But this is exactly what we tried to do to sign Maguire according to a piece co-written by Sam Lee

anyone else think otamendi was solid yesterday? Got the better of salah quite a few times. still think he's a very good defender when called upon
He was tremendous considering he hadn’t played in preseason.
Showed good leadership too.
There is absolutely no need to move him and bring someone new in.

With the arrival of Cancelo, I think Pep has his business done now. Maybe Walker could be moved to CB (if needed) and Fernandinho will basically be playing as a centre back next season.
Otta was outstanding on Sunday. If Laporte gets a long term injury we're screwed.

Your 100% correct with the injury concern to Laporte or Stones for that matter, hence why we desperately need another top class CB even this late in the window.With the arrival of Cancelo, I think Pep has his business done now.

Hopefully Txixi has been working his magic and will surprise us all.

He will have to be homegrown or under 21
No problem, Laporte will be there, and when not, Ota is very good in the air
Yep, but she’s not cool anymore. We need some fancy new names even if they are worse than what we have..

You are correct re concerns regarding Laporte but how would we address that issue - who could we presently target to address the concern? Maguire and Ake are not the answer and they are going for stupid money.

Not if Sane leaves
And as there is absolutely no sign of that happening, either they go for a homegrown or young cb, or the window will close.
I imagine it's Fernandinho, Rodri, Harwood Bellis, Garcia, for that job.
Edit: and of course if it's a back 3 sometimes, Walker pretty much plays that role now in large parts of games.
I think there is every possibility of him leaving, but if it's before the Premier League window closes I would agree it seems unlikely.And as there is absolutely no sign of that happening, either they go for a homegrown or young cb, or the window will close.

I can see a deal reached on deadline day for the German League which I think falls on 31st August.

Do you understand how weak our negotiation platform would be with Bayern if we signed a non home grown centre back? Bayern would know we need to shift a player or have him sat in the stands for a year.
Hence why I said I can't see Sane leaving BEFORE the English window closes which would mean we WONT sign a foreign CBDo you understand how weak our negotiation platform would be with Bayern if we signed a non home grown centre back?

If Bayern want Sane this season I can see them pushing City till the final hours of the 31st.

Bayern simply can’t afford him. They’ve already spent £100m. I doubt they’ve got £200m to spend.

EUFA will give them a 0% loan.

That would be very poor management.
So no chance at all imo.

They have money. Soft loans from sponsors etc. They are tough negotiators but will have access to funds. They have a huge rebuild to undertake- so us fucking them over for Sane could cost them dearly in the long run!

Unless of course City set a deadline of Thursday !
Simply not true, Bayern have major backers and are a very wealthy clubBayern simply can’t afford him. They’ve already spent £100m. I doubt they’ve got £200m to spend.

Yes, but like the rest of us, can only spend what FFP allows.
They will not be able to shell out the type of money we will rightly want.
