Good sign that they are budging a bit. Really hoping this gets done, the money is too good.

Nothing to do with money :)
Alvarez and Ederson are both currently on £100k/wk.
KDB our highest earner View attachment 127572is on £400k/wk (other players as attached image)
Jorge Mendes bent us over for Cancelo - somebody whose patience wasn’t going to last an extension! Unlike Txiki
Yeah definitely the price is set now shouldnt be a penny lowerAnd watch us tell them to fuck off if they do

Great business from City.
My prediction is, we will now stick what what we have in the squad.
I can't see any more signings coming in the door this summer.
We rushed with signings last summer, particularly the Matheus Nunes signing. If we're being honest, we would have still won the league without Nunes in the squad. He didn't play an integral role at all.
I can see City not making the same mistake this time around. We will wait for the right opportunity in the transfer market.
There isn't a player that stands out as an absolute no brainer.
We will top the pot up for a Musiala or Wirtz assault next summer.
Let's hope this is the season James McAtee can take his opportunity. Would love nothing more than to see McAtee, Bobb and Rico Lewis kick on and become integral members of the squad.
Would be great to see O'Reilly get some opportunities too.

I agree it won't be the kids filling in, that was a direct response to the poster I quoted who was suggesting bobb, mcatee and savio will take Alvarez's minutes.I tend to agree but it wont be the kids taking that role. was more my point. Nor are we signing another pure 9 imo
The reality is with no replacement, it will be foden in the false 9 and we almost suffer three times over by doing that, obviously foden as a makeshift forward isn't haaland but we also lose the POTY from that 10 position and the wingers lose their effectiveness as they're no longer supplying haaland or Alvarez.
I too don't expect a replacement but I think it will be a costly decision.

I think you may be right but in my opinion we need to sign an able deputy to provide cover for RodriGreat business from City.

Punt on a Kilicsoy etc would be my move, someone who plays a natural 9, wont complain about minutes and can play elsewhere etcI agree it won't be the kids filling in, that was a direct response to the poster I quoted who was suggesting bobb, mcatee and savio will take Alvarez's minutes.

Expect Bobb to be given that CF role, he's done it before.

There absolutely no player in the market avalaible atm to be a cover for Rodri.
Even if it was, why the player in question wants to compete in same spot if he can do it in another top team where he can be the main guy not just being simply used as cover for someone else.
