I know it would be tough to get him away from home but if I was them I’d be asking David Silva if he wants £350 a week for 6 months to keep them up

El Mago doesn't get out of bed for less than £400 per week. Peanuts!I know it would be tough to get him away from home but if I was them I’d be asking David Silva if he wants £350 a week for 6 months to keep them up

They should go for Ward-Prowse with a big pay offer. He is fantastic at set pieces. They might be able to prise Conor Coady away from Wolves as well.I think they will get Digne because Chelsea don’t want to buy him, just a 6 month loan while Chilwell is out.
Trippier and Digne would keep them up IMO.
Not just much better defenders than they currently have but also great attacking outlets and set piece takers.

I'd be surprised if any bottom half Premier League club wants to sell to them and potentially put their spot in the league in jeopardy.
I think a lot of Premier League owners will be secretly/not so secretly hoping they get relegated.

If you can bear to even listen to a bit of it, that Geordie prick basically saying only Newcastle's spending can stop us now. Such a fucking hypocrite who went on and on and on about our owners and our spending and how everything we won was hollow. Now he wants people to accept his opinion that the league needs Newcastle to spend in order to challenge City...like we've got no other challengers!
All the others on the panel were trying to make decent points about United's spending and Chelsea's spending and how much of an influence Pep is but he barely even let them finish.

That's true but I just have a feeling Newcastle will make a big statement and money always talks. Trippier is a good start but they desperately need a centre back and centre midfielder to have any chance of staying up. There are not many available strikers I can think of.I'd be surprised if any bottom half Premier League club wants to sell to them and potential put their spot in the league in jeopardy.

They need a Robinho like signing. Howe just wants his mates at the club for a nice little earner.

IMHO it will take more than those two to keep them up, albeit they would both be decent signings. The current squad is pretty much entirely Championship standard. My guess is they need 4 or 5 decent additions.I think they will get Digne because Chelsea don’t want to buy him, just a 6 month loan while Chilwell is out.

A'hh thanks for reminding me just why I loathe and despise Mike Ashley and Steve Bruce, it had slipped my mind.The current squad is pretty much entirely Championship standard.

I’d have more respect for him if he just admitted he fucking hates everything about city, instead of acting like he cares about the competitiveness of the league.
The guys an absolute helmet.

He gets so worked up whenever he talks about us.I’d have more respect for him if he just admitted he fucking hates everything about city, instead of acting like he cares about the competitiveness of the league.
You can tell from the stuff he says about City and Guardiola that he does absolutely no research into what he's talking about. He'd rather just repeat a load of lazy clichés because it's easier and he knows most neutral fans will agree with him.

they only need to finish 17th!
2 good defenders with their set piece deliveries are probably enough to get 8 or 9 more points from the next 19 games than they managed from the first 19.
Im sure they’d be better off if they did more than that, but only worth buying players for the long term not bringing people in because they’re available now and slightly better.

JWP would be an amazing signing in the summer of Southampton got relegated but I doubt he’d leave mid-season with the club in trouble, being a home grown captain and all that.
He could probably aim higher anyway, Liverpool could do with him in midfield to replace Henderson, Spurs would love him….even United.
Plus Southampton just got new owners, don’t see them selling the clubs best player first thing - not a good impression.
for £400 a week id pay it to have him back!would let him come back on the pitch at the Etihad though :)

I'm glad we've already won the title. When's the trophy parade?

Fair comment but set piece deliveries still need finishing. Otherwise they seem to depend heavily on Saint Maximain & Wilson up front - both of whom are injury prone. Almiron wasn't worth the money, neither was Joelinton (who's now in midfield). Neither are PL quality IMHO. To my mind I think they need 2 good defenders, a decent defensive midfielder, a creative midfielder and a striker who can get them 10+ goals between now & May.they only need to finish 17th!

Unless they can address these issues I can't see them getting out of it. What they may be hoping for is 2 or 3 decent results in the Cup and League before the window closes which may convince a better quality of player that there is light at the end of the tunnel. They may well have had that sort of conversation already with players' agents.

Southampton are very unlikely to be relegated. Norwich have one of those spots pretty much nailed down. That leaves two spots between Burnley, Watford, Newcastle and L***s. With Everton as outsiders to be dragged into the scrap.JWP would be an amazing signing in the summer of Southampton got relegated but I doubt he’d leave mid-season with the club in trouble, being a home grown captain and all that.

I do think the Aubameyang shout is not terrible.
Arsenal would love to be rid of him.
Newcastle would love to pay his wages for 6 months.
He can play, score some goals and get a better move on the back of it in the summer.
Jordan is a cretin. Atletico aren't winning the league, and Trippier's paid incredibly well there already.

Taken at face value it's a great value signing for Trippier.
