I am pretty sure you are not gonna ans it but still i want to ask
Is Zinchenko going anywhwhere?
I am pretty sure he wont go anywhere. Why would he? There are no rumors as well. His transfer changes a lot of thing in our squad. If he goes then we have to buy a quality left back which doesnt come in amount less than 60 million. That gives less money for a CF or a midfielder. Another CB we are buying anyway. So i think we will not buy a LB this season.
Heard nothing so far in terms of Zin wanting out or us even telling him he is.

Even in the highlights videos he looked very raw. Maybe he's one we will revisit later if he progresses. The club is on a bit of an u20 full back buying spree at the moment. 4 RB's already, now Caio Roque the Brazilian 18 year old LB.
You'll know better than me, but I don't see us buying a LB. Aké seems like too big a purchase to only get games when Laporte is rested or injured. I don't think they'd have spent that much on him if they didn't expect him to play alongside Laporte sometimes, and that means time at LB or a back 3. On paper he's a much better version of the Delph/Zinchenko type LB we've had so much success with.
Tend to agree, as things stand, Ake, Mendy, Cancelo and Zinchenko is more than enough, with no firm suitors for the latter two.

I'm pretty confident Zinchenko will go for a good fee after Euro 2021. He's absolutely outstanding in their side as a midfielder and they've got a good draw to play some high profile games and impress. Netherlands in the groups and then very likely either Portugal or Italy in the last 16.
He ran the show for them vs. Portugal and Serbia at the end of last year, and if he plays like that again...The perfect shop window. £30m easy.

I know it’s early days but if there was one time to go and get a player you’ve always wanted it would be now with FFP not so much an issue and prices down due to Covid.
Not seeing it quite yet. If the rumours of a 300 million kitty are correct we are going to have a lot of change particularly with the outgoings.
Would have loved to see us get Werner and Havertz and 54 million for Aouar seems a good price to me.
Watch us now panic and give 100m to Napoli!
The reports of a £300m kitty were completely knocked down to the entire Manchester pack recently.
It will likely be closer to £200m if we were to also include sales.
We've spent what, £16m so far, factoring in Sane cash?

He's content in many ways, even before you account for his fiance!

If I remember rightly he wanted paying more than the likes of Kev and SergioI'm sure he intimated he wanted to come and was surprised at our sudden non interest?

Our highest ever net spend is £220m in Pep's first season?
£200m in a market downturn, possibly City think there are still bargains to be had, I really don't know.
City aren't going to telegraph budgets to anyone, but they are very dismissive of where the £300m kitty reports came from?
£200m plus the Sane cash would certainly sound better.
