Tino Livramento

Dumfries for starters although technically he is a wing back and age is against him as a new player coming from the Serie A to the Premier League. We missed a trick with Frimpong but Nunes has earned his chance to stake a claim.
Frimpong is poor defensively like TAA. Dumfries is 30 almost. Wouldn't say either are better options.
 
Livrarmento has pace and can actually defend, that cover is needed with RAN bombing forward on the other side and who is a much more attacking minded full back. Balance is required here and this is it!
Yeah think if we can get Grealish stones or Akanji Gundo McAteer sold and loan a couple maybe we will then make our move!

Dumfies is still the more experienced player and wouldn't cost us silly money. Frimpong is a HG player and isn't worse defensively either and hasn't cost Liverpool silly money. Despite Dumfiries age can still help us and it does gives us a little wriggle room in finding a suitable player.

Dumfries is a short term plaster. Not a long term option. We did this with other players in the past. I'd rather we paid big money first time around so we didn't need to pay more money down the line for other players.
 
Dangle Grealish to Newcastle and see if Tino can come to where winners live.
Yes would be perfect deal for many reasons! Characters who don't want this lad are clueless. His pace is soooo badly needed for us at the back - it's unreal some say otherwise. Clearly haven't watched him closely and have basic understanding of what's required to be a successful again.

He is HG and a naturally good defender as any proper young full back should be with loads of space to improve with better players. Key signing will unlock some other teammates performances too . . .
 
Im not saying City should buy and im not saying Newcastle should sell,but everyone is for sale !

Yeah but the moment he turns 30 he will be shit. Did you forget that? It’s not like he can play at a top level until 33 or something. Once you hit 30 it’s over in football. There’s a major drop off from the heavens
 
If we need to get our pants pulled down by £10-15m in the short term but get 10 years out of him at a top level then so be it imo.

Probably will have to overpay but we should be confident the club can recoup the fee with player sales. Hugo ain’t fucking about.

Grealish
Mcatee
Stone or Ake or akanji
Gundo no fee but wages

if we can get £70/80 mil for those players combined, slap it down for Tino. Wages saved alone will be worth it. That £100m plus chat is nonsense and won’t happen.

Agreed and we have already shed £400,000 a week for KDB and £250,000 a week with Walker? The new signings will not be on huge wages imo so there is wiggle rooma nd we still have the likes of Doyle, Phillips, Wilson Esbrand, and possibly Kovacic who will leave? Test Newcastle with £70m plus £10m easy add ons on success and it will make them think

I have changed my mind and think this gets done. City do need to free up squad spaces, raise fees and save wage. Most likely a late window buy with MGW.

I just hope we have bought the right players. We have had that many legends recently it’s hard to keep hitting the same success rate.

Considering who is available, we have done ok so far. My issue is with the tactical set up and defending. The squad is good enough to win 9/10 games but we give away so many unnecessary goals it’s a real issue now.

Good players can look bad in a system that is just not working. If you only need legends for it to work then we are fooked.

Keep it simple, drop the defence back and stop giving up games. We will create more than enough chances to win the majority of matches.

Gundog, Jack, McAtee and Stonesy straight swap. Job done:)
 
Not ITK but got a feeling we are moving on MGW and have given up on Livramento - just think Newcastle want crazy money. Got more leverage with Forest if they want McAtee. Probably allows us to buy an overseas RB.
