What makes you say that
With a squad containing, Doku, Savinho, Lewis, (current) Foden.......that's some achievement.
Nobody is paying £20m for Phillips, will be lucky to get half thatI’ll have a crack at the players out:
Ederson @ £20m
Stones @ £25m
Doyle @ £20m
Perrone @ £25m
Mcatee @ £25m
Couto @ £25m
Grealish @ £35m
Nunes @ £30m
Bernardo @ £25m
Phillips @ £20m
£250m right there! Add most of them players now nil balance on the PSR sheet do all profit for bringing new players in? Add to Walkers wages off the books as well as KDB plus I imagine a raft of EDS deals players fit another £50m plus at least then not beyond the realms to do a £400m gross spend this summer if required?
“Proven level” being utter shite?There will be a market for Phillips at that price mate, lesser prem teams and even newly promoted teams will be looking for experienced players at a proven level? Just because it didn’t work out here, it doesn’t mean Phillips isn’t at a certain price point? £20m in football now is fuck all and Phillips isn’t arrogant enough to demand his current wage elsewhere?

Can see him returning to Leeds on an appearances-based deal. So given his recent seasons, in effect a free transferShite at City
Shite at West Ham
Shite at Ipswich
Proven to be shite

There are quiet a lot.Definitely losing leaders with KDB and Walker going,wonder who will get the captaincy next season..
I think most of them "could" improve us slightly.....and I'm certainly not snobby and arrogant enough (really) to dismiss the "unsexy" Gibbs-White.With a squad containing, Doku, Savinho, Lewis, (current) Foden.......that's some achievement.
Wish people would remember it’s a World Cup year, that’s why players will leave, even if it’s just a loan.We can dream But The reality is
Stones: Will not leave, We want him to leave but Why would he?
Grealish: Out on loan with city paying 50 % of his salary.
Nunes: We will be extremely lucky to get 30 m
Bernardo: He wont leave,
Phillips: Again loan with club paying most of his salary.
and i think the last time we paid anything of a salary to get a player gone was Nasri (I remember checking when it kept cropping up with Cancelo). Something we tend to get covered in the loan deal as standard.Wish people would remember it’s a World Cup year, that’s why players will leave, even if it’s just a loan.
Well we dont have fullbacks so thats got to be an improvement.My opinion on the quality of the players you mention compared to the quality of the first choice players currently in their position at city or the players you’re replacing.
We need to raise the level of our first team. Not many of those players you mention will do that.
For the past 3 years I have been told we have a "war chest" ready and are going to spend it. For the past 3 years we haven't I will believe it when I see it.
We spent £200m in January!
We spent £200m in January!
Reactive not proactive after trying to be net spend kings for the past few windows letting the squad fall apartWe spent £200m in January!
Maybe not all will be sales but there will have to be quite a number leaving (possibly quite a few on loan). Otherwise we're going to have a number of unhappy players not getting minutes.We could only make a fortune if there were buyers for all those players, but I think people are over egging how many players we will try to sell this off season
