shoot that shit into my veins let’s fucking go.

      Need that kinda depth in the engine room.

      Love thomas , el neny, fabio and Kai but they have not contributed enough and jorginho is a stop gap

      if you exclude zinchenko (which i do, because he plays a completely different role and isn’t interchangeable with these players), we have a group of center backs and combo defenders on par with any club in the world. city are able to rotate their defenders and endure injury issues better than anyone because of the versatility and depth they have, and this group is starting to look an awful lot like theirs. plus: the oldest one is only 25. their ceiling as a group is probably still 2-3 years away.

      if we can wrap up tomiyasu, we will have an incredible platform back there and i think we can really focus our attention on bringing in an A+ attacking player and a younger midfielder to replace one of jorginho or partey in the summer. the osimhen links make sense when you look at how well manned we are in other parts of the pitch. next summer will be about quality and not quantity.

      Maybe Pavard or Stones, both haven’t played much left back though to my knowledge

    His agent did their job then. Possibly forced the clubs hand to get this done early rather than wait till summer.

    Maybe the club were in no rush, and didn’t want to risk an early deal only for tomi to miss a lot of the season due to injury

      believe it’s been confirmed this is the same person as AFC Camden. both accounts have proven to be pretty on point, up there with TNAT.

      One of my favourite signings of the current team. Out of nowhere, no rumours beforehand, pundits clueless about him, absolutely top class player and perfect fit for the style of play of the team.

      the fact we got Tomi & Trossard for less than 40 million combined in this market is fucking unreal
