We only have a couple of days if we wanted him, I don’t think we do, but let’s just pray.

No club is ready to pay €70m for him it seems.

Article written in April. It looks a decent list.
Rice notably absent. Some getting long in the tooth. Parejo not a player I'm familiar with.

Where the fuck are Liverpool fitting in Szoboszlai? Salah, Diaz, Nunez, Gakpo, Jota.. one/two of those must be off if true.

Salah to City lol?

BOOM!

 

[Gaz76]

Did we get Kovacic yet?

It's funny how this sort of shite comes up every year, and then when you bugger off for two weeks to Wimbledon the transfer forum goes to shit as nobody else has a pot of glue what's going on

Someone link us to someone anyone… it’s only fair. I need a transfer fix not necessarily a purchase just a good ole BM transfer brouhaha

 

[MadchesterCity]

Literally, I honestly felt bad for him when he was starting cup games. Wish we could just go all in for Kimmich. They could use the money to fund their Kane transfer, and there’s been rumors he wants out. Would be absolute perfection and he’s miles better than Rice. Doubt they’ll refuse the same 90 mill we offered West Ham

Just sign Kane rather than spunk money on Rice

 

[MadchesterCity]

Disagree. We've got 4 in it. No one's going to argue with Modric, Kimmich, de Jong, Pedri, Bellingham, Gavi etc

Anyway my point was who wasn't in the list.

Pogba

I think we already know this few months back but for whatever reason we didn't go for him.

So i doubt our club rates him.

Ya man. I just need a taste.

 

[M12Blue]

How about Sam Sung?

As a Phillips replacement obviously.

Oh brother

Don't get me wrong, i think our recruitment is good, but not without flaws. How many managers other than Pep would have won the league with Gundogan as our top scorer? Same with the full-back situation...where Pep has continued to find solutions (Delph, Zinchenko, Ake, AKanji etc...). This is what i meant.

imho there's none better so good but without flaws is very harsh. Liverpool for a bit were flawless but that wasn't sustained. Madrid are doing well but they have big inbuilt advantages over City.

Just as Pep's management isn't flawless, it's an impossible standard to expect it to be perfect at all times.

We are the Internet and we demand gratification!!!

Oh my god.

 

[Phil1]

Might as well disband the club and we can all get on with supporting someone else.
It was fun while it lasted...

 

[FatedBlue77]

Highly likely these are pep's final 2 years. Assistants leaving left and right.

 

[JWCH-99]

Oh my god.

Gonna be no one left- just pep and like 12 players

Chicken Little likes this thread.

 

[DMA's]

Oh my god.

Can whoever is last out turn off the lights

 

[sd33]

Oh my god.

thats why juanma is bringing his assistant with him

I wonder if we're far enough down the list of targets that Pep might just tell Txiki to hold off for now, and reassess after pre-season.

Gives him a chance to try out his midfield options. Right now we have a lot of young players on the fringes who may just be ready for the breakthrough. It's a massive opportunity for McAtee, for example, to show Pep that he doesn't need to sign a young creative midfielder, or for Palmer to stake his claim as the Mahrez replacement (if he goes to Saudi Arabia).

Would also be useful for him to test out Phillips and Kovacic, and Phil in the middle.
