Sverre Nypan Arrives, Grealish Loan Dilemma & McAtee Moves | Talking City Podcast

Fri, 18 Jul 2025 16:00:00 -0000

Manchester City have landed Norwegian sensation Sverre Nypan, but the big story could be Jack Grealish’s future. On this week’s Talking City, Alex James and Tyrone Marshall dig into the possibility that a loan spell is now the only realistic route out for Grealish, with permanent interest drying up in the market. Meanwhile, academy star James McAtee looks set to depart—possibly the only significant outgoing this window. We break down what Nypan brings to Pep’s squad, whether loaning out Grealish makes any sense for City, and if this transfer window is shaping up to be a success or a letdown. Plus: What does the lack of big-money sales mean for City’s summer strategy? Are fans right to feel frustrated, or is this just a new era of quiet evolution? Drop your thoughts below—should City loan Grealish, or fight to keep him? And are you excited about Nypan’s arrival? 👉 Don’t forget to subscribe for more Man City transfer news, analysis and fan debate. 🎧 | Listen to the Talking City Podcast on Spotify: https://bit.ly/MCFCPod _ Welcome to the Talking City Podcast by the Manchester Evening News, covering everything Manchester City featuring Chief Manchester City writer Simon Bajkowski, Senior football writer Tyrone Marshall and Manchester City writer Joe Bray. 👩‍💻 | Manchester City news: https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/all-about/manchester-city-fc 📖 | Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ManCityMEN 🕊️ X/Twitter: https://twitter.com/mancitymen ⏰ | TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@mancitymen 📸 | Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mancitymen 🎧 | Spotify: https://www.bit.ly/MCFCPod

Welcome to a special edition of the Talking City Podcast! 🎙️ This week, Chief City Writer Simon Bajkowski sits down with American novelist and diehard Manchester City fan Parker Jamison (pen name Ox de Vere) for a wide-ranging, transatlantic chat.

The Leroy Sane problem, Sterling's contract and City standouts so far

Thu, 06 Sep 2018 18:29:33 -0000

It's been another busy week for Manchester City.
Pep Guardiola's side beat Newcastle 2-1 at the Etihad to leave them with three wins and one draw from the opening four games ahead of the international break.

Raheem Sterling was called up to the England squad but pulled out with a back injury; Real Madrid have again been linked with interest in the forward as he moves further into the last two years of his contract.
Simon Bajkowski, Stuart Brennan and Joe Bray were on hand to discuss the latest City developments and also picked their standout players from the opening four games for Guardiola's men. For information regarding your data privacy, visit acast.com/privacy
