Well I don't see anyone bidding for Laporte so he'll just have to stay. But I'd keep a close eye on Callum Doyle because by the speed at which he is progressing he might be genuinely ready to take over in a years time. Immense player

Gabby leaving isn’t good not matter which striker we sign.
We can all agree we’re short up top now, so we’ll still be short if he leaves.
Definitely need to block any loan deals for Delap if he’s off.

Honestly don’t think Gabby leaving will have too great of an impact, personally always believed Jesus to be better on the wings or in a two up front rather than a lone 9 and after spending the majority of last season watching from the sidelines despite being our only available ‘striker’ I think if Kane was to be out we’d get by just fine playing a false 9.

Think were at a stage now that Jesus leaving is the best move for both him and City, hes never going to cement a starting position across any of the front three positions with the talent we currently have, he’s clearly not happy with his position in the squad and who can blame him? He’d start for a lot of Europe’s top sides. He’s still young so should bring in a sizeable fee

Agree that keeping Delap around the first team would be wise however, unless Pep honestly doesn’t seem him ready to play a role in the prem, in which case i think getting some experience playing in the men’s game would be good for a year.

Rather than sell him I mean and not get a big fee, rather see if he could make a break through away from us and either return or get us a decent price.

I get your logic, but we need Jesus next season more than in the future as we’re light up front.

If his agent can’t find a suitable buyer, then he stays here and rotates with Kane, hopefully.

Yeah I said in the other thread, whatever you think of him he's the one of the three named that isn't playing in a heavily stacked position. (And with Kane moving to LB...)

But I guess Pep might say he'd rather slug it out without players that don't want to be here. Which I would understand.

I guess we'll see.
 
Barcelona are predicting a €483m loss this season.

If we offered a swap for either Bernardo or Rodri plus a little bit of cash for De Jong could they even refuse?

I think they can't register new players. Wasn't that the issue with Messi?

I get the feeling that Pep basically tells unhappy players to find their own deals with other clubs that are agreeable with City when it comes to a fee.

I think that all “3 unhappy players” know deep down that they can’t make a deal that City would be happy with.

One has to be moved on if Kane comes. The sad news for our unhappy players is that we hold the cards as to who we choose to leave.

I’d say Laporte is our first choice if Sandler is deemed to be ready. Bernardo second and Jesus last.

Yeah I largely agree. Although given Bernardo is the one that seems most eager to leave and has been for over a year apparently I think it's fair to let him go first.

True. I guess the only other variable is how bad the deals we have been shown are.

Laporte or Bernardo for £40m.

Who goes?
