Need to get back our £40m that we bought Phillips with he’s been a shocking signing. Gets injured which I’m wasn’t that annoyed about but when he doesn’t come back early from the World Cup after hardly playing, and even worse he comes back overweight he has embarrassed us. One thing we needed was to give Rodri a rest and now we are in the same situation as last season where he has to play every game cause pep doesn’t trust him. Get ridWest Ham would have money and need a player like Phillips.
Possible re Perroni but even economically it would make sense to buy with the 40m.
Foden will move towards the middle it appears.
Robinson has 12 months on his contract come June so he won’t be that much.
Why should we keep a 32 going on 33 year old player who’s performances have been on a downfall just because he can be a future coach for the Eds. Instead bring in some fresh legs and let him go to Europe where he would start for most teams, he’s been a great servant for city but we can be too loyal at times that’s why I don’t understand us offering a new contract for a declining player.One thing that makes me feel he could be staying is the actual work he's been doing behind the scenes with the coaching
Gundagun wants to be a manager so another year with City then maybe academy or u18's with a place on Peps team?
It's one of those, he probably has 2 years at the top if he pushes but at City he has so many pathways to his next job I suppose??
Reckon the fees on Bernardo and cancelo could possibly be lowered to £50m caused we will just want to get rid.Out:
* Phillips - £40m
* Bernardo - £60m
* Laporte - £50m
* Cancelo - £60m
* Delap/McAtee/Doyle - £35m
* other EDS stars - £30m
Total - £265m
In:
* Bellingham - £130m
* Lavia - £40m
* Leao/Mitoma/Gnonto - £80m
* Robinson - £20m
* Gvardiol/a LB - £50-90m
Total - £330-370m
A bit unlikely it seems but would be an incredible summer.

I don’t understand why we don’t get two left backs if we go and get chilwell for £35m and go for Guerreiro for a free, we also need to try and bring in two wingers one in either side. The other incoming I agree with just Robinson I don’t rate. Hope Lavia wants to come back if we offer him the chance though.
Your fear is that we cant spend more money on shiny new toys. Christ.I fear that the charge by PL will have a tremendous impact on our transfer plans this summer.
In what sense? I completely agree on a players side it’s going to take a little more convincing, clauses of champs or relegation…….. can be put in (if needed ;)). If anything city will be spending big now before a potential transfer ban, might go bigger. But I don’t think it would affect who city want? At least we know since 2018 we’ve definitely been clean!I fear that the charge by PL will have a tremendous impact on our transfer plans this summer.

Completely right, not wants important right now and not a fear to me personally, think we all need to calm down a little.
