I don’t know about anyone else but I find myself getting less and less bothered about potential signings. More than 1 player can do the job for us. The current squad is fantastic and needs very little tweaking depending on departures. Once we landed Haaland the rest seem not so significant if that makes sense.

The drama is not real. Only Jude and TH know if he wants to come to city -:)

I would still prefer a player like De Jong at Barca but can understand the clamour for Jude. It all depends on how pep wants to evolve going forward. The fb and winger situation does not seem so prevalent atm.

Maybe we are going brute force next season. Mcfc Wimbledon!

Agreed and I think this boils down to just having complete trust in Guardiola to mould a winning team from what he has.

When he first arrived, literally no-one on earth would have predicted that we might be winning a treble with four centre-backs in the team.
 
I don't usually post on these things, however, all I know is City never panic if they don't achieve Plan A.

We have B-F and more as options that seem to pan out quite nicely, thank you very muchly.

We're not after a machine, in particular, we're after a cog to keep the system purring nicely.

exactly, either option excites me
 
Haven't really kept up with the thread so no doubt am repeating a point that's been made several times before. From the relatively little I've seen of the player, he obviously has fantastic potential but has a lot of improvement in him yet.

If I were him, I'd think that working under Pep for at least a couple of seasons at this stage would be the key to ensuring that such potential is unlocked to the maximum degree. That would override any other consideration for me right now. If it doesn't from him then IMO he's being badly advised.

i like the idea of gravenberch. built like bellingham, under the radar due to his time at bayern, sounds like our type of signing. bayern wont let him go cheap tho

...... He shouldn't have to be advised. He is an adult with a functioning brain, presumably. City make the most sense for him right now.

If he was 5 years older, achieved it all, then I could question it. But, right now, if he can't see that, and his advisers don't see it, we shouldn't be worried about missing out on him.

He's been well advised so far. He had options to leave Birmingham the season before he established himself there and chose Dortmund because it was a clear path to progression. He's England's star player now as a result.

If you had Real Madrid or City as options then we're the safer and therefore more logical one to take. You'll make good money at either. He's got the best manager in the world here, a lot of recent success and players like Stones and Grealish have shown that hard work and listening to Pep improve you and you then play. We've also got a clear track record of letting players go when they want to move on. That's a huge positive if he has ambitions to play somewhere else or fears he will not get as much game time as he wants. We don't have a settled 11, we clearly need new midfield options and it makes sense to come to us rather than go to Real where I'm sure he'd succeed, but there's a bigger risk he is an outcast and ends up rotting.

I think he'll follow Haaland's route and join us here. I'm sure having Haaland and other English lads, they'll convince him.

29 minutes into this, Rodrigo Faez discusses Bellingham.

He's the first journo to really talk about City's end of the Bellingham story completely. He says "We spoke to our Man City sources over the weekend and they were shocked how Spanish media were reporting on Bellingham. They were like 'we are leading this race still'"

And then, of course, mentions what Ornstein & Stone got briefed yesterday. I'm wondering if we've perhaps told our English journos that we're still confident but not to report on it?

His City sources seemed VERY confident.

I'm sure it city's respect to dortmund and our current playing stagf
