Are we going big this summer then? All the players we're being linked with, we'd need to spend £200m+

We would only get £30 mill tips for mahrez. We might aswell keep him as he is good enough for cover on that side though I think he will want to play 1st team.We certainly need a DM - not going to say who but I’m sure Pep has this in hand.
A LB - probably someone young who can compete with Mendy - not sure we will be paying £50m - more like half of that.
Big call needs to be made on Mahrez. He’s obviously a good player - but he’s really not doing it for us - not only his performances but his whole fit with the squad. Might be worth giving him time to fit in - it often takes time to settle here - there are numerous players who haven’t blossomed until the second season but equally moving him on must be an option if we can get our money back and invest it more productively. Can’t see more than three mainstream additions but probably plenty of young players will be tracked.

5 years deals would add £40m per season! Puma deal would cover that....

Doubt it, think it will be 2 in maybe 3 if Otamendi goes, doubt we'll spend more than £100 mill net.Are we going big this summer then? All the players we're being linked with, we'd need to spend £200m+

It's not correct.
We already have an agreement in place with another midfielder.
City won't be spending £130m during the entire summer.
Net or gross spend though tolm? ;-)

So just 1 player coming in the summer? No left back?

A left back and a Fern replacement. It still ain't £130m.

No striker? Interesting.A left back and a Fern replacement. It still ain't £130m.

No surprise there.
Ndombele looks like the leading candidate to me for £70m. Then another £30m-£40m for a LB, would prefer we take the cheap route with a left back but don’t see it happening.
Grimaldo and Ndombele would be good.A left back and a Fern replacement. It still ain't £130m.

We already have Jesus and Pep's teams always rely heavily on goals from the wingers more so than a traditional striker. Sane and Sterling are more than expected to bag 15-20 goals a season and 20-30 from the striker.No striker? Interesting.
No reason to spend money on a striker this summer.

Think it leaves little margin for error, if Aguero starts to decline over the next 18 months. Means any incumbent in the summer of 2020 would almost certainly need to hit the ground running. Not saying it’s necessarily the wrong approach, but it isn’t without significant risk, especially as Aguero and Jesus could quite conceivably sustain concurrent injuries.We already have Jesus and Pep's teams always rely heavily on goals from the wingers more so than a traditional striker.

I hear you but I honestly don’t see how we can rotate three strikers. Especially if we see Aguero and Jesus not get injured.Think it leaves little margin for error, if Aguero starts to decline over the next 18 months.

Yeah, it’s a bit if a damned if we do, damned if we don’t scenario. Will definitely need looking at next summer (2020).I hear you but I honestly don’t see how we can rotate three strikers. Especially if we see Aguero and Jesus not get injured.
