If we are relying on Ake as our third CB then it is going to be a long hard season next year. Nowhere near good enough for us, sadly. He’s the first player I would sell if we wanted to bring in some cash

It's a reasonable argument but then you have to take into account that new signings rarely hit the ground running at City.
I think last season there were plenty of our players running on empty which makes our achievements even more impressive.
Jesus is nothing like Kane as a player so don't think there should be comparisons, I'd much prefer to keep him for the other positives he brings as well as sign a dedicated number 9.

Yes,I’d prefer to keep him too, but wouldn’t worry if we don’t. Signings rarely hit the ground running but think Kane is just a scorer and would score from the chances straight in. Grealish might not ,but don’t think there is an urgency for him to, Foden and Gundogan plus KDB can play there.
Wide we Have Sterling, Mahrez, Torres ,Foden as options, and Jesus if he stays.

That lazy chip @2:15 is truly a thing of beauty.

I’m sure we will be ok whatever happens mate. :-)

You wont get an argument from many,a decent enough player but very meh at this level,and very expendable.We have some crackers on the youth horizon but,like Lavia in midfield,maybe a season too soon.

No top CB will join to be third CB. Ideal situation still would be to see Laporte stay and fight. If we enter into CB which is already filled with clubs fighting for quality CBs, it won't be a good think. We could end of with someone like £50/£60m for someone ordinary

Except the discussion was
Kane/Grealish In
Aguero/Jesus/Bernardo Out
That doesn't improve us in my opinion

how does it not? it massively improves us imo. what did aguero/jesus/bernardo do last season, exactly?

 

[himalayan_blues]

Similar feelings of goodwill towards Jesus, but simply a question of personal ambition for him now.

I think we will be watching him five years from now and seeing him have a prolific career in Spain or Italy.

Think he would be fantastic for either Madrid club.

I think his career will be spiral downwards if he leaves city.

Jesus for Dybala? Since Juve are keen on him

I think his career will be spiral downwards if he leaves city.

I think he'll thrive in Italy
