Players who might improve us

Pukki has 4 goals already for Norwich
Might be worth keeping an eye on him for back up striker role
 
Sane -> Sancho

Otamendi -> Dias/Upamecano

David Silva -> Ceballos/Aouar/Soler/Maddison/Bruno Fernandes, cos in my opinion Foden is too young.

Foden will never be ready until he gets the chance to prove it. Signing another young CM will be a nail in the coffin to his career at City now that Gundogan has signed on long term.

Some of our fans wax lyrical about using the academy, but then talk about signing £50m players for depth.
 
If Sane goes, Sancho is the obvious choice.

However, if we can't secure him and Crystal Palace end up getting relegated, landing Zaha on a cut price deal would be a good move. Excellent player that's pining for a big move and CP will have no option but to sell if they drop down into the Championship.

Definitely not worth the price they were quoting this summer, but get him for around £40m plus add ons and he'd be worth it in my opinion and frees up a foreign spot in the team.
 
Ferro at Benfica has something about him. I know it's just the Portuguese leave and you've got to take that into account but he appears to have all the right attributes for a pep centre back.
 
Foden is ready. He's not sticking around to be 5th choice if we sign a replacement for Silva, he would start for a lot of good teams.
Yeah my assumption is that Bernardo/Foden will be taking Dave's place. We don't need another left footed, slow but highly technical advanced midfielder at this point, it'll just crowd out Foden.

We do need someone with genuine pace to replace Sane though if he goes and others have said, it would seem like Sancho is the obvious choice. Sane returns to Germany and Sancho returns in England.
 
We along with a lot of other clubs are watching 16 year old Eduardo Carnavinga played for Rennes against PSG, he did well i did not know he was 16 at the time and he still caught the eye, he has good movement and knows how to get involved in the game, could be the next Pogba but with more team work

Tbf, we are linked with him so probably the wrong thread. Maybe he deserves his own?
 
I have a City supporting cousin who lives in Edinburgh. He is a good judge of a player and he insists that Aaron Hickey the 17 year old left back at Hearts is a future superstar. The word up there is that City and Celtic are showing a lot of interest in Hickey. It is felt that we are loaning Ryotaro Meshino to the Jambos to get in their good books. I for one will now be watching "Sportscene" on the i Player to have a look at both Hickey and Meshino.

If Sané ends up leaving next season could Leon Bailey be a good shout to replace him? Was a few rumours about him in the past (before Mahrez) and talks of Bayern looking at him instead of sane, not seen an awful lot of him but could add that little something different that Sané also offers? Also he’s supposedly good friends with Raz.
 
Jonathan Tah, Kai Havertz, Jadon Sancho. Don't know why I've chosen 3 Bundesliga players but that'd be an incredible window if we pulled it off.

Kai Havertz is Bayern bound. Refused to sign new contract and coming to Munich next year for free. Usual German rags business.
 
The more I watch him the more I can imagine Grealish being moulded into a Firmino false nine type of player. I believe the more measured, cautious setup we used last season twice away at Spurs & at Anfield is close to being the perfect approach for us in the champions league, it just needs a more cerebral forward to knit the play together. Alternatively Depay seems to have improved considerably since leaving Utd, was impressed with his elusive performances against us.
