Will he be a bit more cautious than going...
or gun blazing like he did in France for example which worked in Ligue 1 but probably as we saw with Poste Coglou for example because there's a few similarities between some of the ideas certainly with the ball that in the Premier League might be too risky let's see what he does but he's a really smart kid so I've got no doubt that he would adapt well Are you suggesting he doesn't need the glasses Jules?
No, I think... No, I think the glasses make him look great.
I think they have to go for at least one defender, if not two, to be fair.
I know Guardiola was a bit cautious saying, let's see, we can cope.
Of course, he was always going to say that.
But when you look at the Chelsea game and they ended that game with a back four of...
Mateusz Nunez at right-back, Nico Reilly at left-back, who both of them, as we know, obviously are not full-backs.
And then Kuzanov and Ake as their two centre-backs.
And if one of them, OK, Rico Lewis, but if something happens to one of them, it gets even worse.
So they have to go for somebody in the transfer window for sure in January, whether that's Margue and trying to tempt him away.
from Crystal Palace and paying for it because obviously everybody knows now that they badly need defenders in January or is to go somewhere else.
But I think, remember what they did last January, which was a little bit different, but they went for Kusanov, they went for Vitor Reis, two young centre-backs, very promising, but not really clearly.
Remember that debut for Kusanov against Chelsea at the Etihad, which was very difficult.
So I think they will go for a more established Premier League defender, a more experienced one as well.
I think they've got a bit of a war chest there because they sold really well.
