We should be offering Cancelo or Laporte and some cash for Pedri.

You said that when we bought him

lol

Absolutely!! I think they would rather just the cash though mate? I’m sure they need it lol

If they get the cash they’ll still come looking for Cancelo on loan. We should at least try and get our retaliation in first. Besides they owe us €40m or so as it is

Is it Pedri or Gavi that's the brilliant one?

Both were hyped up majorly but it was pretty evident one of them was a case of trying to find some silver lining in the financial shitstorm. Just can never remember which one!

I think that will make some difference, but here's how many minutes they all played last season...

3856 Gundogan
3068 Mahrez
2660 Foden
2524 Alvarez

Clearly Foden and Alvarez can take up some of those minutes, but you're probably looking at an extra 2000 minutes between them (if they stay fit), compared with the nearly 7000 minutes that Gundo and Mahrez played.

I would back combined Foden and Alvarez to score more than combined Mahrez and Gundogan

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.

Loaning Palmer makes zero sense to me. He's proven useful already despite never getting a real run on the right side where he's most comfortable.

If there was one place left, and it was a choice between having Palmer or McAtee in the first team squad for next season, would you be choosing Palmer?

 

[MadchesterCity]

They can pass that €50m to us for Cancelo

Or for Torres

Yes. All day long.

Despite scoring a goal, Mcatee has hardly been able to touch the ball through two preseason halves, and when he has it's been loose. He needs another year on loan at least. This is the best team in the world. The harsh reality is that he may never be good enough for City. In fact, it's more likely that he won't be than he will be.
