Olise? Bakayoko? Nico Williams?

Nico Williams is good, but extremely similar to Doku (almost to the point you could believe they were the same player), and I think we could use something slightly different. Would be another prospect player alongside Doku and Bobb. Olise and Bakayoko look promising as well(especially the latter) but falls into the same category. I think a goal scoring LW should be the priority, not a RW

In a worst case scenario where we lose Bernardo and De Bruyne (on top of Gundo and Mahrez last summer) we’re crying out for a player that picks up lots of G&A immediately. I’d prefer to see Doku on the right again to utilize his crossing ability more effectively. Pep’s played him more on the left, but he’s looked very good on the right as well and that’s what I think his best future position is. His assist to Bernardo against Bournemouth is the perfect example of what he can do: challenge 1v1 and cross it into his box with his strong foot. His assist numbers could sky rocket from the right, and shooting wise his left foot isn’t much worse than his right foot. He was bought to play as a RW, and even though he was slightly more effective on the left last season I hope he ends up on the right. Pep do have a tendency to play players in a different position to ease them into the squad or understand the system more easily

I think out second biggest priority (after a midfielder) should be a goal scoring LW. Leao was linked to Saudi for £85m and that’s the player I would be all over. Only 24 and picked up 29 G&A for a very inconsistent AC Milan side. Almost single handedly won them the Serie A in 2022.

His ball striking technique is incredible. Vinicius is the only other winger in the world that could replicate that goal. Leao is the closest player there’s even been to Henry IMO. Pace, power, strength, finishing and dribbling, he’s got it all. I could easily see him picking up 40 G&A in all conpetitions for us. Might cost us 100m but I’d rather pay £30m extra for him than Eze who would be another squad player. Incredible player already and he’s only 24

Not sure Leao has the work rate for a pep team mate? Doku was getting bollocked last season for not running back quick enough? Wonderful player though and another Portugal player is always welcome ;-)
 
Not many players available that would be considered a statement signing for City, but Leao is one of them. What a player. Not sure he's available but money talks and we've got a lot of it. One can hope.

With him going tot the euros id imagine by the time the tournaments over he’ll cost a hell of a lot more

Hard to say if he'll play much. I imagine Mainoo might be first in the pecking order but it's a good problem to have for Southgate and whomever his successor is.

Alvarez to Milan in a deal? If Alvarez genuinely wants out then he’s a great player for using as bait?
