Bung £100m on the Bayern table and test the waters for Olise before trying for Semenyo.
We should have gone all guns blazing for Olise before Bayern swept him up.

I think we would have done, but we thought we had the next Ronaldinho in Savio.
Savio should have stayed at Girona for one more season, but I feel the club were so desperate to prove everyone the CFG model works.
Don’t think he has any interest in joining us.We should have gone all guns blazing for Olise before Bayern swept him up.

He’s played on the right wing nearly as often as he has the left this season and in his career.Unless the plan is to move him to the right and move on from one of Savinho and Bobb, I don't see where he fits.
Great player, just not sure who we would move on from to make this work.

He’s actually scored more from the right in a couple of fewer games.

Bobb and Savinho are too early in their development - despite their age - to be first choice here at the moment.

And would be off to Afcon, is it Jan, no?
Why loan out squad players? We always need squad players for the squad. We loan them out and they’d need replacing as squad players so we’d have to buy at least two players instead of buying the one starter and keeping them as squad players.They should be loaned then.
City are not a team that can wait around hoping a player becomes good.
Look at Sane in his second season at 21 years old:

14 goals and 19 assists.
If you are going to be brining in project players, that's the level they have to be at when playing for club like ours.
If we are going down the road of persisting with Bobbs and Savinhos for 2, 3 years and hoping they become good, we might as well call ourselves Manchester Hotspurs.
He's homegrown, which gives us more wiggle room. The question I would have is whether he can do it against more packed defences. Maybe he doesn't need to with our new style of play. It seems like a no brainer tbh.He looks very good I’d have him but we haven’t got the room in the squad! For me now premier players who are doing it looking quality are far better bet to buy than any league in Europe the standard is so poor compared to the premier
Have you seen the state of the other wingers. Doku and Semenyo capable of playing across the front line.I don’t think he is better than Doku, so why waste money?
