Only thing left to do is go for a QUADRUPLE!!!


So far Mahrez and Gundogan are gone. Cancelo and Silva look like they are trying to get to Barca. Walker trying to get to Bayern and Lamporte looks to be gone as well.

The only significant signings has been Kovacic and now Gvardiol seems to be in the bag.

What used to be our weakest link (attacking forwards) is now our only true strength. Hopefully more strength to come.

Come on Citeh!

I've decided I'm going to just root for a random team in England and if they're at the top of the table, I can celebrate them winning, as if I'm from that city in England.

If you want to be a fan of the best soccer league in the world, you gotta pick an EPL team.

Each year I'm going to root for the team on top of the table. So last season it was Arsenal for most of the year and then City.

I'm just kidding. I'm way to old to adopt a team for a city I've never been to.

I follow players. Haaland is one of them so I watch a lot of City.

How do you think people in other countries that are fans of MLB, NBA, NFL teams choose? You think they don't feel worthy to root for and feel elation over wins for their teams because they don't live or haven't even been to the cities of the teams they root for?

Going to the UK and watching City play at home and at Wembley were certainly great experiences for me, but I was a huge fan long before I set foot in any of the stadiums there.

It might be for some people, it's not for me.

I feel like the Jerry Seinfeld bit. I have no connection to the city so I might as well be rooting for laundry.

If pro teams can leave cities, fans can claim teams of other cities.

True. But that's just not for me. I root for my local teams, A&M, and my favorite soccer players.

I love how short the football off season is.

Going to be interesting to see how the team sets up now with the departures. Trust in Pep.

Also good to hear. Though Silva and De Bruyne are both not going to Greece for the Super Cup for injury reasons.

Figured this strategy would emerge this season vs Haaland with the more lenient rules.

Let's hope this shores up the mid somewhat while Kev is out.
