Summer Transfers

Koulibaly is a must
A goal scoring midfielder to replace Dave
Someone clinical who can play at least 2 positions across the forward line

we dont need a goal scoring midfielder to replace Dave - we have Foden and Pep has made it pretty clear that we wont be buying anyone to replace David Silva.

Agree on the forward however. Jesus is unconvincing despite his numerous and well documented positives

Agree on the need for defender (Koulibaly being the seemingly most preferential)
 
With Koulibaly price standing at £72 million before the auction and inevitable price increase, why don`t we just pass. our last right center backs are Kompany a midfielder Stones bought for his comfort on the ball and the belief he could play in midfield, Fernandinho a midfielder. Zakaria a defensive midfielder who has played center back and is very good at it, compared to stones and Koulibaly he is better than Stones in the air better than both in the tackle, has better awareness, better ball control and is a lot faster, so can play the high back line better without the injuries it causes.
Rodon it is going to be a thankless task backing up Laporte so buying a foreign player on high wages is foolish.
Tsmikas a left back who can do what Mendy Zinchenko and Angelino can, just faster and better defensively .
And all three for less than the eventual price of Koulibaly , and less wages

Kompany wasn't a midfielder, the rest failed.
 
Kompany came to City as a defensive midfielder and got moved backwards, we never looked back:) bit harsh to say Fernandinho failed, he is just too old but it is fairly obvious in his younger days he would have thrived on Peps high back line

Yes, Fernandinho didn't fail. I know Kompany played as a dm, but pretty sure he was bought as a defender and was always earmarked to move into defence.

We need to buy Traore from Wolves a striker and a centre back. Maybe a left back also.

He did play his first few games a DM not sure if it was an injury or De Jong`s form that got Kmpany moved back

Just go ask yourself what is Traore`s goal record ,assist record, pass completion record is like, and why Pep would want someone who can not kick the ball straight. just because he has scored half his goals against us does not mean we would want him

Many reports that Pep is actually a big fan of him.
 
Mark Ogden’s City want list has included:
- Dwight McNeil 2020
- Adama Troare 2020
- Saul 2019
- Gareth Bale 2015
- Fernando Torres 2012
- Marquinhos 2016

I cannot recall a simple story he’s ever got right. Stuff that doesn’t even make sense. Why would we want both Adama and McNeil? Either something changed in a week, and a big shift in terms of position and value, or he’s literally piecing crap together.

Saul was a cracker. We were going to pay his €120m release clause when it turns out it was Rodri we wanted the entire time.

somehow managed to conjure a story that UAE owned City were going to negotiate with Qatari owned PSG. Brilliant logic.

Then in 2015, we were going to “rescue” Gareth Bale from his “hellish” time at Real Madrid. By this time he’s just won 2 Champions Leagues and a League title.

The guy is a total clown and absolute GUTTER at his job.

No we do not , how many games has Bravo played, Muric who is as good as is on lower wages and club trained
 
You think traore is the same player now as he was at Barca, who he left 5 years ago at the age of 19?

No when he left Barca there was always the chance he could improve, and was well worth a dabble, now he is what he is crap, Victor Moses could at least play RB to a decent standard

Muric isn't as good as Bravo, and can't be relied on as number 2 in the event of Ederson getting injured. If not Steffen we would need a new keeper.

I have seen nothing of Bravo to suggest he is as good as Muric, and the reasons for bringing him in have now gone, as for Steffen bringing him back will only have him put in a transfer request
 
I think we need

Back up keeper - needed
Central defender - urgently needed
(Keep fern as back up)
Defender (Versatile) to cover walker or Mendy - needed

left wing - needed
Quick defensive central midfielder - urgently needed (keep gundy as back up)

striker - desperate
(Keep Jesus to cover as winger or striker)

We really need central defender & striker to be world class no peeing about, the rest are youth or backup players happy to be on the bench. If we can stretch to a quick midfielder get him in too but I think with foden we maybe ok. Just not much cover if him or Kev get injured.
