It's Quiet the £250m return

Kova is going nowhere - he's injured and recovering from an op so no one is coming in to buy him.
Akanji looks to be on the way whether to Palace or abroad.
Ortega - reckon someone comes in last minute for him and chances their arm and he will go
Phillips....tea lady!
Gundo - rumours we are going to help him leave by cancelling the last year of his contract.
There is also Ederson - dont want him to go but if he is set on leaving there is nothing we can do

I know what Pep has continually said but I think he does need a bigger squad...look at what happens with injuries...one or two especially in key areas (Rodri, Stones) and we are short of quality

I do think you are right in that the rebuild will take longer. Ive got no expectations for this season at all other than trying to make sure we get top 4 - id love it to be different but my feelings are that we are going to find it difficult.
I have the exact same feeling. Our rebuild will take one more Summer and this season we'll try to get top 3 again.
 
I just think Nunes should be the back up on both sides. Rico? Just don't see him ever being a viable RB at our level.

Honestly mate I think that's harsh. He's had his bad moments but just to survive playing right back at 19 or 20 playing for a huge team is impressive.

There's obviously a bit of Pep that sees another lahm or alves in him (and we have to acknowledge he's ahead of them in his development, in terms of the level he's playing at). I'm not guaranteeing it by any means but we should see exactly what a 22 or 23 year old Lewis is yet. Which is why I imagine he got the extension.

I'd suggest he go out on loan or sold with a buyback. It's a big ask for us to afford him the time he needs to fully develop. I'm not trying to be harsh toward Rico, just pragmatic. I will give him his props for always being there when called upon but as a RB at our level he's in over his head.
 
On Livramento. Newcastle are keen to open contract negotiations but as of yet nothing has happened.

Newcastle are desperate for him to sign a new long term contract.

City watch closely.
It’d be funny if they funded their striker purchases by selling us Livramento and keeping Isak.

We could even throw in Nunes as a swap.
 
Mmmmmm.

States a lot of the obvious. Donnarumma will happen if Ederson leaves, everyone knows. Imo full of ××××
‘States the obvious’

like recently telling people here watch Akanji & Gundo?

Then reports come in, a week later both are dropped from the squad.

Very obvious wasn’t it.

Feel free to check the timeline.

Blue, thank you for the information. It’s been passed in good faith and most are grateful on here for anyone willing to share what info they do have.

Keep posting the snippets.
It helps during the cold, winter nights, otherwise known as May to August.
