Ousmane Dembélé

[I'm no cynic but...]

Assuming we get Alves and Mendy, that takes us to 16 foreign spots, leaving 1 space for Sanchez/alternative, we can't accommodate two more foreign attackers in the squad without selling. And that's already assuming players like Fernando are gone. We don't have any wiggle room in terms of getting rid of extra defenders or midfielders so we'd have to get rid of a forward and none of Sergio, Jesus or Sane are going anywhere.

This little fact is often forgotten in the dreamy months of summer.

Hence the need for Walker and Bertrand as Association trained players.

Getting 2 attackers (Alexis and Dembele) would mean curtains for Aguero even without squad restrictions. Just like buying a new CB would force Ota or Kola to leave immediately.

So you dont want us to be an elite club like our owners do?

I don't even know how to comment your drivel.

We keep Aguero we need as many world class players as possible to be in the same bracket as the Madrid's Bayern and Barcelona dont you agree with that?

Bernardo > Navas
Dembele > Nolito
Sanchez > Nacho

Don't see Aguero going anywhere??

Why was it drivel? Perfectly reasonable opinion to hold.

Aguero, Sane, Sterling, Alexis, Jesus, Dembele is too much. Sane, Jesus and Dembele simply cannot be benched, young talents should play as much as possible. Besides, we have KdB who'll probably play in the attacking trio too (I see B.Silva as 8). 7 players for 3 spots! Too many, don't you think so? Besides, it's impossible to have them all because of the foreign spots restrictions, as @ninjamonkey rightly mentioned.

That I don't want to see City among the best? Next time I'll be accused of being a 'rag'.
