KDB Replacement
So many people on here keep pushing ideas for replacing De Bruyne, but let’s be real, no one matches his skill set. Name one player in the last decade who even comes close to his vision when he’s pinging those insane passes. Who else is that two-footed, nails it on set pieces (both goals and assists), and can also smash a banger or place a clinical finish? You can’t. So when people say Palmer, Wirtz, Musiala are perfect replacements….. no….. no they’re not.

Fun fact: City owner has indirect stakes in clubs outside of CFG
As we all know, Man City is owned by the holding company [*City Football Group Limited*](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/City_Football_Group). It was founded by [Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mansour_bin_Zayed_Al_Nahyan) who has an 81% stake in the company through his UAE-based private equity firm called [Abu Dhabi United Group for Development and Investment (ADUG)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abu_Dhabi_United_Group).
City Football Group also owns or has large stakes in other football clubs around the world. To name a few, there's [Girona FC](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Girona_FC) (La Liga), [Palermo FC](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palermo_FC) (Serie B), [Troyes](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ES_Troyes_AC) (Ligue 2), and [NYCFC](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_City_FC) (MLS). I'm sure most City fans are aware of this project and the major clubs associated with it.
(Some more interesting ownership facts about Girona FC: While City Football owns 47% of the club, another 16% is owned by [Pere Guardiola](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pere_Guardiola), Pep's brother, through his holding company called Girona Football Group.)
Outside of CFG, did you know Sheikh Mansour is also a part-investor in [RedBird Capital Partners](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RedBird_Capital_Partners)? The US-based investment management firm holds nearly a 100% stake in [AC Milan](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AC_Milan), 85% stake in [Toulouse FC](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toulouse_FC), and a minority stake in...*\*drumroll\**...Liverpool FC!
What are your thoughts on this web of club ownership? Are there any investments I didn't mention? Hopefully all of the information is accurate and up to date.

My entry to the Puma Kit Contest
I saw many ppl enter their versions. This is my second try bcz the first one just looked like an Indian kurta(I deleted that) and this is what I/AI could come up with.
This is supposed the reflect our glorious treble and 4 in a row, something we could really help with rn.
Thoughts?
PS - Ik that the design at the centre looks a bit like the Guinness logo but it is what the AI could come up with.
