Once Sari went there and I think more wages as well? Also London over Manchester isn't a hard decision

Sit on City's bench or start for Chelsea and challenge City for the title working with a manager thats got the most out of him? Think that's an easy choice. He has to take a spot off 1 of Gundogan/Silva/Fernandinho when he'd be an automatic starter every week at Chelsea(but will play around similarly good players in Kante+Fabregas).

Didn’t know City had enough fans to warrant a thread

Well for a lot of players, working for Guardiola is a huge pull.

He would win more at Man City and you would expect him to become a regular starter pretty quickly at Man City?

Most footballers are dull as **** so not sure why living in London would make any difference. When you've got that level of money, you can make anywhere good frankly.



I don't think any (or maybe one or two?) Man City fans post but it's a good place to chat about the club.

Man City over the last 5 years have won the same amount of trophies as we have? They won the title in record fashion but so did we the season before.

So who's place is he going to take at City? Like think about it for a second, Gundogan can't get into the team and you expect Jorginho to?

But Man City have been in the CL for all 5 years whereas Chelsea have been a mess with the boom and bust cycle. 2 league titles followed by 2 seasons finishing outside the top 4. That's without going into the fact that two of your best players are trying to force their way out.

I thought he would be taking Fernandino's position?

Man City have been in the CL for 5 years but they've not done any better than us on the pitch overall despite our boom-bust cycle which looks worse than it is because of the Mourinho season. City 2 years ago and 3 years ago could easily have been in the same position, its fine margins and is not indicative of who is better between us two over the past 5 years. I think its kinda myopic looking at last season to see who is a more attractive option. City have a better team but Chelsea have a team that can challenge(assuming Hazard stays and we make a couple signings)

Fernandinho and Gundogan both play in that position though. I dunno I'd look at Bernardo Silva who people would have thought have taken his namesakes position in central midfield yet is touching the bench for the entire season and will be on the bench even more now with Mahrez(in fact if Pep uses Bernardo Silva in CM that leaves less space for Jorginho.

He would get games, but he wouldn't be an automatic starter.

Well Man City have done better recently than Chelsea - I don't know how you can dispute that? They've matched Chelsea's success and then not had the same lows.

Yea fair enough if Jorginho wouldn't be a regular starter. Seems to becoming slightly more common where Man City try to sign but won't promise being first choice (see same with Van Djik?).

3 PLs each in the last 10 years but with Chelsea grabbing the ultimate honour in the CL but ok m8 no one can dispute anything you say

You guys look like you could walk the league again. Bernardo Silva look immense playing the David Silva role.
