Summer Transfers

[Kompany is King]

Cheers. Will have a look today.

Middlesbrough I believe.

 

[Sir peace frog]

what we should have imo is a 23 man squad
2 players for each position and 3 gk
first team would be made up of quality experienced players
second team would be made up of younger hungrier players fighting to get into the first team

There is no chance Monaco will sell Mbappe for 50 M.
And I think we can get better CB than Van Dijk

What would be your options ?

 

[MCFC ISRAEL]

What would be your options ?

Laporte. Or a reasonable fee for Van Dijk. He is not a 40M player. I think Laporte is

If Valverde goes to Barcelona I think there's a fair chance Laporte could follow him there. Hope I'm wrong though.

Don't think that will be the plan. Pep likes changing formations so there are more than 11 positions and he likes flexibility amongst his players so you may get players playing across several positions. I think a more likely plan would be 17 players likely to start games , two or three players prepared to be used sparingly and some younger players.

If Valverde goes to Barcelona I think there's a fair chance Laporte could follow him there. Hope I'm wrong though.

There's a number of mitigating factors towards such a move, however;
1. Bilbao will be reluctant, as they always are, to send a Basque talent to a divisional rival. All the more so with Laporte who they have painted as being a club hero etc.
2. Barcelona are financially in no position to look at meeting the release clause currently tied to Laporte without shifting talent, something they are more likely to do in an attempt to extend Messi.
3. Barcelona aren't going to be replacing Pique any time soon and, arguably, they have a sufficient central defender to go alongside him in Umtiti who is still only 23.

The fact City didn't acquire Laporte last transfer window constituted a serious and completely unplanned blow, to the extent that no plan B was even considered (Laporte literally pulled out at the 11th hour). With that in mind, it makes sense to suggest that City will make another run on the lad who, despite having diminishing returns this season, still represents the ideal form of a Pep central defender and is at the right age to slot in next to Stones for the forseeable.

Trying to balance overall cost and meeting the home grown rules. There looks like plenty leaving in the summer either being released or sold.

Also was trying to have a team that has decent mentors so the squad would be more like a rotational 22 than a first and second team although some of the players you could see would directly seen as a number two and would be used in cups etc. With players that can play multiple positions too to keep the squad trim.

Other youngsters could do with some decent loans. Iheanaco needs more game time next year in the premiership and won't get it competing with Aguero and Jesus right now
