You must have missed the England France game with Oxlade Chamberlain playing in midfield.

He took the words "total gash" to a whole new level.

You are right, I did miss it. Although I understand there were many poor performances including Stones. But if he can't play CM he did look OK at RB in the cup semi final.

Obviously the only reason I am discussing this is the home grown rule. Walker seems seriously overpriced.
 
One of the main reasons we had only a watching brief interest on Van Dijk/another central defender is because the club feels they might need the budget for Mbappe if we do get the nod.

I feel we would be daft not to get involved considering the lads undoubted talent so i would presume its up to him and his family if its worth the risk moving at such an early stage in his career it will certainly be interesting to see how this all pans out.

Is your gut feel that Mbappe is less likely now and more likely to replace Ronaldo? Or is it just a game of bluff from his (Ronaldo's) camp?
 
he looks a real talent does mbappe but we have them in Sergio, gabby, Leroy, and hopefully sanchez? use the money to get our number one targets sorted for full backs and another CB and we are ready to go!

If for example I had a bet on Sanchez to sign for city, should I cash out now or let it ride?

A very unfair hypothetical, as I don't know your circumstances and would never encourage anybody to bet on transfers.

I certainly don't, and I've missed out on some potential big payouts and losses.

I remain confident Sanchez will see it through with us.
 
We're not being linked with another left-back are we, in addition to Bertrand?

If there was such dispute over paying £40m, having already negotiated with Monaco for Silva, at this stage, then I would be worried.
Was the French club at our place at the weekend buying or selling?

Said it before, but of all the clubs IMO we are best placed to agree a deal that leaves him at Monaco for another season. Only guessing but think that could be beneficial to Monaco obviously but also Mbappe himself another year as first choice coming up to a world cup and another year to develop in familiar surroundings. Similar to the Jesus deal.
 
Thanks for the updates Tolmie.

I just hope we get the best Full backs from the ones which are out there and attainable.

We need to sort and overhaul that defense for years.

Would have loved Alex Sandro but no links

Walker/Alves and Mendy/Bertrand should be good enough.

I still hope we can get CB (Kompany too risky) and CM but if Mbappe is possible then I would be over the bluemoon

Can't stop thinking Fabinho would have solved two positions at the same time, RB & CM :(

My sentiments exactly Brother. Cheers Tolmie.
