It's Quiet 18 - Wanna ring the bell?

not overly fussed since we won everything, but that said, am still shocked at the overall lack of movement, in or out, this summer with just 2 weeks until the PL begins. Bit of a head scratcher. Don't think it helps matters that we've spent our entire pre-season halfway around the world, either.

The Gvardiol one is baffling mate as we could be sat here with Bellingham or Rice and Kovacic here yet Gvardiol was deemed as a priority target and we never got Bellingham or Rice? We have sold a load of youngsters for good money so far and just sold Mahrez yet are seemingly haggling at £5-10m for Josko?

We've spent 2 weeks away, doubt it's made the slightest difference to our transfers.Except made it more beneficial for Gvardiol to stay with Leipzig until we get back.

and dont need Cancelo whatsoever.

They have played Kounde at right back. They most definitely do. Sergi Roberto and Sergino Dest is shocking for CL aspirations. But that said they can stay at the level they are to be fair. Already owe us money.

if you read the news surrounding gvardiol its all payment structure related not fee related. It will get done according to most journos.

Hopefully it gets sorted in the next few days then so when the lads get back Josko can join the group and get ready for the new season

While you commend City's transfer policy of not overspending on a player, sometimes you just have to pay what the selling team wants. Every player is overpriced in today's market, so if we're going by that we'd never sign anyone. I think City are just going to have to stump up this 85m for Gvardiol or miss out on him altogether. I feel for him in this as it seems he's desperate to join us

I think we're absolutely swimming in cash at present, shitloads of prize money last season, negative net spend for the last five seasons etc. Obviously we've a big court case coming at some point and the North Stand redevelopment so maybe that's restricting our spending somewhat

[burnley blue mcfc]

Palmer is set to leave on loan and both Bernardo and Phil will be needed in the middle. We're thin on both sides.

I'd yard Gomez to Burnley, personally.

The amount of players vinny’s signing for burnley I doubt they’ve any room left for Gomez!!
