Players who might improve us

Thoughts on Kalvin Phillips - looks like a potentially good holding midfielder replacement for Dinho.

ticks a lot of the boxes that Pep sees in a player re mobility and comfortable receiving the ball etc

Very good, feel he may be a bit like Grealish though and give a good few years service to Leeds.

I think we will exercise our clause for Douglas Luiz.

I have watched Tierney playing for Arsenal with quite a bit of interest, following his move from Celtic. He has looked really good in games I have watched.

Wasn't sure why we didn't show any interest - perhaps thought he stood out in a weak league .

And he's not a **** unlike Robertson who is one snidey arrogant bastard with the dippers .

I think he has spent quite a bit of time out injured since joining Arsenal - he does look good but the last thing we need is another sicknote left back.
 
Tete from Shaktar. Pacy brazilian dribbler. Would be a good option for us, and suit the way we should play. Seen a lot of comparisions with Robben
 
Bennacer looked class against Celtic. Theo Hernandez also looked pretty good. I would like to see both at City, especially Hernandez

Nice to see Brahim Diaz get a goal too, looks like he’s improving in Milan
 
Podence and Aouar, or Calhonoglu, for the midfield.
Hernandez for the left back slot.
Simeone as a reserve forward.Wild card pick.:-)
 
We could do a lot worse than Wjinaldum at Liverpool?

I believe he is out of contract next summer and Klopp has been on a full-on charm offensive without much luck so far.

He gets about the midfield well, a big physical presence and is quite underrated in terms of his technical ability.

Only issue is him being 30, but we signed Fern at 29 and a defensive midfielder, certainly in our team, requires a level of maturity and nous.

Put it this way, it would be worth it just to see another Klopp meltdown.

They've stolen enough from us in recent seasons!!

Great shout, would be a good signing but I reckon hes off to Barca. Their finances are fucked but them getting Garcia and Wjinaldum on a free would help the netspend.

Pity we can't find a very serious virus for their next attack.

Yes, I saw Barca were heavily into him from the summer.

If nothing else, it suggests he would have no problem playing our brand either?

Maybe Ake can have a word in his ear.

If he's available on a free, we could pay him decent enough wages and keep him in the North West.

I think he would be a great pick up as you say, I wonder if perhaps the club would want to put what I presume will be a 3/4yr contract on the table for a 30yr old. Fernandinho of course joined a similar age and has been superb for us but perhaps we need to bite the bullet and find someone who could be here 10yrs.

I guess it depends how we think the money needs to spent, in my dreams if we could sign Haaland for 100m perhaps we need to try for Wijnaldum as we have no money left but if we dont go big on Haaland then maybe we would go 40m or so for Bennacer etc.

Not a bad shout that. And for free, revenge for Milner!

He’s more a box to box than a sitter but would be good for tight away games where we need extra protection

Podence is an immense player - I'd pay Wolves as much as they ask for him.

I mentioned this lad in the Wolves thread, he looks like he may develop into a very good player, a kind of third rate Messi (which is actually a massive compliment btw lol).
 
Rather than waiting a season or more to source a foreign superstar to come and replace Sergio at great cost of course, why not make a cheeky bid for young Mr Armstrong at Blackburn in January. He is a goalscorer unlike our other apparent strikers. I think he would score a fair few in our team.
