I think writz was going to play on the left of a front 3 for us so us moving for another left sided attacker makes sense. Be interesting to see if anyone picks up on this over the next few days!

I wholeheartedly agree with this, Iv been saying this since writz was off the table. Why go throw money at a player that isn’t “that” good just cause we shiny new toy? For me, fix the midfield with MGW and reindjers, get the full backs to give us the width we need and we will be much...

The German season is over isn’t it, which makes me think if he really wanted Munich then we would be hearing stuff now that he had chosen them.

It feels like the narrative in Germany is changing. I think if we secure champions league we will quickly hear he’s ours.

I think a lot of you are over thinking the Liverpool element. It’s a journalist who wants clicks, we all know if you mention Liverpool or united you’re going to get them. You can’t mention united anymore as they are a joke so he’s just flung liverpools name out. Started a frenzy and its clicks...

Sacha seems to have been ahead of this transfer all the way along. He was also ahead of the curve on reindjers so he must be getting info from someone reliable. Him reporting that were at the point of just needing a green light from writz sounds very positive, also suggesting writz won’t want...

I get the feeling city have been playing this transfer very well, making sure they are being super respectful to leverkusan, leveraging the fact they would prefer him to come to us. Which has contributed to Leverkusan being happy to drive the price up for Bayern while remaining fair to city...

Dream signing for me this lad. Him and Rodri together in a midfield would be incredible. I won’t get to excited till it’s done but he’s a game changer for us this transfer window.

My frustration with yesterday was that pep went back to the line up that won us 1 in 13 then was surprised when we played shit. Leaves me a bit nervous that he hasn’t actually learnt any lessons. He deserves the summer to fix it but if he thinks the way forward is to carry on with zero tempo...

To clarify I just meant at the time of the u17 World Cup, sancho, Hudson and Gallagher were all considered to be the future of English football. (Foden was far and away the best player in the squad so can’t compare to him) I watched the tournament and came away most impressed by Gibbs white...

I’m a big Gibbs white fan. Watched him as a kid in the u17 World Cup win and thought he was more talented than the likes of sancho, Hudson odoi and Gallagher. He also seemed to have more aggression and desire about him. I think the best teams need players like him, reminds me a bit of...

I think pep puts a lot of stock in to the Barca Academy system. He trusts that the players are going to understand what he needs from them fast. I think a 6ft 2 strong DM who is going to sit in front of the defence and just control the tempo is exactly what we need.

Iv got a close friend who’s a villa fan and he’s a big fan of Luiz. …but He did say that he’s not a holding midfielder and He’s a bit naive defensively. Seemed to think they got the best of him once Kamara got fit as he was able to sit as the holding player while luiz got forward. I’d take him...

I’d argue that makes him less reliable and actually just pushing frankfurts narrative.

Feels like and sounds like the clubs are negotiating behind the scenes a price. Frankfurt putting this out to put pressure on city to pay what they are asking.

If football manager has taught me anything you don’t even need to register u21 yr olds for the prem. So if you can find 2/3 u21s you trust enough to play then you’re absolutely laughing in terms of squad size. But yeah champions league you can only make 3 changes sadly.

From what iv seen of him I think he’s going to start as right back and become part of the back 3. Essentially doing what Akanji did in the treble season. Would either give a centre back a chance to step up or push Gvardiol higher up the pitch. Having an absolute unit that’s lightning fast...

Looking at the names we have been linked with in the last 48 hours, I’m very happy. All 3 are extremely athletic and aggressive. It could be exactly what the older boys need to give them a lift. Makes a hell of a difference to the atmosphere in the ground and on the pitch when you see a...

That’s a really good article, appreciate that. Based on reading that and a few things iv seen pep do this year I suspect he’s planning to play with a double pivot. This year kova or Gundo could play next to him if he’s doing all the running. Then next year, him and Rodri would give us serious...

I agree, also been so surprised by such a split. I think Bruno is a fantastic all round combative midfielder. A lot of talk about pace but I don’t think it’s pace that’s causing us such problems, it’s the fact we don’t win the duels for the 2nd balls which mean we turn over the ball then we’re...
