Maybe Bale, that would go down well with Spuds. Seen elsewhere suggestions that Mbappe will be guaranteed playing time by ZZ because one of their top players is leaving (Morata - thing is i dont see him as a top player) hence the only other player is Bale. Isnt it fun?

Bale is injured half the time anyway.

If Morata leaves, Mbappe is guaranteed plenty of games.

Tbf Isco is keeping Bale out, would the kid not replace Benzema, with possibly him going to the Arsé?

We've done a brilliant job in the transfer mkt so far if we can wrap up the Alves and Mendy deals but if a jewel is about to become available in Mbappe, or a high profile casualty like Bale at Real Madrid, then someone else might now be in a better place to take advantage.

City are reportedly confident about Sanchez, but our forward line is already incredibly strong. The achilles heel remains the defence. We should be ready to pounce on VVD or Bonucci - even if it means passing up on Sanchez.

I reckon Aubameyang is finally going to move this Summer. Arsenal, Liverpool or Utd could be possible destinations

Probably more than we think. If Arsenal are putting €100m bids in for players like Mbappe, as rumored, then their fans will be less fussed about losing a player like Sanchez.

As soon as its known Mbappe is signing for Madrid and they have no chance, they are more likely to play hard ball with us for Sanchez.

Also, if they 'think' they have a chance of Mbappe, they will be thinking of using the money we give them to sign him.

Do Arsenal or their fans really think Mbeppe is rolling up their with no CL football and a club that hasn't shown any real ambition for a decade ?

My take on Tolmie post is Arsenal are buying a Madrid player to replace Sanchez. Suggesting they have privately accepted Sanchez is off.

Madrid have told us to step out of Mbappe race as Sanchez on way

This must be it. James to Arsenal, Mbappe to Real and Sanchez comes to us.

Would love arsenal to get morata but more likely James Rodriguez

Would be surprised if they sign both mate....rumours are that they are going all out for VVD

After frequent links to City in 2017, Southampton defender Virgil van Dijk is getting close to joining Chelsea in a £60m deal. [@DiMarzio]

Were we ever really in for VVD or was it a way of us hiking up the price and then switching to Bonucci?

 

[Easy]

Maybe wishful thinking but...Are we expecting any more signings over the next day or so? The guy that tweeted:

I think Sam from goal said we have shown interest but CB wasnt at the top of our shopping list....

Agree with this, Sanchez you can put in the same bracket as Aguero but Mbappe is not even close to that level although has great potential.

Sanchez and Kun are in the same tier although they are different types. Kun better goalscorer but hardly ever assists. Alexis provides plenty of assists.

For my money there is a couple of levels above both.

Ronaldo Messi
Suarez Neymar and very soon Gabriel Jesus and maybe Mbappe
