It's Quiet - a new dawn

[razman]

Fabinho?

Mendy?

 

[mosssideblue]

Bravo will be 2nd choice and still play in the cups. I'm not so happy with that

Don't bet on that. I suspect Bravo will be #1

Agreed

He had better spend the summer trying to catch footballs with his hands though

By my reckoning, if Attacker, LB, CB and DM are overseas signings then our overseas squad is full. Only goalkeeper position needs to be filled with homegrown (hence Pickford) Any other solution involves moving on either Kolorov and/or not renewing YaYa and replacing with HG. Are we in for a HG left back? Does Delph stay and take our final HG spot in place of keeping Yaya?
Possible HG-
Walker
Stones
Sterling
Delph/Pickford

This is why I see Pickford as out better GK option.

Could Roberts not be one of the HG players?

Only 20 so no need to be registered in full squad I believe.

And gunn

 

[Hart of the Matter]

And gunn

Gunn is club trained (we can add 4 of them without taking up a HG spot.)

The only other way round it is if the new cb replaces Otamendi , If it was Kolarov it leaves us short on left back cover at least Kolarov can cover cb and lb.

It's keeping to the 17 non homegrown that is the problem, whether we have 3 or 4 home grown is irrelevant,and if it's more than 4 they come off the 17 anyway. I think all of those that qualify as club trained will be u21 anyway so don't need to be registered.

Looked through a couple of pages not sure if this is new news, secured and completed after their cup final Ederson

 

[cityzennn93:20]

Silva done yesterday, Ederson done today, txiki is on a roll !!!

I agree it is a possible solution but not a good one if we want to strengthen.
What is important however is than if we move much beyond our suspected targets then some existing 'big' names will be out of the door.
Bravo
Mendy
Otto
New CB -
Kompany
Kolorov
Fern
Fabhino
Yaya
Dundogan
Silva
Bernardo
KDB
Jesus

Sane
Kun
Sanchez/ebappe (Pep says we need a striker)

17 overseas squad players ( so if overseas GK comes in - one has to leave)

 

[ADegenerate]

Hell yeah! I was fine with Pickford but prefered Ederson tbh. Whoever was mentioning the smokescreen with pickford made a Good call!

Well you can knock Sterling off for a start as he's not overseas. You didn't have Fernando on your list and I hope that he's not here next year.

I'm completely ignorant on these matters, but why does Sterling count as overseas?

Oops! My mistake... I blame the hot weather!!
Meant to include a new CB - only linked with overseas as far as I can see.

 

[razman]

wait on ederson , if the milan keeper is available ?

Multiple reports #ACMilan threaten to drop Gianluigi Donnarumma for a year without new deal http://www.football-italia.net/103206/milan-set-donnarumma-ultimatum … #MCFC #MUFC

Twitter has been awfully silent. Doesn't look like we'll be announcing any more signings over the weekend after all the hue and cry. Next week looks promising though.
