It's Quiet the £250m return

[Xhavenjoe]

Sorry dad :) Seriously though, you can’t plan for players that MIGHT get injured

Its ok son.
I think you can plan though , if they have a history

Ederson is looking increasingly likely to leave. Even if one of Akanji/Gundogan remain, I can see Reis & Echeverri going out on loan, which frees up the space we need for a right back.

There’s 32 players on that list. We need to reduce that by 7 for Pep to have the small squad he wants. Even then I think he’ll still want less but the question is whether the new DoF agrees. Having to satisfy the HG factor makes people forget that.
The 7 would be from: Walker, Phillips. McAtee, Eddie, Grealish, Ake, Stones, Akanji, Khusanov, Reis, Echeverri. The last three would be loaned out.

Khusanov isn't getting loaned out. No chance. That would leave us with no depth especially if Stones, Ake and Akanji can't stay fit.

True. But injury prone players are obviously hard to shift on no matter how good they are.

It doesn’t, we’d still need one more to leave.

Any combination of these will leave in one way or another Ederson, Ortega, Ake, Stones, Nunes, Phillips, Kova, Gundo, Akanji, Grealish, Mcatee

My list is just candidates. I agree I wouldn’t loan him but Pep, having initially praised him, suddenly did not pick him.

He’s just going to have to be realistic isn’t he? He’s had the big bag for a few years and if he was getting £200,000 a week say it’s hardly boo hoo money?

He was never worth the salary or the fee. Why do we have to pay such high salaries to players who are only interested in coming here or renewing their contracts? Mind-boggling! This is Manchester City we are talking about :-)

Costa and Trafford?

Costa and Trafford

Sounds scripted. There’s chevalier available + donnarumma still has a year left.
60M for a goalkeeper sounds like typical Porto fleece. If we didn’t learn we will learn now. Costa has been nothing special the last 2 years

 

[Blue_Lightsaber]

Costa and Trafford?

That makes no sense. We need to clear foreign players rather than add more.

Probably just Porto trying to up his price!

Looks like it, yep

Costa and Trafford?

When Trafford was linked to Newcastle they did say he will compete with there number one goalie so maybe we do buy Costa as well!

Seems weird though we going to pay 100m combined for the two!

 

[Cheadle_hulmeBlue]

100m on two goalkeepers makes no sense. Why would Trafford come to city to sit on the bench as well. Having essentially two first choice keepers never works out

I wouldn’t be surprised if Trafford turned us down if this is true. Also Costa isn’t worth 60m

It’s a bit different competing with pope, who’s ageing and on his way out compared to competing against a 60m signing. He wouldn’t leave Burnley if that was the case

If we losing two goalies our 1&2 who do we get Trafford which is still a gamble even though he looks now he has improved massively of over the last two years! Should our other goalie be average so Trafford don’t get threatened with his place? Team like us now the best team in last ten years don’t do that!

Be interesting if it’s true or not though
