Could Gundogan play as the pivot?
I'd honestly don't know if he can play there. I see Gundogan as the same as Silva. He can create and find the passes to the forwards. He can also arrive in the box and finish from time to time. That's where he was playing for us when he got injured. If you look how Yaya was against pool the other day he'd probably be the same and don't know if he can defend when needed. I think we need someone like Fabinho who has pace and can get back when the ball is lost and we get countered. By looking at him looks like his passing ability is pretty decent.
 
£100m on Rose and Van Dijk would be criminal business. £70m on Isco, Henrichs, Fabinho would be excellent. One of the reasons you pay the big money for Pep because of his influence in Europe to bring in top talent, young and old. If that means £50m on Rose I'd be stunned.

I just can't see Spurs selling Rose. Why would they? Even if they did it would be a last week of August deal.
 
Tolmie posted before that we would be better spending millions on 3 from Monaco than buy messi mbappe Fabiano Mendy
Lukaku is a option if we don't get mbappe

I think we could almost buy Everton and add them to the CFG cheaper than buying Lukaku - he'll make Lescott look a bargain.
 
Unless we can turn the players head.

Would we? Is there any reason to believe he's unhappy at Spurs? I like Rose as a player, but it would be a load of hassle, we'd end up paying well over the odds and he wouldnt arrive until after the season started.
 
Think we're pretty keen on Mahmoud Dahoud too.

Manchester City and Borussia Dortmund want Mahmoud Dahoud

City or BVB: What is Dahoud doing?

Mahmoud Dahoud is one of the biggest summer destinations on the transfer market. In addition to Manchester City, Borussia Dortmund will also join in, Dahoud remains silent.

Mahmoud Dahoud is one of the most popular transfer destinations in the summer. It was only on Sunday that the interest of Manchester City became known, the next day the kicker reported that Borussia Dortmund had extended his feelers after the midfield strategist.

The 21-year-old missed a dream goal against Schalke 04 in the UEFA Europa League last season. Manchester City scouts were on the stands. Guardiola wants Dahoud for the midfield center.

OH..
 
Okay so our midfield could be Silva KDB and Isco as the number 8s with Gundogan, Fabinho and Fernandihno as the DM/pivot with brahim Diaz and Garcia as back up and played in cup games.
I don't think we will get Isco. Its just a wish on my part. :(

I think Garcia should stop being viewed as a cup player. He will be more involved next season I think.

The younger guys seem extremely talented but we have to see how they adapt.
 
I don't know about who's going to come in (it's never as easy or simple as people think) but can we all just appreciate just how weird it will be potentially having a team without Kompany, Yaya, Hart or Aguero - All them gone in such a short space of time is gonna be so weird to me as a fan, I only got into football (not just city - football in it's entirety) just as Mancini came onto the scene, seeing our spine utterly change is gonna be a first for me as a fan.
 

Yep.

If not Mbappe to replace Aguero, my hunch is us having a surprising interest in Lukaku, simply based on what he has done to us already this season.

As for the Brother's reference, Dab is again correct.

It was the Gatlin brother's singing American with a Remington - the lead signer is Larry Gatlin - the reference was Isla being in Pep's corner.

Isla St Clare was Larry Grayson's assistant on the Generation Game, a nod to us lowering the age limit.

That's right, you guessed it, we're signing Messi ;)

Hope you are right about Garcia. Do we really need Fernando? Could Garcia not simply take his squad place?
