Does that mean stones is definitely coming as our number 24

Where's Vinny and Mangler? Strange!?

Yeah that's what I was thinking.

Not to mention Wilfy and Nasri
think Kompany must be some way away from fitness but the squad will be changed if we get through to the group stage - still time for Joe, Navas, Kolarov, Denayer, Delph etc to be replaced in the next few weeks. We can but hope.

Stones is in our CL squad apparently

Also Denayer in and Tosin out. I can't understand why Denayer wasn't given game time against Arsenal in that case. Looks like Kolarov may stay this season which would mean that neither Maffeo nor Angelino will be in the first team squad this season on the face of it.

It's for the qualifying phase. Vinnie is not fit and Mangala is obvs outta here like last year.

The thing is though, the decision must be made on Mangala a long time ago, pep has hardly had the chance to see much of him.

the yoof lads are on the b-list. keep the fuck up.

[sheblue]

its a bit of a mess now.

[blues2win]

Thats not the point. Were not going to have three left or right full backs in the CL or PL squads. Zabaleta and Kolarov staying is bad news for Maffeo and Angelino.

UEFA say Stones was on the list supplied by City and that he is registered to play. However, they are double checking because they 'have had a lot of calls'.

[PrezIke]

Pretty wild either way to have his name listed there, but we need him badly.

He will surely join very soon so we are able to do this whilst the media are going to expend most of their energy on Pogba so this goes a bit under the radar rather than the biggest story.

[Green & Blue]

This is crazy. Uefa have confirmed he has to be signed to be named, yet he's in the Champions league squad.

I know we are short at the back but we'd hardly chance such a stunt when he's not our player yet.

It's not going under the radar, if anything it's weighed in on the Pogba love in and is getting major coverage now. SSN are all over the Stones story.

this is the list for the play off game ONLY. a lot will change between now and the end of august.

SSN now reporting Stones hasn't signed - huge admin error - very embarrassing etc etc

does that mean whoever organised this preseason and manages the ticket office also submitted the cl squad list?

Under the radar may have been a bit of an exaggeration as of course it will be reported but the timing either or both lessens the attention to Pogba or gets less than if it had happened, say last week.

[blues2win]

Yes supposed City source saying v embarrassing. We were obviously desperate to get him on the list and it may be internal wires got crossed late last night. I've no doubt he'll be signed probably today.

Dont mind them, they are raging because they had to take their heads out of Pogbas ass for a while.

[PeterParker]

Weird as fuck.

Admin error, embarassement, but no debate on the fact that Mino Raiola got 27 mil for doing nothing.

I suppose this admin error thing was with yellow Breaking News line on SNN, no?


Bunch of cunts.

[Hazy2]

Great work for me as it messes the scums day of back slapping on the back of the worst financial deal ever in football .
Sold for £1.5 mill and 300 mill to get him back, great work by the rag bastards.

What we can say about Denayer is he has CL experience (I think). Tosin didn't do himself any favours. I think he's an excellent prospect in the way he plays, but it wasn't just the goal. He gave them a chance at least once more in that game and 3 times at least in the Dortmund game. Needs to get used to this passing business.

I know I'm not Denayer's biggest fan but it's possible he had a small knock or strain and it was best not to play him unless necessary?
