Our Missing team

[Cityfan]

Since Guardiola came to City there have been a number of players who it looks like we made very serious attempts to sign and were either refused or outbid.

How would this team have fared this season?


Ter Stegen

Jonny Evans Maguire Koulibally Cucurella

Fred Jorginho Pogba

Sanchez Ronaldo Messi

Subs:
Kane
De Jong
Bellingham

Any notable exceptions ? I can't remember too many right backs that we were clealy after but in Peps new mode of playing a centre half at full back I have put the great JFE in there.

We tried for Mbappe.

Don't forget Isco! A few shudders when I read some of those names again - Pogba, Koulibally, Ronaldo, Maguire etc. Were we serious or just hiking the price at the swamp for some of those? Messi was never coming here surely.

I’d be disappointed in the bald fraud if we weren’t in for Zinedine Cleverley

Terrible team. The back four is a nightmare.
Some of those were effectively vetoed by Txiki and/or Soriano as too expensive, viz: Maguire, Sanchez. Sanchez caused a bit of a rift and Khaldoon had to come and persuade Pep to back off. Pep accepted this, thank god.

Kane starts over Ronaldo

Was that since Pep came?

Yep, think he'd gone to Madrid when Pep arrived - Van Dyck is my replacement ;)

Just checked. The links were during the Holistic One's time. Not on Pep's watch.
