I'm sure a guy like Fernandinho would do a better recruitment job than our asleep-at-the-wheel board. Spending €80m on a backup is just stupid when his compatriot Conceição would do the job for €50m.

If Echeverri finally steps up, I really believe in his potential. It'll end up being a great, bargain piece of business. Maza won't leave this summer, and next year I doubt he goes for anything under €80m

Leverkusen's sporting director, Simon Rolfes, made it crystal clear that Maza is not for sale. Having signed last year, he's established himself as an undisputed starter and is a key part of Leverkusen's project. I really doubt he leaves this summer.

I reckon we could literally call this organized crime

That’s spot on, it’s a win-win deal. Vini could actually win the Ballon d'Or at City, whereas at Real it's all about Mbappé now

I don't think it'll be an issue for Haaland to be honest. He's not the ego-driven type Cristiano was. With Vini's 20M€ demand taking him about £1.5m ahead of Haaland, I think Erling would comfortably accept being on the second-highest wage, especially given how small the gap is

It’s definitely because of Mbappé. Real Madrid broke their traditional 50/50 image rights split to sign him, giving him around 80%. Vini's team naturally sees that and wants a similar arrangement now.

Vini is demanding more than his current 50% share of image rights at Real

We can definitely afford it, especially this year with the departures of Stones, Bernie, Akanji, and Aké, which freed up a huge chunk of the wage bill. Plus, Grealish will almost certainly be gone as well (heading back to Aston Villa, or off to Atlético or Saudi Arabia), offloading another...

inutile ce jeune n'a pas le niveau

My priorities for this window: 1.Keep Rodri (absolute priority) 2.Vinícius 3.Goalscoring midfielder 4.RB

Ideally, we’d have both Vini and a midfielder who can score

With our new midfielders, we’ll be better on the ball, but more importantly off it. What cost us last season was mainly our defensive transitions and our inability to hold onto a lead. We’re going to be much stronger in possession and we’ll suffer less defensively thanks to these signings...

Seeing our rivals go after Vini while we're targeting Neto makes my blood boil. It should be the exact opposite. Signing Chelsea players in 2026, WTF?? I have zero doubts about Maresca tactically, but does he actually have the stature to manage a massive club and build a side that destroys...

i speak about PL

Enzo F still has more goals in 2025/26 than Neto's last two seasons combined, which is honestly embarrassing for Neto. That’s our main issue—what is Neto actually going to bring us over Semenyo? We shouldn't be signing squad players, we need players who make a real impact. And Enzo is way better...

I also hope we won't wait too long to make a move. In my opinion, he definitely wants to stay at Real because it's his home, and Perez is like a second father to him. But since Mbappé arrived, things aren't the same anymore. My guess is he won't extend his contract this summer, he'll stay at...

Where are these rumors coming from claiming the club doesn't want to disrupt its wage structure for Vinícius, especially when he’s reportedly asking for less than Haaland? On top of that, offloading Stones, Bernardo, Aké, and Akanji alone would free up around £46.1m in annual wages

The board absolutely needs to make a statement in this transfer window for City's rebuild after two tough years. Since the board unanimously chose Maresca, they need to put him in the best possible position as a welcome 'gift' and a sign that we want to build trust, giving him proven players to...

Foden and Reijnders need to step up their game fast because they have to contribute to the attack. Three players can't carry all our team's goals (Haaland, Semenyo, and Doku aren't the MSN). Luckily, we still have a month left in the transfer window to turn things around. And worst-case...
