Players who might improve us

Is this the level we are stopping to now?

He comes across very arrogant, would be bad for the dressing room.

He's not exactly young and he's not a Pep player.

Off the ball he's quite lazy.

Not for me. He's an Aston Villa signing... Not a Manchester City signing.

Agreed

Would take Eze though
 
In my ideal world we would get Gvardiol and Pavard as well as bringing in someone like Wirtz as an extra midfield body and Kevin understudy and Coman for the wing.
 
I always thought Jules Kounde was a very good fit as a replacement for Walker, not sure how his season went though as would’ve thought he’d be quite integral to their team. Due to the fact they are skint and owe us pennies…….we could offer Bernardo, Cancelo and get FDJ and Kounde in return with no money owing!!! Might be a tad complicated though!!!

You are 100% correct Tony.

This is Manchester City. The Treble winners. The 3 times Premier League Champions in a row. The Centurions. The Domestic Treble winners.

Zaha isn't anywhere near our level. Talented? Yes. Does he have the correct mentality and personality for our team? Not in a million years.
 
It's too bad Xavi Simonds is back at PSG although it would probably stop them signing Bernardo Silva for another season.

Your misunderstanding….Do I think Zaha best player available on the market, no……but I meant it in the likelihood that if Mahrez goes we very likely aren’t going to spend anything to replace him. Zaha on a free fills that squad space with Pace, trickery, goal threat and prem experience. Similar to what we’d lose in Mahrez from the bench.

Leaving us with Palmer and Bobb as the 2nd choice options on that side is dangerous imo.

But anyway as many people do in here carry on with the football manager type suggestions that we know are never going to happen.

I dont mind zaha and think he could potentially be a good squad option but he wouldn’t be able to replace mahrez as zaha plays from the left mainly. Also whilst I like zaha he is no where near the level of mahrez imo
 
It's always going to be hard to find any player who will improve us. It's practically impossible really!

However, I've love to see Gnonto from Leeds at City. He's brilliant to watch, full of tricks and skills. He might not be good enough, I've not idea, but he does get you up off your seat when he sets off with the ball. He's a fantastic player with a lot of potential ahead of him.

He’s right footed though mate and has played on the right for Ivory Coast mainly so potential to do a job.

I do agree he’s no where near Mahrez’s level but it was just a suggestion pretty much based on the fact he’s a free agent soon.
 
In a way I feel a bit sorry for Zaha. He's a VERY good player but will always been tainted by what happened at United. How many players who were "on the up" went there in the last 10 years and died? Zaha, Maguire, Sanchez, Sancho, Fred, Di Maria, Pogba, Depay, Lukaku, van de Beek, Wan Bissaka, Bailly, Rojo, Martial etc etc. Put Pep in charge of them players and they'd be 2nd behind us!

He's a great player in a team that rely on him to keep them up. He's Palace's best player by far and I'd be surprised if he doesn't end up somewhere towards the top of the league.

Is he good enough for us? I don't think so but I wouldn't be unhappy if we got him.

I think he will end up going abroad though.
 
Leon Goretzka but we aren't desperately needing midfield reinforcements. Zaha is laughable but still just about get that with Mahrez heading out.

Zaha is 30 years of age.

Why would we target a player at this age when the sensible thing to do would be A) buy someone younger with bags of potential B) Give one of our younger players a chance.

I wouldn't want to sign a player like Zaha if it meant Oscar Bobb or James McAtee will eventually be sold without getting a chance.

If we are to bring someone in, they have to be worthy of a spot in our team. I don't just want us filling a space in the squad for the sake of it.

This isn't a Manchester City signing, it's just not how we operate. This is a West Ham, Everton type of signing.

Pep doesn't want bad eggs either. Zaha comes across a right muppet. Very dislikeable character.
