What does long term transfer target actually mean?

He’s the new de Rossi or Isco?

Probably just means a guy we are actively scouting. We of course scout a lot of guys.

Unless I need to go to SpecSavers, not one City lad there.

Begin with the first name on the list…

Apparently, we are not bidding this summer. We might miss out on him.

He has less than 20 PL games. There could be another few Whartons on the market next year. Archie Gray is one of them

That's impressive from Perrone.

Our young players out on loan seem to get lost in all the transfer talk.

I'd like to think that Perrone, McAtee, Couto, C. Doyle etc will all get a chance to prove themselves first, before we go spending on someone elses up and coming younsters.

Don’t think Couto stands a chance. McAtee did himself no favors with the loan to Sheffield United. Think he’s behind both Foden and Bobb (and Kev of course if he stays) for that attacking mid role. Sadly think McAtee will leave permanently. Perrone needs another loan I think, preferably a mid table PL side. Very promising player but not ready to play for City just yet. His aim should be to replace Kovacic next summer or the summer after that.

With Gomez leaving and Rico now considered a midfielder we’re left with only 6 defenders for 4 spots. We could definitely use another CB, and Callum has done very well for 2 seasons in the championship. I suspect he’d maybe like to play more regularly though

They will all want to play, but we can't offer that to all, bar the very best.

I just hope they all get a chance in pre-season that's all.

Is Gomez leaving? i must've missed that.

Nothing confirmed, but I would assume he leaves, barely played all season

We should have signed him when he was at Blackburn. I think he would really suit our side and has the potential to be a top player.

Think it was a better move for the young lad to go to someone at Palace's level.
He has played regularly in the Premier League, with a new manager who has clearly put his faith in him.
If City had signed him, how many games this season would he have started ?
Kovacic has been excellent for City and is very, very experienced.
Would Pep have played him in front of Kovacic ?
