Players who might improve us

We need a player like Van de Ven. We get caught out too much on the counter attack and we don't seem to be able to fix that issue. I like Van de Ven a lot, it is such a pity he is a Spurs player. I can't see us going for him.

He was well known before he joined Spurs, but City passed the opportunity
 
Such a shame, because he would have made our defence solid, counter attack resistance, the counter attack which is our achilles heel.
If we continue to play such a high line how could he alone miraculously make our defence solid and impervious to counter attack?

(Genuine question, I'm not just being sarcastic!)
 
We could argue this all night


Cole Palmer: "Initially, I didn’t want to leave Man City. I said I would go on loan & play for a year so I was ready for 1st team football more because I didn’t play a lot of minutes [last season]. But then, Guardiola said 'you’re either staying or you’re getting sold'. And, so yeah, I got sold."​

Our worst mistake
 
I'd break the bank for van de ven. In Peps hands he's potentially walker 2.0. Would be near impossible to get from Spurs though. Ships sailed.

One player that may potentially be available from Spurs though is Bissouma. Seems to be down the pecking order at the minute, if he were to be available in Jan, he could be a decent DM option for us. Knows the league, athletic and can quicken our otherwise slow midfield and you'd like to think would be more susceptible to picking up Peps tactics quickly given he's played at Brighton and Spurs who both try and copy us.

Because he is probably the fastest Epl player and defender. His pace will save us and he is a very intelligent defender, always in good positions, knows how to break up play. He brings physical presence and assurity to our forever shaky defense. He is just playing under a manager(Postecoglou) who does not really utilise him to his strengths. Also because Walker has fallen off. Because our Defenders are injury prone and some are aging and many more things I can go on and on about!
