Nunes seems the most likely makeweight, although not convinced he’d actually get into their starting XI. £50m + Nunes would be a good deal for us, and help Newcastle with any imminent PSR issues.

Makes sense for all parties, doesn't it? Eddie Howe openly said that they had to sell to satisfy PSR requirements, but they can do so here without reducing their squad size. Nunes isn't a bad player but he isn't good enough for us. Newcastle would obviously see him as a downgrade on Guimaraes, but will see his versatility as being useful. Nunes himself probably sees more time on the field at Newcastle than he does at City.
 
Hope we get Bruno G asap but lets be honest, Newcastle arent going to want one of our cast off players are they? It will be a bigger name imo, that the club may have to give up to get this done.
 
Spanish press saying that Ancelotti wanted Samuel Ricci. But Florentino wasn't so keen.
And that his likely destination is City or Liverpool.
They also mention that Tchouameni is not happy being played at the back.

Newcastle need to satisfy PSR. They bought a 4th choice keeper in the summer from Forest for about 20m. It's how it goes.

We buy Bruno for 100m. They pay 100m for Nunes and McAtee.

Possibly mate but he may not want to go and his wages will be a problem i imagine. Could be Kovacic, Stones, Mcatee or even Bobb as Newcastle will be well aware that they will have to calm the fans if Bruno leaves?

Wouldn't want to see Bobb leave and letting a serviceable midfielder leave as in Kovacic wouldn't make much sense.

Agree about the wages part. But I don't think Newcastle will be concerned with assuaging the fans as Howe has made it totally clear that it's out of the board's hands. Their ire will be directed more towards the Premier League.

I would riot if Bobb was part of the exchange.

Bobb leaving would be worse than Palmer. I think Palmer is a brilliant player and it was a mistake to sell him, but there's always an argument about his suitability for a side like City. Bobb, on the other hand, is absolutely cut out for us. He is tailor-made for the type of football we play and can operate in tight positions. Bobb cannot leave.

I think Nunes is the most likely one. They get a replacement, and Nunes style of play is probably more suited to Newcastles system than ours. Could see him being useful there. He might not be a City level player but players like Longstaff and Willock are getting minutes regularly in their midfield.

If there is anything in this at all. Tolmie has been talking about us being interested in Bruno G before and us being interested in buying doesn't necessarily mean Newcastle is being interested in selling their star man in midfield.

Do they? A de-facto straight swap McAtee and Nunes for Bruno G sounds very geared toward Man City.

Your taking Newcastle for mugs if you think they would do that.

Bobb should be protected like an endangered species.

Howe has spoken about it at length.

How is it a swap, they are getting 50m and two players for Bruno.

Well the mugs paid 20m for a keeper they don't need to then receive 30+ for Anderson from Forest.

From what I've seen, Newcastle fans seem to be resigned to having to sell either Bruno or Isak, and would much prefer to keep the striker

They're also not entirely convinced he's suited to defensive midfield and is better in a more advanced role

Here's hoping they're talking bollocks about the latter :)
