Barco is a very different player from Estupinan. Tim Vickery thinks Barco is going to play in an attacking position at Brighton, as a left winger. He could very well be molded into a Mitoma type of player, rather than a standard LB, cover for Estupinan.

It looks like a versatile cover for both Mitoma (LWB, LW, LM) and Estupinan (LB).

You may very well be correct. It does fit our reported plan, which is to be no senior player signings in January.

They are technically gifted enough to adapt very well and play any attacking positions other than what they are currently playing in. If we can get Tino, it would be ideal since he can play left back as well.

Yeah, RM gets 50% of this sale. It looks like his agents, agents of sponsors/La Liga media are desperate to make money out of the sale to EPL since he is not good enough for Real or Barca. They tried with Manure. What happened to that? For the right side we have Doku, Foden, Bernie, Bobb &...

Fati is so injury-prone. Gavi or Pedri would be nice, but I don't think either will be sold. It looks like Raphinha could be available. I'm not suggesting we consider him, mind.

Why not? Probably we aren't interest in him. Just curious.

We signed Doku to replace Mahrez. Doku used to play as a right winger.

Just because we didn't get any speculations/rumours out in public, it doesn't mean we weren't prepared. City should have a list of targets and will try to sign a decent CDM in January if he departs.

Don't know what City standards are nowadays. As a potential signing I would be interested in Caylan Vickers.

For a signing of a right winger, we should seriously look at Savio, though Pep may try to avoid recruiting anyone from Girona. (Of course, not suggesting to consider for Jan.)

Why do we need one in Jan.? We signed Doku, although it looks like he is injury-prone. I'm inclined to think what we need is an athletic DM with decent height and physique with game intelligence.

Doku wasn't our primary target, was he? Not sure if he is classified as a "class" buy. Potentially, he can be, but at this stage he is rather limited. More concern is that I suspect he is injury-prone. Not sure if he could withstand a rigor of PL.

Do you mean Joao Palhinha? I like the idea. He is tall and an experienced PL player. We should avoid getting more lightweights at all cost.

Sorry, you still don't make sense. Could you please give us a more logical explanation of what you are saying without making a biased, emotional take, e.g. why we needed Doku, and why it was Jack who had to be replaced so early in the 2nd half? You know nobody has suggested he was "the worst...

What do you mean by this?

"Chelsea, Manchester City, Manchester United and Newcastle United all sent representatives to watch Napoli's 22-year-old Georgia winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia during their 3-1 defeat by Spain on Sunday. (90min)" If true, it looks like Napoli are happy to sell him next summer.

It's been rumoured that ManU is looking at him to replace Sancho. Not sure if this rumour stands as Leao predominantly plays left. We could go for him if we are considering a proper winger/forward, instead of getting another mediocre squad player.

For Brighton he is not a forward, but a winger/midfield playmaker usually staying more in the WB position, taking on defensive duties as well. Undoubtedly, he does have technique and quality to score quality goals. With the way Brighton play and their crazy De Zerbi who seems unable to start and...

It looks like he is a top target for Barcelona. A credible Spanish source indicates his style of play has attracted many coaching staff in Spain since his performances in the World Cup.
