Peps Targets

[blueparrot]

agree...will see a max of 4 signings, the rest will be made up of promoted EDS lads

Minimum 5. Three midfield, left back and centre back. Maybe a keeper and wide right forward as well in my opinion.

I think our major transfer business is already agreed and done Karen and that's why links to certain players are coming out. Txiki works a window ahead in theory normally but knowing pep was coming and with the euros being on and other comps around the world I think for major incomings we will be pretty much done already

I think so too i just see posters replacing half the team and i don't see that happening.I will be a prisoner in the transfer forum ,you need to get practising posting gifs,we need more than you managed last year lol

that is true, and I could read that in possibly 2 transfers in regards to news. Gundogan, and Pogba, hasn't he bought his images rights so he can move smoothly in the summer !!

Haha I was a gif virgin last year! Will make more of an effort this summer ;-)

they will appeal it like Barca did and it will be postponed which allows them to buy players before the ban comes in

All their business will be done before any ban is implemented,IMO....Barca style.

They already appealed in January. They are now waiting for FIFA to make a determination on the appeal, and depending on how long that takes, will be able to use the transfer market.

Ohhh they'll make a decision around about 3rd or 4th September,nothing so sure of that,IMO.

I think that's unlikely if we're after top class signings. There's no reason why their clubs would agree a deal now when they can have an auction in the summer. Drag it out and wait for City to make the inevitable 3rd offer. We might do a quick deal if there special circumstances, A player in dispute with his club like Sterling, or a cheap release clause (Delph) or a club that's skint (Silva). But that's unlikely to be the case with the players we're supposed to be chasing. Most of the transfers will follow a similar timeline to De Bruyne. Until we walk away from deals for over-priced players we'll be seen as a soft touch in the transfer market.

We have special circumstances. His name is Pep Guardiola

Even if they did impose the ban before the window, they can appeal to Court of Arbitration For Sport and it will be suspended again pending a decision.
