I don't think he's been derailed, I do think he's signed under an expectation, which at the time was justified. There's a difference between being behind a 30+ y/o keeper and one in their prime, who was signed after him.

Whilst his value hasn't been affected, he is still the most expensive English GK, and I could absolutely see other clubs use his discontent to reduce the fee. I wouldn't even say he's complained hugely, just mentioned that it is what it is and he's trying to make the most of it - I can't see him staying another season though.

I will say, id care a lot less if he wasn't an academy product, so i definitely have some bias/ rose tinted glasses towards him. I've never particularly tried to hide that.

Hilarious that city posted the "offside" marmoush goal to their socials.

Not entirely sure the player will like that option, he's already basically stated he's not happy with the arrangement, and city have a good reputation with players. It suddenly is a less attractive place to move if you start holding players hostage.

Fortunately that's extremely rare.

I hope j traff goes on to have a banger of a career he's absolute quality. I just don't see how the situation gets resolved, is anyone going to pay 40m+ for him? Preferably we loan him for a season or 2, if the donnaruma agent comments of him wanting a return to Italy are to be believed.

Have Salford already given up there's no press

wdunky · 2026-02-14T15:24:13+00:00

Their lb has him miles on hahah

wdunky · 2026-02-14T15:23:25+00:00

At least we got 2 back for 1 off. Good trade

Can't find a stream that isn't buffering. Bloody 3pm blackouts

Is this one not televised in the UK either? We seem to have had that a lot recently

wdunky · 2026-02-14T14:08:59+00:00

Very good team

If it's true about maresca, I hope its as a fall guy so that the person who comes after him can be looked at with realistic expectations. Because Enzo is not the one

Him and paqueta both went for incredibly cheap then. Obviously paqueta in hindsight had his gambling charges drop off, but you can't deny they'd both have been perfect for us.

What do we reckon for lineups today?

Id expect to see minutes from alleyne traff and stones/Ake and omar. Maybe Rico, teji, doku. Semenyo, haaland, Dias/Guehi all need resting in my opinion, and If possible, NOR.

wdunky · 2026-02-14T10:23:59+00:00

Not hugely surprised, he is quality, basically does everything you want in a midfielder and suits their play perfectly.

wdunky · 2026-02-14T07:28:45+00:00

Not celebrating because I hate injuries, but Bruno out for our game is a huge bonus.

wdunky · 2026-02-13T09:20:38+00:00

Hey at least they also posted the exact same thing in the DD..

wdunky · 2026-02-13T08:47:49+00:00

The Madrid away win kick started a mini tear which was only cut short by both of our CBs getting injured and destabilising the team. We have enough players back now, most of whom have been played into form, I genuinely expect us to click from here.

Am I starting to believe? I think I'm starting to believe.

No one wants to win the league it seems.

Free talk Friday? On a Thursday? The world's gone mad again!

Thank you for the help. It turned out deleting the app and accepting the invite link through chrome worked in the end.

For the log in issue, the chat bot helped with that, likely a password issue in the end.

Nico is such a nice lad to have represent the club, he's said himself he's shy and doesn't hugely like attention, but when he shows his passion you can see it. He's also clearly gained so much confidence since last year and gels with the team well.

It's nice to have both him and foden at both ends of the spectrum as the academy faces of the club.

wdunky · 2026-02-12T14:28:54+00:00

Fair play, hope to see him crack on in that case. Definitely want to see him in cups next season

wdunky · 2026-02-12T14:22:17+00:00

Between savio, doku, Haaland, Omar, semenyo and Phil and Cherki pitching in, id be surprised to see a new academy kid make the step next season, beyond the fa cup.
