It's Quiet 18 - Wanna ring the bell?

I remember the Enciso rumours. He could be the mysterious Brighton player we are looking at. It would make sense as well, with his versatility and talent.

Would arguably make more sense than Mitoma.

Similar to Cucurella, what players are worth is irrelevant & it's more a case of what teams are willing to pay. We'd be lucky to get him for £50m & walk away when that gets rejected.

I'm fairly confident £50m could be enough. He only has 2 years left on his deal. He's just turned 26 as opposed to Caicedo who's 20. They have a lot of cover in those wide attacking areas. And they want Palmer.

Would he maybe suit us then?

Yep haha.

Think its a lot of money for a player who in my opinion is no better than Palmer, its just that he's playing regularly in a side that has some very good players but not world class. He can play right wing but is predominantly a left winger.
I'm not one for bringing Leroy back, but think he would be more adaptable on the right.

For me, Mitoma has been one of the best wingers in the league.
6th most creative player in the PL last season, having created 1.49 chances per 90 minutes. 7 goals, 5 assists in 33 games. 96th percentile for successful dribbles as well, so that puts him as one of the very best dribblers. Palmer is leagues below as it stands, IMO.

Would that mean Bernardo plays wide all the time and Caicedo tried more advanced?

Yeah I would say so mate.

City won the treble

A thing of beauty!

Yes we won the treble. Still can’t believe it.

Come on city.

seeing as how Cucurella negotiations went after a good season, there’s no way they demand anything less than north of £80m for an attacking player, managed to squeeze £60m + for a left back so it’s set a bad precedent.

 

[richards30]

Yeah I would say so mate.

Would you still do a winger though or would you declare on Caicedo with Bernardo and Foden wide options backed up by Bobb?

Sadly, I think you are spot on. They aren’t in need of the cash and probably stacking up the squad for European football too. I think City gotta look elsewhere or be prepare to spend loads
