He's easily able to dictate it to Liverpool by not officially informing them until the end of the season. We can't announce it - unless we say "we've decided to withdraw out contract offer to Trent" - until he does that. Madrid may have gone along with that as part of their agreement.

Stranger things have happened - he's another with two years left. There's question marks over all of them aside from Mo and Cody - I just don't see us changing more than two forwards in the window. Mind you we did it with the midfield two years ago so

Apart from Mrs G's Uncle and his two lads that have been ST holders & up and down the M1 every other weekend their whole lives. And have turned from reasonably sane people into typical City conspiracy theory nutters over the last decade

I'll start making more room on the pyre

Yeah there's also that - however Jota's injury record kind of means you need six whilst he's still here. Replacing Nunez with someone that fits Slot's system better will be a massive upgrade whatever happens with the rest of them

Nah, neither should he be. I reckon Jota stays 'cos it'll be difficult to sell someone with his injury record, Diaz goes 'cos he's 28 with 2 years left on his contract and has resale value at the moment, Nunez is a certainty to go. If we had a young player that could fill the 6th forward role then I'd say Chiesa goes as well, but neither Danns or Doak are probably ready for that yet so I reckon Freddy might stay.

Gakpo treated like a god dog

Direct result of the FA spunking close to £1B on the Wembley rebuild innit. And yeah it's s***e - especially on fans.

There’s an “Why were there thousands of empty seats at FA Cup semi?” article on the BBC that says lots of words to avoid saying “ ‘cos the FA are s***e and Man City fans are worse”

You really don’t want two players in the same position potentially going to AFCON - with Mo here for two more years we shouldn’t sign another one

Think there’s two barriers - firstly the road, both rerouting it and number of houses on the other side which would need to be demolished or impacted by the size of it. Secondly the club would be on the hook for major infrastructure improvements if the capacity goes over what it is now.

Think it was more that people were up for a much bigger capacity and it was difficult to see how you'd do that with Anfield - credit to them for being able to. Shame it's virtually impossible to expand the Kop now though

TBF he ended up having to play 6 didn't he? Not his best position although he's pretty good there

Yeah - no doubt there was a couple but it was a sea of red all over by the look of it
