Well surely you can see that a £300m spend is plausible if we're already approaching £200m before the end of July? I think we all find inflationary fees obscene, but your initial post suggested that not hitting £300m was something of an anti-climax. Apologies if misconstrued, but I can't help but feel that sometimes you're contrary for the sake of it.
Isn't Sané our only left winger right now as Nolito has left?
I expect Pep to get a left wing man.
Sanchez would be a perfect fit on that position and on top he is a goal scorer with a superb winning mentality.
And it's an opportunity given his contract expiry next year.
But Sanchez is not a man for the bench. He certainly wouldn't want to "share" workload with Leroy who needs game time as well.
IF Sanchez joins PSG - which doesn't make much sense for him expect Paris being beautiful - another 222m word class left winger certainly won't join.
Or Draxler would have to leave immediately...
What about Neymar to PSG and Sanchez to Barca?
Anyway, I expect a left winger for City, as well as a left back (plus Mendy) and a CB - if Mangala won't stay. Imo.
That's it, you don't know because you answered itI don't know, didn't sound like Danilo was a plan B, just that it went tits up, and Pep made a decision. Sam Lee said the club had barely looked at him compared to a normal transfer target and that it's completely a pep purchase.
Does that count as a plan B? I always assumed our plan B's would be just as thoroughly researched as the main targets.
No it is not. We had that attack from January last year and won nothing.If we don't sign him we should hang on to Iheanacho.
Agueru, Jesus and Iheanacho is more than potent enough goals wise.
I cant understand some of the flapping in here. Even if this is true and you do miss out on Sanchez, it's not make or break. You've got the right back position sorted, the left back will be next, and you've added a top creative player in Silva. You have a guaranteed goal scorer in Aguero, and a potential superstar in Jesus for a full season. Meanwhile we could be about to lose our best player. I know who's position I'd rather be in.
If we don't end up with Sanchez, then we will need a proven striker capable of around 20 goals per season. The question is who.
If we can solve that little conundrum and fill the centre half position I think we are set.
