Just like Toni could play for Brentford
just seems weird as Paqueta`s charge is seemingly more serious?

Sorry, that doesn't exist in football, especially if you have been linked with us!Innocent until proven guilty I would imagine.
Todd, will be right now, either formulating a complaint as to why he was allowed to play - or putting in a bid.

Has he been charged?

I agree that would be a good window!Bellingham wanted Madrid, so that was a situation out of our control.
Rice was the only strange one, and I simply never got why we made a bid that we almost certainly knew would be rejected and one we would not increase.
If we get in two of Doku, Barella, Wurtz , Barcoda, it's been a very good window.
Bernardo extending is a huge bonus.
Barcola I'm not convinced of, not because I have seen him play much but since he has less than 20 senior starts in his career and no particularly impressive underlying statistics in a league much worse than PL. Just by looking at his numbers it seems strange we would be interested in him this summer, but if we do sign him I would assume City know what they are doing, we usually do.
But I think we can forget about signing Wirtz or Barella. Attacking minded players of that level, who are also the absolute star player in their teams, teams that are counting on them this season, rarely move this late in the window unless its been a transfer story dragging out all summer meaning their clubs have been somewhat open to the idea of selling them all summer. Both Inter and Leverkusen would most likely (just my guess, I obviously dont claim to know) demand significantly more at this stage of the window than what we would consider "reasonable". I simply think its too late for us to have any realistic chances of signing any of these two this summer, if we would have started negotiations to sign them 1-2 months ago it would perhaps have been a different story. But again, I'm obviously just a dumb fan that have no idea about whats going on behind closed doors, and I would happily be wrong!
Signing big name players this late in the window is difficult and I think its a real possibility we could end up with just signing Doku!

So there's your answer then. If he's not actually been charged with anything, they're not going to prevent him from playing.not currently mate but its been being investigated since March it seems and was only made public as we were about to sign him?

City won't go near this now we have probably moved on I reckon olmo or doku and another would love wirtz but with so little time it will be tight.
