It would be nearly a perfect window if we could add players like Kvarahelia or Szoboszlai to the mix.If we get Gvardiol and Rice in addition to Kovacic, will that be our window done then? Not complaining if it is just curious.
I don't think scoring goals has ever been or will ever be a problem for a Pep managed team...JMOGundo and Bernardo to Kovacic and Rice.... We've lost about 15 goals a season in one hit.
Phillips and Gundo for Kovacic and Rice I could JUST about live with.
If we lose Bernardo we absolutely have to replace him with a goalscoring AM.
I think this is going to move quickly. West Ham already sorting out Rice's replacement.
They've been looking for his replacement anyways so this means nothing really. I also see West Ham asking for Phillips on loan or buying if Rice comes to City. They want two mids.

We are so light on numbers to start with, I would think we would have to replace any outgoing with an incoming.
No one said or suggest Bernardo's replacement relates to Kovacic and Rice. Bernardo has been mostly playing as a winger, so that sale warrants a winger signing.Gundo and Bernardo to Kovacic and Rice.... We've lost about 15 goals a season in one hit.

Second that. Gvardiol + Kovacic + Rice and one of the two above and we are sorted.It would be nearly a perfect window if we could add players like Kvarahelia or Szoboszlai to the mix.
How about we wait 9 years and then compare Gundo and Rice. Chances are we'll still rate Gundo, but comparing one to the other now is meaningless...just saying.I don't see Bernardo SIlva leaving unless PSG find the cash. I don't rate Rice that highly (defintely not a patch on Gundogan) but fair enough for meeting West Ham's valuation

yeah but what about the restaurantsThis "wants to stay in London" angle was always laughable. It'll literally be two hours down the M1 for him. He wouldn't be relocating to Timbuktu.
How about we keep Laporte and loan out Gomez instead. Back 4 + 4 of Dias, Stones, Gvardiol, Walker, Ake, Akanji, Laporte and Rico...how's that for the old 2 at every spot : )Yea I’ve a feeling it’ll be a loan
He didn't seem to mind Liverpool receiving £150m for Coutinho five and a half years ago.
Also, he does realize that the main reason the best foreign players and managers come to England in the first place is because we pay the highest wages doesn't he?
Exactly. He's a fucking hypocrite I can't stand the ****. Sky should have shunted him when they had the chance

Kinda mental that the Arsenal fans argument is basically
Man City : won the CL recently, won the PL recently (multiple times), literally just won the treble, work under Pep, multiple teammates for his country, play with some of the most exciting young players in the world, play with the best midfielder in the world.
Arsenal: stay in london

prime Gundogan is 150/200 million though he's just let contract run downI don't see Bernardo SIlva leaving unless PSG find the cash. I don't rate Rice that highly (defintely not a patch on Gundogan) but fair enough for meeting West Ham's valuation

Arsenal fans are surprising arrogant for a Club that hasn't won the league in 20 years. I really think they are deluded. They are a tier 2 European Club, that is the cold hard reality.Kinda mental that the Arsenal fans argument is basically

well KDB is missing the first month or two of the season if indeed his hamstring has snapped? Gundo gone, Bernardo maybe as well so i think Kovacic and Rice are starters with Foden wide right and Grealish left.
I think fodens days as a winger are done, mate. Bernardo leaving now looks unlikely unless Enrique really pushes for those 80m.well KDB is missing the first month or two of the season if indeed his hamstring has snapped?

The thing is that if either Rice or Rodri were injury prone then yeah he should stay but they aren’t they play the most minutes in a season so it’s not looking good for him.Phillips is probably off if Rice comes. Loan or permanent.
Plus, Lewis and Kovacic can fill those spots if needed, same as Stones... there is zero need for him then.The thing is that if either Rice or Rodri were injury prone then yeah he should stay but they aren’t they play the most minutes in a season so it’s not looking good for him.
