Over in liverpool you mean? Yes I'd be a bit concerned if I was them.

In part maybe due to lack of media coverage of Manchester City. We just do the deals and then they get reported but I thought we'd make a serious effort to plug our defence this Summer. When you think of some of the Premier League games (Norwich) the FA Cup, and the way Pep over-reacted to our defensive flaws by changing his tactics in the Champions League, I thought we'd see at least two defensive additions (particularly given that Garcia is half way out the door).

I reckon it's very likely this is pep's last season. That's why city don't want to spend big.
There is still time left in the transfer window though. Let's see

We will.Ake was one that covers Laporte and left back, we'll sign a centre back.

Don't think it is, but even if it was it wouldn't impact who we buy.

It's a case of trying to move on a couple of fringe players which is proving difficult. I think we will still see at least 2 out 2 in before the window closes.

That is what I was assuming too but I'm getting impatient. Every transfer is a little risky but Koulibaly feels made to solve City's defensive problems. I just don't see why we risk so much to save £2-3m. Unless a player is like Sane or garcia and approaching the end of their contract, a club like City just has to bite the bullet and pay the fee.
