Coming so soon after Bury, this is desperately sad news.

The football family must come together at this difficult time ... perhaps we can send Balogun as an emergency loan?

Are Bear bones some kind of fancy nutrition bought in by Guardiola ?

If only they had an under 23s set up to promote from within. Foden is, according to Pep, the most talented footballer ever to grace this planet. But he can't a minute on the pitch.

Kyle Walker will find himself learning how to play centre back and their latest £50-60million full back will come in and play right back. Happily, Walker is a catastrophe defensively (except for his pace to get himself out of trouble from time to time) so City should be extremely vulnerable to teams who really attack them. Hopefully they'll get stung for a few points in the next few months and Liverpool will keep up the run. Not pro-Liverpool unilaterally, but I much prefer them to City.

LaPorte out for months and now Stones out for 5/6 weeks leaving them with only one fit centre half and he is crap. Not a good decision to not buy in the window, as bad as us getting rid of all our attackers. Liverpool could walk the PL now

Oh dear oh dear, don't you just feel sooooo sorry for them . . .

NOT!

That will be a £200m napkin sponsorship deal announced over Xmas then to fund January’s inevitable squad gap plugging

Surely they are down to the bare bones, but fully understand that the emotional jolt that this news has caused everyone, probably played a part in the slip up.

I looked up the PL odds earlier today as I was curious what the loss of Laporte, Norwich beating City and Liverpool already having a 5-point lead had done to the odds. City were still very clear favourites at well under evens, and that's changed little now.

I'm genuinely surprised at the market still having Liverpool priced up as long as they are.
