Taylor Harwood-Bellis - move to Southampton completed.

[Dereck Jeffries 3 wd]

With Laporte and Cancelo going, Stones injured for a few weeks?
THB still not required?

What is going on with this? No reason for us not getting 20mil for this guy but no news

I wondered that, though he'd probably prefer to be playing somewhere than spending the majority of the time on the bench (at best). It did surprise me a bit that neither he, nor Doyle made our bench given that they both now have quite a bit of experience.

No real news of any sale/loan for either of them, which again is a bit strange.

I read the absence from the bench and pre-season tour to mean that THB and Doyle have no future at City and will probably be transferred before the window closes. It might be their wages that are making moves difficult.

Him and Doyle are prime candidates for a sale with buy back clause

Don't think either are truely going to be good enough for us outside of a squad role, so better for then to leave on a permanent deal so they can get proper gametime.and are allowed to develop

Would imagine he ends up like Adarabioyo - late transfer window punt by a lower Prem side.

 

[The Scarlet Pimpernel]

I'm surprised Kompany hasn't come for him. I can only assume Kompany doesn't think he's good enough, because he's surely available for loan or permanent transfer.

I was wondering about this too - he played most games last season for Burnley

Up until his injury,then Vinny discovered another partnership which included the very impressive loan signing (now permanent) Jordan Beyer.

Still over a week to go......im sure THB,Doyle and maybe McAtee will get moves.

Hi contract is up, he would need a new deal first.

Maybe this is the delay.

You sign who you can to help the team. I would expect Burnley are still interested to an extent, but know that getting into the Prem makes more players want to join them. They might just be waiting to see if they can get anyone better and he might still be the fallback option.
