Ofc. Nothing is confirmed yet. Raphinha is struggling to choose between Tottenham and arsenal. But if city joins it's a no brainer for him. I think we can get him cheaper that others as well. Like philips rejected bids from other pl clubs offering much moreMaybe good relations with Leeds can help?
Never gotten the hype with Raphinha to be honest, nowhere near as good as folk think.I wanted sterling's replacement to be raphinha. Looks like he's going to arsenal tho
We spent the entirety of last season missing a striker to replace Aguero. Haaland fills that gap. Alvarez replaces Jesus as a versatile forward player. Palmer, we were told in January, replaced Torres in the squad. Now we're being told he's replacing Sterling as well.
If we do choose not to replace Sterling (looks likely), we'll be losing an important dimension to our attack. I'm sure Pep will tweak things, but I'd like a bit of pace.
With Mahrez's age and contract situation, there's a ready made place for Palmer to take as his successor, (the same goes for Gundo and McAtee).
I really don't believe signing a new winger this summer would harm his development, especially with 5 subs and a ridiculous schedule. Don't forget he can play in midfield too.
Facts but he is a genuine right winger unlike leao(lw) felix(ss) and he is good in 1v1 against defendersNever gotten the hype with Raphinha to be honest, nowhere near as good as folk think.
Flashy though, so Arsenal fans will rim him mercilessly. Good fit so.
I can see McAtee possibly being included in the Cucurella deal ….
If your right a hope it's a loan and not permanent, sure I've read somewhere Pep wants to integrate him slowly this year similar to how he worked with Foden.I can see McAtee possibly being included in the Cucurella deal ….
I don't know if we will or not. Think it will be down to Pep , if he says he's happy to use Palmer, we will if he says he needs another in we probably will. I'm fairly confident we're good for next season once we have a left back whichever way the club / Pep decide.Cucurella late on next week then? Imagine being possibly done in the transfer market for the 1st July like khaldoon stated he would like? If Sterling goes as expected alongside Jesus then surely we will look to add another wide player?
IMO selling with buy-back clauseOn loan?
Haven’t seen any interest from City. Top player tho. I’m still hoping for a curveball if Raz and Jesus goesMaybe good relations with Leeds can help?

His playing time with us next season will be limited and he needs/wants more playing timeIMO selling with buy-back clause
Just speculation on my part pal as it might help grease the skids.
Plus, Potter does advocate a similar playing style to us which no doubt the powers that be at City have noted …

Weird signing for them. They’re sorted in wide positions. Martinelli and Saka. Pepe too lolNever gotten the hype with Raphinha to be honest, nowhere near as good as folk think.

I forgot that pepe was a playerWeird signing for them. They’re sorted in wide positions. Martinelli and Saka. Pepe too lol
I think Pepe has forgotten he was a player.I forgot that pepe was a player
Think he’s gone into the fried chicken business as he can’t get a game.I forgot that pepe was a player
I trust pep and city after they won the last two pl without a striker so I’m sure they have a plan here and prefer not to rush into a bad mistakeMost definitely mate, we have plenty of options player wise but not many winger types?
