It's Quiet 18 - Wanna ring the bell?

We for sure need an established winger. You can't compete for virtually every trophy like we do and have no experienced back up to Silva on the wing.

Dembele to Barca leaves Barcola away from PSG. I think we can work with something here.

Foden to compete for either wing spot it seems. With rotation offered by Bobb and Alvarez. Can’t see it any other way.

Mahrez and Gundogan contributed 44 g/a between them last season. Playing Phil in the middle isn't compensating for that, we need a wide player with goals in their game.

IMO Phil will only play middle whilst Kev is out. I imagine he will be on the right when everyone is fit and is more than capable of adding Mahrez g/a tally and then some

Yeah he wasn’t a prolific goal scorer but in all comps last season he got 26 G/A. Still a considerable number to lose

Those goals are easily replaced by Foden and Alvarez having additional game time, not sure why everyone is panicking

'Everyone' isn't

Does that really make us stronger than sticking with Bobb for example? If we're going into the market surely it should be for a ready made replacement in their prime. Based on how highly the youngsters (Lewis/Mcatee/Bobb) are rated - a signing like Barcola seems pretty pointless to me.

Dembele going to PSG, so Bernardo seems off the table for them. Only worry now is Barca, but apparently they're only getting €25m out of the Dembele deal. So I'm skeptical that they can afford him.

Maybe they can take Cancelo off us now, though.

Whats there net spend last 3 seasons thats where ffp come into it

:) Not short of cash Madrid. The fact they have been pulling levers that have now been disallowed for FFP is neither here nor there.

If we need a skilful winger who can play either flank and also stay with us long term then why not? He’s right footed, and already played senior football unlike ours, also neither Oscar or Palmer can play on the left far as I know. Definitely one to keep an eye on imo. I’m not sure which experienced wingers on the market aside Sané (which I honestly doubt can happen) can work for us and are actually attainable?
