I dont understand all the jokes about my country. Who you think is better than Neymar? Or answer this question: if you can choose one player to bring in, any player you can just not Messi or Ronaldo, who would you choose?Have you spelt your country wrong?
Throw in a bit of Donnay and the man will be the coolest cat in the toon.Can't leave out Everlast.
At the time I remember one of his reasons for staying at Bilbao was because they had shown loyalty to him through his ankle injury so signed a new contract with a higher release as a sort of thankyou
Forget all the figures we have previously heard or read.
It's a whole new ball game.
I think there's gonna be some disappointed blumooners knocking around come the end of the transfer window myself. No doubt there'll be plenty of huffing and puffing from those trying to make things happen and we'll be linked with every top player in Europe, but when it comes down to it we'll give players who should be long gone new contracts and find ourselves kicking off next season pretty much as we are now.
9 signings, around £450m. Not happening.P L E A S E

Probably,but dont forget we may also recoup 150 - 200m in sales.9 signings, around £450m. Not happening.
Suarez for sure.I dont understand all the jokes about my country. Who you think is better than Neymar? Or answer this question: if you can choose one player to bring in, any player you can just not Messi or Ronaldo, who would you choose?
We'll soon find out won't we. Until then I'll leave it to others to get all giddy about spending hundreds of millions.Not sure why you feel this will be the case. We won't offer contracts to every old player (we know for a fact a number of them are out the door) and even if we did that doesn't stop us from bringing in world class talent.
Last summer we brought in two players who would arguably be desired by every big side in Europe in Gabriel Jesus and Leroy Sane. We also got Barcelona and Chile's number 1 and England's most promising play-making central defender in an age.
Even another window on that level, and I think most here expect even more, would be amazing given the foundation laid already.
The underlying point you're making though is that ultimately we'll fail to acquire most of our transfer targets, which doesn't seem likely at all. City have the financial clout, the promise of trophies/success and of course Pep Guardiola, all of which is a serious lure for any player in the game. The Laportes are the exceptions.

We probably will spend a few quid. Hopefully in positions that desperately require it, but it seems most of the budget is being earmarked for forwards reading this place and I can't say I agree that's needed.why do you think we wont be spending a lot mate?

Quality incomings and early is the key.
Wouldn't go that high but we may get to 100 million. We can only get there if someone comes in with a stupid figure for Kun.
It's interesting that Toure, the full backs, and by the sounds of things Willy, aren't getting new deals. If they all go, which is looks like they will, then I suspect we may have to go as high as 300 million gross this summer. Certainly between 200 - 300 million with my bet being it'll be closer to the 300 million mark. It's certainly doable if we bring in anything like 100 million in sales.
You get the feeling that there'll be nothing left to chance next season. So in terms of incoming players I expect it'll be the biggest summer we've had since the take over.
Not much will happen early this summer IMO. Too many clubs looking to buy at the very top end so fees are inflated.
