The African cup of nations does disrupt some teams, but equally if all these signings happen the next Copa America will disrupt our pre-season.


Either way, if we're looking at signing quality players, they are gonna have to be internationals, and that means they are gonna have to do interntional duty. With international duty comes the risk of injury, the Olympics every four years, Copa America every four yuears, ACON every two. There is always a risk

Great news there then. So instead of the usual dross that we have had to 'look forward to' every season pulling on a City shirt, we can look forward to a tip-top quality squad that is unavailable for important games.

There is gonna be a downside to every player we buy, be it him going to the African Nations, Copa America or the World Cup, we're just gonna have to accept that, unless we have a completely European squad, we will lose some players at some point.
