January transfer/its quiet Thread

Fernandinho and Toure out of contract in 6 months. Either can talk to new suitors right now.
Mangala and Kompany and Kompany contracts expire in summer 2019, so this time next year can talk to other clubs.

It's makes sense to offer Fernandinho an extension. Toure can walk with his head head held high. Mangala the obvs candidate to get rid asap. Kompany can be a 4th choice CB.

Our squad is brilliant btw - but ideally we want to get good money for a few players. It makes business sense and we can maybe improve the squad too, they way I see that, it's Gundogan, Delph and maybe.... Sergio. Of the 3 we know who the most valuable is and we know there are lots of potential replacements out there in Dybala/Greizmann/Kane/Suarez etc etc

And we know the type of players that would be a better fit for Gundogan (Weigl/Fred) and Delph (Bertrand).. so it's a case of when/how.
Gundogan doesn't even play as 6, he's always been 8 both at BvB and City. Right now he's basically Silva's backup. New DM will replace Yaya.

And Dinho has already signed an extension if Sam Lee is to be believed.

We will not buy for the sake of it or to appease fans

We need depth in key positions. We have 0 healthy LBs, Dinho's only cover is an over the hill Toure sadly, and the attack could use another dynamic player because if anything happens to Aguero in the next 3 weeks we are in trouble.

I appreciate all that, but January is notoriously bad to get the quality you need.
 
From one of the other threads I'd updated how good our long term strategy is looking in comparison to the swamp:

Out of contract summer 2019:
City: Mangala and Kompany
United: Valencia, Mata, Darmian, De Gea, Rojo, Herrera, Smalling, Jones, Martial.

6 months left:
City: Toure
United: Fellaini, Young, Shaw, Carrick and Ibra

Based on that the Rags certainly need to invest more than we do in the next couple of years just to keep their status quo.
We on the other hand can focus on replacing Toure, Mangala and Kompany. Good planning on our side.

With all that lot to shift it'll cost them a bit to replace/re-sign contracts in the Sanchez years....or perhaps they'll just fill the squad with all the wonderful youth products they have ;)

They'll live a similar issue to us last season. Squad with talent in some area's, and high earners that age very quickly in other areas. It's ok saying they want Fred, or they want Seri, or they want Ghoulam, or they want Ronaldo, or they want Rose, or they want Greizmann, or they want Bale, but that's two summers worth of transfers and wages... to even contemplate a side that would challenge in Europe. They'll just do Ozil on a free won't they?
