Miralem Pjanic.

Pjanic
De Bruyne
Bernardo or David
Mahrez
Sane
Aguero

Wow that would be insane!

Where’s the lad who scored 18 league goals last season are you not putting him in there???

This one DEFINITELY isn't happening.

If we can't pay 50 plus million for our prime target Jorginho, Pjanic for nearly 90m isn't going to happen. It's just a pipe dream guys, move on.

Depends what value you put on the player as a buyer

Under Pep we've been transparent in our player negotiations. If we say we're not interest in Pjanic, then I rather think that we're not given our transfer history under Guardiola.

We were not transparent with Bernardo and to some degree Danilo (although we were going after another RB).

Probably been asked but is he a defensive/deep playing midfielder? I always thought he was an attacking mid similar to KDB.

He was. Converted into a DLP by Allegri 2 years ago.

No one has suggested that we couldn't have payed 50 million plus for Jorginho. We had our valuation of him and negotiated and agreed on a deal. They reneged on the deal and there was little if anything we could have done about it.

There is a big difference between can't pay and won't pay.

Money wasn’t the issue with Jorginho, it was the fact Napoli pissed us about and tried to start a bidding war.

We’re pretty savvy when it comes to paying huge fees and will naturally look to get the best price, haggling a few millions off the club’s valuation. We agreed a fee and Napoli fucked us over so we refused to do business with them.

I’m sure now we’ve missed out on our top two targets for our 6 role, we’ll probably need to push the boat out financially to get the calibre of player we need. So if we actually are pursuing Pjanic and Juve want €80m, then we’ll have to negotiate around that figure or move on to another target.

Time is running out though.

Thanks! Personally I much prefer to see the "every touch in a game" highlight compilations than just "selective good bits from multiple games in a season". He's impressive, much more so than Kovacic for me.

Fortunately you are not.
