It's Quiet 18 - Wanna ring the bell?

we should try and tempt Brighton with a £150m bid for Mac Allister and Caidedo

Unless Philips is a part ex.....We don't need Caicedo.

Maybe Brighton would want Phillips but there is still the rumours of West Ham and Villa wanting him? Again though, can we have Rodri and Caicedo in the same squad?

IF AND ITS A BIG IF this is in anyway true it’d be pretty interesting to see if city would sell to arsenal again and also I’m not sure how I’d feel- ideally wouldn’t strengthen a rival but at the same time if they’ll pay the asking price and city want gone..for some reason I could see this move

Be some queue to drive him from Manchester to North London, maybe a direct flight from Munich would be tidier?

We can,but Caicedo will have to accept his playing time will halve.

City briefing nothing new.

They have also (like Haaland) been cautious to always play down our chances and always cite Real Madrid.

As of today, no Madrid bid, no discussions with Dortmund, just the claims from Madrid sources.

City haven't pulled out.

hmm?

Funny how these rumours started on the day of a big game for us. Intresting to see if they continue today and Friday or will it go quiet till Saturday morning then next Tuesday morning??

As has been said we arent done until our journos say so.
No one has agreed with dortmund so how can a dortmund journo know we’ve pulled out unless hes bullshitting. If he wasnt we’d know pretty soon from the other journos.
Full expectation of still being in the race and sitting quietly until the end of the season.

Other hand, given we beat madrid to haaland, they may really not want that to happen again this summer so whilst i dont think they need him, their ego may be what forces them to go big here

Frenkie is the midfielder we need

Yes, but need one or two more to go with him

Gundog and Silva possibly their last season and with KDB looking like he's starting to struggle 40+ games, risk is having to rely on unproven Philips, Palmer, Perrone to go with a Rodri, Frenkie core if KDB not playing

None of this makes much sense to me. City supposedly pulling out because Real and player have agreed some terms, even though Real apparently will be offering 50 million less than Dortmund want?

Even if that was true, City wouldn't be walking away. Surely we would be leaving a bigger offer to Dortmund to at least make Real pay more, or to make them keep Bellingham for another year and then sell for 50 million less next year if they want to.

Graham Hunter on Talksport saying nothing in the Madrid papers and they’re very cautious, all coming from the Barca press in Spain. Definitely nothing agreed and feels City are still in with a chance and Dortmund briefing snippets to drive price. I really thought he’d fancy the PL now but I suppose time on his side & have to accept Madrid are the dream for most players.
