Nathan Ake

My bad wording. Meant to put we, in our present position. The wording should read maximum of 17 foreign players. The A and B lists are the confusing parts of the rules.

Fair enough, the whole thing is a minefield

Sell him for £60M. Bring Tarkowski for free.

Tarkowski has no idea what to do with the ball. Terrible ball player, but HE CAN DEFEND, SO HE IS GOOD. Amazing idea. This is how top club itw works.

I can understand fans fears that at this moment in time it looks like we'll have no players left, with all this media transfer nonsense. I might be completely wrong here but there's no way we'll sell more first team players than we'll actually bring in. So far it's two in, zero out, but that will change in the next few days.
I'm guessing five in, three out. In- Haaland, Alvarez, Phillips, Cucurella, Ortega. Out- Jesus, Sterling, Ake

But in reality it’s not three out, it’s five out - Fernandinho and (if we bring in Ortega) Steffen will also be leaving.

Five in - five out.

Leaves us with a better balance to the squad given we’ll have an actual left back and a proper centre forward for the first time in years - but does leave us one lighter at CB.

If we sell him would we give Itakura a shout? Seems linked to some decent clubs.

Mbette as signed a new deal this week.
Hopefully this lad can develop to give us cover.
He looks like a star in the making

Have we envisaged that he who shall not be named gets off? Doesn’t appear likely, granted but there’s a number of variables attached to that which could impact directly!

they'll still terminate the contract and pay him off. only a year left, bite the bullet and release him.

Do you think that player who has previously played for Groningen and Schalke 04 (2. Bundesliga level) and City has bought to make some profit is on Man City's level?

Jesus - I’d actually forgotten he even existed for a minute there.

I mean, I think it’s safe to say he’ll never play for us again - whether he gets off or not.

But I guess we’re stuck with his wages for another year whilst the case works it’s way through all the legal back and forth - which clearly has an impact.
