Theyre having a bad season after many many amazing ones and are now trying to address, mess is harsh.

I’ll be fair you can’t compare us to this lot. But Liverpool and arsenal? Absolutely.
This season is a mess for them, it's relative. It's also, on their part, bad planning. People on the outside could see how dependant they were in Rodri last season.

Confirmed to city for £33.6m plus add-ons.

What a profit for Lens after buying him for 85k 18 months ago. I hope his former club agreed a sell-on %!!

He really looks awful out there - does not look comfortable at any aspect, and is spending most of the time walking around. Really odd signing.

He’s super young, just came there, playing against Chelsea in a City team that’s being doing awful this season.
Absolutely Insane people writing him off after 26 mins of football. Hes only 20 years old and playing his first game and is clearly feeling the pressure.

I think the pressure is going to eat him up at City.

The walking around would concern me if I were a City supporter - City like to play at a much higher pace than he seems ready for.

Nope, another masterstroke by Lange and the transfer committee. Bullet dodged, well played lads.

Its smart actually, if we never sign anybody they cant turn out crap.

Reinforces how impressive Archie Gray has been doesn't it.
Archie has been fantastic indeed but I think we need to see how Khusanov looks once he has 777 mins of PL football under his belt before saying he is a bad or good signing.

I certainly wouldn’t write him off at this stage.

100%. I remember Jaap Stam having an absolute stinker of a debut for United. He didn’t turn out too bad.

He's gonna be fine. But I was surprised that he couldn't catch up to Palmer on the breakaway. Where's that world-record pace?

Exactly. I mean think about Kinsky against Arsenal. If that had been his first game I wonder if people would be saying a similar thing about him.

This is the risk you always run with youth players especially when you play them in positions/roles that are exposed. You need to be patient and accept that they will make mistakes. In this case it’s the kids first game against top 4 rivals after being the country a week. Completely unsurprising that he looks very shaky. I’m sure it will take him a while to adapt and adjust.
