Have a hard time understanding why we let Delap go, if we were expecting Alvarez to leave, without having a new Haaland understudy in our sights.
Top class first half to his Premier League season.
They can't have been sure Alvarez was going to be sold

Needs solid game time to improve after a injury hit season last year, we don't have it.Have a hard time understanding why we let Delap go, if we were expecting Alvarez to leave, without having a new Haaland understudy in our sights.

Was that not khaldoons visionI agree with this. We are only really talking about depth, but no top-drawer player is coming to sit on our bench, which is where they would be. Perhaps it's the natural progression of our team that we now have reached the point at which it is the academy players who augment the key group, rather than the need to keep buying players who act as understudies, for we cannot buy players of the highest calibre for that type of role.

Fairly simple with players at 18-21 though. they need game time to improve. Training can only take them so far. 5-10 games over a season isnt good enough to make the jump. Only the top 1% will be kept under pep.The mindset that clubs "let" everyone leave is strange

Yep the chance for us getting him is close to zero.
He will get nuclear heat from Newcastle fans if he join City this transfer windows after saying that.

We won't sign anyone, it's pretty obvious. People say that for whatever reason, Berrada was the one leaking information and that's why we are not hearing anything.
What about agents, families...they leak information all the time. That's how we knew that Alvarez was going to Atletico. If we haven't heard any specific name, then it's because there is no big signing coming. Best case scenario, we could sign someone like Akanji, but that's it. No Kimmich, no Bruno, no Wharton, no Rodrygo...there would be plenty of leaks by now.

The manager seems pretty confident that there will be no further bid for him which means that City is not going to try getting him if they know full well that the players in question is stubborn in his decision to not leave the club.
