It's Quiet the £250m return

[Cobwebcat]

I wonder if Txiki is working on the outgoings as Viana is with the squad in the states.

Maybe I’m not sure when he leaves. It must be soon.

Viana will still be dealing away wherever he is.

 

[Cobwebcat]

And Cherki

He can play there but he would be a bit wasted. Not blessed with pace but great centrally destroying low blocks.

 

[simon23]

Winger I’d have thought we are more than covered, Doku, Savinho, Foden, Bobb, McAtee can all be used there.

McAtee could be off/sold to Leverkusen - just dont think he took his chance well enough last year. ...

Foden isnt best outwide...want to see him regularly in the 10 position if he can get his head right.

Cherki can play wide both sides as well as the number 10

We may not play with wingers - we may play with wide overlapping fullbacks in Livramento (if we get him - no iea what this Wesley fella is like at all) and alt-nouri (though I think he comes inside more?)
Doku and Sav are our only true wide players....Doku is best on the left andIve heard it said that Sav is betterover there as well - Marmoush can also play wide left if needed

 

[simon23]

Well as of Monday we have 77 days of the transfer window so we might as well look forward to one more signing even if they don’t materialise.

Pep will find out a lot about his squad in the CWC…even Stones is back!

Stones is back just in time for internationals at the start of the season where he will go to it - returned injured and then that is him done again! - like clockwork

You have a point he does seem to prioritise England.

 

[King Jay]

That doesn't add up.

That’s the point

 

[Gumzy97]

Am I wrong or did we play 4-2-2-2 last season? If we continue with that then I can see Marmoush and Haaland as the two up top with Cherki and Foden as the two tens.

Reijnders and Rodri as the double pivot. In that formation that sounds dangerous. Full of control and threat with Ait Nouri going down the left

Also leaves Doku and Savio as real impact subs that can change the shape of our team if it isn't working.

Might work out more like 4-2-3-1 with Marmoush the central 10, or left of the 3 drifting in interchanging with Foden.

 

[himalayan_blues]

Right back and winger imo.

Why right back ?
We have soo many defenders and there are are at least 4/5 players (rico, akanji, khusanov, nunes, stones) who can play right back and above that they are not going anywhere.

 

[Sir peace frog]

I have my new toys in O'Reilly and Nico Gonzalez already TYVM.

I trust them and Rodri more than a braindead Kova to move the ball upfield while not turning it over!

kova braindead, you are talking shite, proper streetwise footballer, that has played at the very top level .

Because none of them are full backs. And Lewis is nowhere near good enough.

 

[Sir peace frog]

How convenient for your agenda to omit any mention of his stupid fuckup red card vs Bournemouth?

Did Pep look happy to you?

The guy is just not good enough for City.

Just because we had to play him during a shit season.. doesn't mean we rely on him for when we want a good season.

you are having a mare mate , it wasnt a fuckup he meant to stop the bournemouth player, we needed a win, that foul help us get that result , as for pep looking happy, he sometimes doesn't look happy when we've won.

 

[mexico1970]

You're going to have the "Play Lewis as a false number 9" mob on your back with comments like that ;-)

 

[mosssideblue]

Our transfer window has peaked too soon, it's virtually over as regards to new signings but what a last week it was. Going to be a boring next couple of months re incoming speculation, thankfully we have the cwc to look forward to and see the new guys possibly play some minutes

You never fail

Stones will leave, Akanji might leave, Khusanov IS a CB - just because he is fast doesn’t mean that he can play that position. Nunes is solid. Lewis is nowhere near good enough to be in any position for city. He is lucky that he is HG. AT and U21.
„ can play“ how about a specialist.

 

[Plays By Sense Of Smell]

Who’s the right back

No, who’s on first.

 

[IrishBloodEnglishHeart]

Nunes is solid.

Hahahahaha class, made me laugh. Cheers mate

Says who? The club have surely briefed Fabrizio Romano that we are on the lookout for a Right Back. If a deal is to be done, we are going to be there for a player in that position.

Heard that Viana is friends with Romano, so maybe the Livramento links are City putting out that story in an attempt to unsettle the player and force Newcastle's hand. Makes you wonder why we have gone for Cherki at 60-80 million less than what it costs to buy Wirtz/Gibbs White when we can spend 250-300 million this window without coming close to breaching PSR rules. There's still money to be spent on key positions. City aren't finished yet.

Got to be at an 8 for the window currently. Then Mahamadou Sangaré and Sverre Nypan. I assume a RB and then goalies if anyone leaves would be amazing. 10 ? Best widow ever ?

Exactly what we need and good mix of youth and experience some bargains I think.

The sales will be key and should be good also.

Walker ?
Kelvin ?
McAtee 25 + ?
Couto 25
Maximo Perrone 25
JWE ?
Isa Kabore ?

Then assume some out of Kova Gundo Grealish Bernardo ?

Probably a defender

Goalies if offers come

Will have missed a youth player or two

Does it look like Tolmie will be is right about 250 not sure what we are paying for Nypan 12 ? Guessing that’s not the full figure tho Sangara will be compo I assume ? Livramento 70 ?

250 minus 75 plus whatever we get for the ones we don’t yet have figures for so could be a lot

I try it here:

Is there any website where all sales (including revenues, including youth players, loan fees, resale shares, etc.) per season are listed? On Transfermarkt, for example, youth players are listed separately and no revenue is shown for e.g. loans, resale participations. Thank you in advance.
