Fernandinho is going so De Jong takes his place. I honestly think Gundo is finished, he might be able to rest up over the summer and come back fit next summer for his final season, which is probably the plan. There’s rumours that we’ll go in for Bellingham next summer which would tie in with that. McAtee could get some minutes next season if Gundo still isn’t right.I just don't see FDJ transfer happening unless Bernardo is leaving. I really hope he doesn't leave.Don't see De jong be happy playing Gundogan minutes here if he came, also we have Grealish and Foden who are more midfielders than wide players.It would be very difficult to make them all happy.
El Chiringuitois it that Spanish program el something I’ve forgotten the name but they just said they want Laporte and will try for Bernardo
Not sure on Gundo but 100% agree would love to see a powerful, quick central midfielder in who can play a bit but also has that bit of bite in them.I’ll be perfectly honest, I haven’t seen a great deal of him. From what I gather he’s similar to Gundo, good in tight areas, dictates play but is also good going forward.
My only concern is that I feel we should be targeting a midfielder that is different to anything else we’ve got. Big, strong, athletic type, bit of a nasty twat that the fans love straight away. Bellingham sort of fits the bill and also Tchouameni.
I can see Gundo leaving as he looked finished last night, he was struggling big time. We can’t afford to carry passengers in our squad, every player needs to be bang on it.
FDJ plays 6 and 8 which is exactly what we need. Most players we get linked with immediately has a few reactions here along the lines of “we don’t need them because we have x” but it seems nearly impossible to argue against this transfer from that perspective. This is a guy that at the end of next season would have found a place in our starting XI for the following season.Fernandinho is going so De Jong takes his place.

Yes he can definitely play DM, he used to even play centre back for Ajax in his early days in 17/18 season I think. He used to be a ball carrying CB for them.Is he capable of playing in a DM role? People on twitter are saying he is mainly an attacking midfielder and needs a double pivot to be an effective DM.
The reliable City boys reporting it too. Seems coordinated and not sure the club would just make it up for the sake of itHave a feeling there are legs to this one. We know Pep is a fan.
Could you PM Pep with this news?Is he capable of playing in a DM role? People on twitter are saying he is mainly an attacking midfielder and needs a double pivot to be an effective DM.
It makes sense they want his wages gone so are selling cheap its win win if we get him class player.Geddin. Be interesting to see if this means no Bellingham because you’d assume we’d be on the table for him when he decides to leave Dortmund purely because of how big a prospect he is.
So glad there’s some concrete links for FDJ, though!
If Gundo goes and Fern then we are going to need more than just FDJ. We need Bellingham as wellGeddin. Be interesting to see if this means no Bellingham because you’d assume we’d be on the table for him when he decides to leave Dortmund purely because of how big a prospect he is.

TH is saying that we are after one, have mentioned Sergio Gomes from anderlecht.Loads of briefings taking place
Need a LB too, to go with haaland, Alvarez and fdj

No idea, he is la masia trained which means he knows how to play our football. He is 21 and plays in the belgian league so maybe more a prospect than an instant starter?No idea about him. Is he good?
