Nope haha but I have full trust in Pep. The only players I'm sure are coming that have been rumoured so far are Ederson and Fabinho and both will bring improvement.

What suggestions? The media has linked us to a plethora of players, including half of Monaco's outfield, and continue to float new names every day. Tolmie has linked us to YouTube videos and has mentioned only two players by name, Dahoud and Carvalho.
It's still ridiculously early to be considering any of them joining. Our requirements could well be different in a month, let alone two.
Sit back, enjoy the speculation, but don't take any of it too seriously.
Except Ederson Moraes. He's so ours.
Rose, Carvalho etc, underwhelming names

We have threads open where City are linked to Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappe (and most of his Monaco squadmates,) Paulo Dybala and Isco, if you want some names that should impress.
According to Tolmie, we are getting minimum 8 new players this summer and a few names like Rose and Carvalho, neither even close to nailed on, don't jeopardise that in the slightest.

Ederson, Van Dijk, Henrichs, LB (Rose?), Fabinho, Isco, Douglas Costa.

Carvalho would be a good signing for pivot role
Strong and tall which is very handy for the premier league
Good technique
Decent passser
He's a bit of a busquets light with similar attributes
Better option than some clowns suggesting that we buy Isco or Barkley and play them in this role

I'd rather have Coman. But good hall.Ederson, Van Dijk, Henrichs, LB (Rose?), Fabinho, Isco, Douglas Costa.
Wow wow wow mate, you didn't have to go insulting me now :-)Carvalho would be a good signing for pivot role

Yes, I want Isco. I think he'll play the 8 just fine or the Pivot. So would Gundogan and David Silva.
For fuck sake most didn't think Yaya could do it until he did.
Yup I said it. David Silva is the next Pirlo.

Day, been telling my dad that all season. With the full backs joining him in midfield he wouldn't have to do much tackling but no one would ever get the ball off our def again

They are very unrealistic targets though, rose & Carvalho arentWe have threads open where City are linked to Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappe (and most of his Monaco squadmates,) Paulo Dybala and Isco, if you want some names that should impress.

Is this a legit target? Never heard of him
Plays for Oxford United,was reported by the Sun today.....his Wiki says he's a winger,The Sun say he's a full back.
Pretty sure everyone is posting about him in jest.

Alex Sandro, we should have just fucking paid the release clause or whatever ffs
Everyone always says this until my suggestion is tried and it works marvelously.Thank Christ you're not calling the shots
I bet 15 years ago the idea of Pirlo as a pivot would have sounded crazy to you.
I'm an outside the box thinker. I'm.not even that edgy. I just follow what what their talents are already hinting at.
Silva will be a great Pivot. Come back and apologize when it happens :-)
Did people even refer to the 'Pivot' as a position years ago?Everyone always says this until my suggestion is tried and it works marvelously.

in actual fact you are a football genius who chooses to hide in plain sight, imparting your venerable wisdom in the blue moon transfer forum...

What's wrong with Carvalho? I know it's the done thing to talk down potential signings, plenty thought Sane was average and wouldn't make an impact at City before he signed, but Carvalho is a solid upgrade on what we have and Sporting have said they'd let him go for £20million. That's a bargain in today's market.
Meanwhile, we will be in on likely 7 more players for the first team including a keeper (Moraes), minimum three defenders, a striker and more midfielders for squad depth. Not every one of those signings was going to be north of £40 million.
I'd rather sign an Arsenal player again than get someone from Portugal again, they're just not up to it. Either of them.

I think Silva is capable of that role, he's better on the ball than Pirlo, just his passing isn't quite on the same level.
