2019 Summer Window - Whom do we Need ? - Whom will we Sign?

[Dax777]

Felix- 80 million
Rodrigo- 60 million

The key is not losing lots of players.

Forget Chilwell he is not as good as Zincky so we would be spending £50 million + just because he is English.
The reality is we have Mendy, Zincky, Delph, Danilo and Laporte who can play LB to decent standard but injuries stopped that, we need cover for Mendy and Zincky but not competition as that will cause disharmony , Delph is the real problem, never fit when you need him, which is why i would buy James, cheaper, faster, stronger, fitter, both footed, and more versatile than Chilwell or Delph

There are certainly a lot of stories being leaked about players considering moving on; Danilo, Mahrez, Sane, Gundogan and now Otamendi....

 

[Delphinho]

Not sure on Ndombele, watched Lyon a few times in the last couple of months & he is a top player especially breaking teams down but he isn't the best ball carrier & definately not the best passing HM.

He will be off to either Italy (Juve) or Bayern IMO.

Not seen enough of Rodri so cant comment but without doubt Lyons Aouar is a great fit for City he has the lot but mostly passing range is shit hot & that's what will break it for Pep.

Wan Bissaka will be an auction the whole top 6 appart from Liverpool will be after him. Lets hope the Pep factor can pull him in.

It looks like Nico, Danilo & unless Gundagun signs shortly then he will also be gone so those 3 could pay for De Ligt ;).

LB is still a huge problem even though Zinchenko who I gave plenty of stick to has been fantastic & deserves a new contract but we have to deal with the main problem Mendy, Pep has some serious thinking to do.

Could we see Mahrez & Chillwell swap?

So for me the below suits our shape & play better but like I said if we do get that 2 window ban from January then a forward won't be bought for 18 months can we afford that????

Out. £180m
Mahrez, Nico, Danilo, Gundagun, Mangala, Delph, Liuz, Garcia, Roberts, Harrison, Namecha L, Bravo, + more who are out on loan.

Ins £300m

LB - Chillwell 55m
RB - Wan Bissaka 45m
CB - De Ligt 70-75m
HM - Aouar £55m
AW - AM Felix £70 -75m

Aouar looks fantastic, but I personally don’t think he has the height and physicality to play as a single pivot in the PL. Would be a great Gundo replacement if we’re going to sign an attacking midfielder in the summer. Chilwell is very average though. Mendy and Zinch much better

Delph not being fit really isn't the problem. He's a liability on and off the ball.

Delph being declared fit is the problem.

 

[Larry Stranger]

Delph being declared fit is the problem.

Doesn't matter if he's fit or not he's way back in the pecking order and not needed. Zinchenko is better at playing though the press and playing as a inverted fullback like a left sided holding midfielder. He keeps the ball and recycles it better, he links well with Dave and Sterling or Sane. Zinch not the best at defending, but Delph is just as bad. Mendy not being fit is more of a problem.

He was fit last season, like KDB.
Mendy & Gundogan were also not lucky with injuries.

We are one of the best teams in Europe, we don't need a £300m+ overhaul. More than 4 or 5 first team players seems unrealistic. Usually we'd need replacements for any top players who leave, however I think we are already equipped to deal with Otamendi leaving, with 2 very talented young centre backs already at the club and needing more game time (Sandler and García). And similarly if Gündogan should leave, Foden would get more game time in his place, and Bernardo would play exclusively centrally.

Out:
Bravo <£5m
Danilo ~£20m
Nicolás Otamendi ~£25m
Eliaquim Mangala ~£5m
Fabian Delph ~£10m
Ilkay Gündogan ~£40m (only if he refuses to sign a new deal)

In:
Zack Steffen ~£8m
Aaron Wan-Bissaka ~£45m
Angeliño ~£20m
Rodri ~£60m

If, after this, we have the time and budget I'd go for a forward with world class potential (João Felix/Jadon Sancho/Moise Kean/Luka Jovic).

Promote:
Eric García
Matthew Smith
Luke Bolton
Felix Nmecha (Should Gündogan leave)
Nabil Touazi (Should we not sign another forward)

Ederson
Zack Steffen
Daniel Grimshaw

Kyle Walker
Aaron Wan-Bissaka
Luke Bolton

Aymeric Laporte
John Stones
Vincent Kompany
Eric García
Philippe Sandler

Benjamin Mendy
Angeliño
Oleksandr Zinchenko

Fernandinho
Rodri
Matthew Smith

Kevin de Bruyne
Bernardo Silva
David Silva
Ilkay Gündogan (Felix Nmecha)
Phil Foden

Raheem Sterling
Leroy Sané
Riyad Mahrez

Sergio Agüero
Gabriel Jesus
Nabil Touazi (New Forward)

I know he has made two big mistakes lately but his performances are generally good in my opinion , my problem with Delph is he does not challenge the first team players, and is always injured when the opportunity arrives either through injury or bans, Zincky does challenge Mendy and when they are doth out we use Danilo, and when Fernandiho is out we use Gundogan or even Buyrne
