Hard to NOT see City taking that deal (€80M), esp given we are struggling with squad size and we have cover.
He threatens to be a world beater, but he isn’t…yet! That’s a big price to pay for a maybe, but Spurs and Frank are desperate to not make Ange’s sacking look like a big mistake. No silverware this season for Spurs and Ange will be able to point and say, “See, not so easy, is it!!”
City have the cover on the wings at present, so it feels like a deal that could be made IF City want the money. I think they will. This is becoming an increasingly big business and the squad will REQUIRE another significant refresh next season, so bank it and start scouting for the talent today.
We have enough young CBs, we'll need another midfielder or two, dunno about forward positions. So, the expected refresh might not be significant.
A goalie, if Ederson stays, and 1-2 midfielders.
Nypan and Echeverri might be back, though, so 1 top midfielder will be needed to replace Bernardo. O'Reilly will expect more minutes as well.
