It's Quiet - a new dawn

Phew! That would be tough. I call him Heinrichs, my phone autocorrects to Heinrichs, my iPad asks me if I meant Heinrichs....

I have a simpler suggestion, could you ask him if he could get a name change? Coz that would be really helpful... Thanks :)

Hahaha I thought it was possibly an in joke I was missing out on but that makes much more sense.

I interviewed a couple of journalists recently for the podcast I do. Both of them said that they had been told by people inside City that at least one deal which fell through last summer left Pep bitterly disappointed with the player involved. The suggestion was that this was because the about-face was literally overnight and came out of nowhere for Pep and the club after the player had given his assurances that he was desperate to join. I said my guess was that it was Laporte.

My take on Laporte is that he was going to sign until he broke is ankle. Because he is young, he felt loyal to Bilbao after they looked after his recovery. Possibly said to him sign for another year and then he could go for a big fee.

How are we not linked with any keeper other than Ederson and Pickford ?

Reckon two keepers is probably enough.

It's possible but City were confident more or less 48 hours before he signed his new deal at Bilbao that he was Manchester bound. That suggests whatever happened, happened really quickly and City didn't see it coming.

Personally I'd be very very surprised if we went back for him in those circumstances.

Sky Germany saying we have made contract with Roma defender Antonio Rudiger

More like 160 with outgoings. Call it 230 if Aguero goes.

Genuine question, who do you think we'll sell and for how much?

Tosin Adarabioyo has signed a new contract, if he is going to feature more next season i don't see us buying another CB?

Ball-playing right-footed def. Member of the German NT squad. He's basically German Stones - very good with the ball, less reliable as a pure defender, not very powerful. Not sure that he's a good pair for Stones.

It would be absolute madness to not sign another CB.
