Summer Transfers

[aguero93:20]

Yaya won't leave.

We'll see. Even if he stays he's less of a guaranteed performer than Caballero, could easily see his legs go and it's past time we replaced him.

Moraes will cost a pretty penny, but it's an investment worth making. Bernat also would be tricky to snatch from Bayern, but he's not on good terms with Ancelotti and the latter prefers Alaba anyway. Bonucci, as stated earlier, becomes an option that both sides are likely to be more amicable towards than before and potentially with less financial constraints too. Ditto Laporte. Throw in a Fabinho and boom, City are a totally different side for much, much less than the amount the above would require.

I still don't know about Kun, there's a reasonable chance he moves on regardless as the question marks over his place when Jesus returns aren't answered, but I'd imagine the club will cross that bridge when they get to it.

Bernat is not a permanent starter - but gets his match time similar to the time when Pep was his coach. He did not play in previous years when the central defenders weren't available and Alaba was not injured either. Nothing has changed for him with Ancelotti - the only thing is that in difference to last season he shows the same performance as he did in his first year at Bayern. And that he speaks German now.

 

[Kompany is King]

Gone quiet on Dortmund's Julian Weigl?

Gone quiet on Dortmund's Julian Weigl?

That one is hardly news tbf. Although tbh from what I've seen of him he hasn't really progressed from last season. On top of that I'd rather someone with a more physical/aerial presence.

 

[Sir Joe Aguero]

Isco, Handanovic (or, you know, just get Hart back and say sorry), 2 fullbacks and Bonnucci.

 

[Dax777]

Moraes, Fabinho, Mendy, Bernat, Bonucci, Laporte, Mbappe, Isco, Lemar.

Replace about nine or ten in the squad - getting £70m for Sergio and still have a net spend of £200m.

Job done!

I had to double check the posters name. This does not sound like you at all.

You realize yo are advocating getting 4 players from 1 club right? That's just FM type stuff. Let me streamline you purchase

Ederson: Agree here.
Bernat: Agreed. But we don't need 2 specialist LBs. So no need to get Mendy
Fabihno; I agree with this only coz the link is strong. But I'd rather Semedo or Periera.
Laporte: he can also backup the LB position, so can Kola who'd still be here backing up the left side. Also no need for Bonnuci. 1 he is too old and 2 we won't get him.
Isco: Joins the midfield as the replacement for Yaya and Delph.
Mbappe: Replaces Navas and Nolito. Joins Sane , Sterling, Jesus and Aguero to form the attacking 5 option. Lemar is a good player, but he is surplus to requirement.

That's your 6

 

[Edwin Edwin]

Ederson,Van Dijk,Grimaldo,Ryan Sessegnon,Fabinho,N'zonzi & Isco.
Roberts & Maffeo to add to the HG quota.

This would be a very good summer. Like the look of nzonzi.

 

[IWasHere]

Grimaldo is already better than Bernat.

Agree.

Moraes, Fabinho, Mendy, Bernat, Bonucci, Laporte, Mbappe, Isco, Lemar.

If pogbas worth 89 million I highly doubt Sergio would cost 70, besides I can't see him going
