Simon Bajkowski

I'm David Mooney.

With me this week, I've got from the Manchester Evening News, Simon Bajkowski.

Hello.

And from Sporting News, Dom Farrell.

Well, that is it for this week's Blue Moon Podcast.

Thank you very much to my guests for this one.

Simon Bajkowski.

Thank you very much.

[upbeat music] [applause] Hello, and welcome to the latest edition of our Talking City podcast.

I'm Simon Bajkowski, and we are not in our main studio today because we're in the office of Academy Director Thomas Krohnen.

Uh, thanks for, for this, Thomas.

Thanks for your time.

I mean categorically we won't have a back three this season that boast the likes of a metaphorical Bakary Sanja and Alexander Kolarov in the same back three you know that just won't happen this season Kolarov

opinions on Rico Lewis I mean I'm sure some would probably you know swap him for for a Bakary Sanja uh no uh yeah absolutely spot on and and Dan I do wonder um your opinion on this because uh and I'm completely stealing this question from Simon Bajkowski, who asked it on one of these sort of appearances that he's done over the last few weeks, but did Hugo Viana and the City board, obviously there's so much talk about Enzo Fernandes, I know we covered it earlier in the show, but in terms of sort of going out and backing him to get the guy that he wanted, and I think it has, you know, kind of gone the opposite way with some people making out like he's, you know, of course there were links to Gusto and Neto, but it's not like he signed five Chelsea players.

It appears that he kind of went, you know, circled Enzo Fernandez, I want to work with him, blah, blah, blah.

Considering, of course, Bernardo Silva left, fine, whatever, that was kind of expected end of the contract.
