I think we're done in the market. Even if Bernardo, Walker leave etc, I think we plan to use Palmer, Mcatee, Lewis, Bobb to cover.
Could be a record low spend for us this summer

Not sure why you woul think that at all, except for maybe pessimism.

No

No way in hell that we have offered Bernardo a bump on his current contract, are trying so hard to keep him, say how important he is and then think we can use McAtee, Bobb and Palmer to replace him.

Another drawn out Messi job.

Don’t even bother. Every single summer posters here exercise their Academy fetish and go overboard. Yes sell Ake to Chelsea because Mbete can replace him. The reality, Ake stays, we sign Akanji on deadline day and Mbete goes on an underwhelming loan. Esbrand Wilson at this point last summer was staying as well and we ended up with Sergio Gomez instead. And so on. The reality is, Walker and Mahrez will be replaced. And Gvardiol still possibly coming in for Laporte. And the kids that stay beyond September 1st (Palmer not one of them) will have the roles they always have.

I am hopeful that we will have significant positive news today.

Most likely nothing till the lads finish pre season and sort exits. Timelines prior have never helped haha

nah better than all other posts here accepting mediocrity from our board.

I think we all forget that our owners financially invested in City. They are unlikely to accept any opinion of the financial worth of a player that conflicts with their own.

In fairness they have not done badly up to now by getting the best manager and a team of ADUG specialists to plot our on and off field growth.

100% spot on.

Some on here hugely overrate our kids, some are high class players with a great future, but many will never be good enough even for our bench.

I think the fact we are struggling to move Laporte on is slowing this transfer down. There seems to be no credible interest in Laporte anywhere.

I’m still certain this deal gets done but part of me would rather we just keep aymeric and use these funds to strengthen the midfield and wings.
