It's Quiet the £250m return

[richards30]

Well Khaldoon said in his summer interview that the club knew what it needed to do to get us back to the level they know they can achieve, fair to say it’s nowhere close yet?

 

[Thaksinssoldier]

Right back is a real problem and I hope we have a name nobody knows. Something left field needed.

Do you lot even tune in to football outside England? Olise was getting Ballon d'Or shouts for parts of last season mate... 27 goal involvements in his first season at Bayern. Had to fight for his role and did so easily.

I'm not trying to discredit Mahrez. Absolute baller. Unplayable on his day. That 16/17 season with Leciester was incredible. But, people here should not discredit what Olise is doing at such a young age. We would sign him in a heart beat IMO if given the chance.

Great timing again from you lot as Olise has 2 first half goals for Bayern against Leipzig. He’s one of the world’s best players. Take off the blue tinted glasses for a moment.

He got 20g and 20a in his first season in Germany. Similar numbers to Yamal. I’d pay a blank cheque to get him. Homegrown too.

Sell

Ortega
Ederson
Akanji
Savinho
Gundogan

Bring on

Baleba
Rodrygo
Donnaruma

Baleeba would be a top signing pace power strength the 3 things we lack in midfield.even if we just got him I would be happy.

The most pressing need, and has been since Walker left, is buying a right back.
We look so exposed down our right and it's been costing us goals and points for a while now.
Sort it out Hugo!

When I said that yesterday people said we don't need a right back because we won The Treble without a left back 2 years ago (?)

 

[Master-Lotus]

that RB position is awful to look at currently. Lewis or Nunes. opponents will target us there. imagine one of them gets injured for 3 months then the other one will start each game there playing every 3 days? even if plays mediocre?

understand Livramento is too expensive, but isnt there another RB anywhere in top leagues that can be signed at around 50m who is better than Lewis or the midfielder nunes at RB? this is so hard to believe. we have one of the best scouting system in the world probably with added networks due to CFG.

Vanderson from Monaco. Young Brazilian right back, class player, only 40mil.

I'm really looking forward to his week, think there could be fireworks after peps comments

 

[Damanino]

real test for Viana is selling Phillips for a great fee. if he can do that he is a fantastic DoF.
15m or more.

quite funny he probably never had a player on the salary of Phillips before in Portugal, now he is like the 29th person in the 25 man squad , needs to be shifted.

What did Pep say ?

What did Pep say ?

Can't remember verbatim but I read that he alluded to the transfer window being open and next week will be a long week for things to happen

We really should have gone with MGW in our midfield to start with. Displays like today from Reijnders really makes you wonder why we chose a player from Serie A over a younger player that we know can handle the physicality of the PL.

Gone with a player that Forest had no intention of selling? How’s that going to work then

Mega overreaction.
Last week he was man of the match and getting praise even from the pundits who don't usually like to say anything positive about city

If we offered the same deal as for Reijnders then Forest would have had no choice but to accept as per his contract.

Perhaps but on the current balance of displays he was absolutely dominated by Spurs’ trio. I am just highlighting that for the same price there was a PL proven player available.

As per his contract he has a release clause that spurs triggered. How did that go ?

Forest clearly had bad relations with Spurs, especially as Spurs somehow let it slip they knew of the release clause. We had McAtee go the other way and easily would have struck a deal with them (should have slapped Rico into that deal).

Reijnder is a better player than. MGW

his perfofrmamce in one game where Pep was tactically outclassed by Frank and the whole 11 were out fought doesn't changed that fact.

Relations are completely irrelevant if he has a contractual clause that he can leave, so it clearly wasn't as straight forward as it seems.

I think they are relatively equal with one being younger and physically more attuned to the league.
