It's very quiet, no ITK's have posted anything for a while and even the media haven't got anything.
To be honest ITK information was incredibly thin on the ground, so much so as to be almost completely absent, during our 4 transfers of the window already. Must have really tightened up shop.

I just hope we get someone like Navas for the left wing. Would be a very, very good summer then.

My interpretation of THs comments are that our rivals will struggle to get their targets?

We need to replace Kolo Toure in the squad in my opinion.

It was alluded too in another thread yesterday not a bad dealTexasBlueMoon said:
Gustavo is supposed to be available, better than Garcia/Barry ?
If Barry is to go to Arsenal or Napoli then this would be a good move ?
If any solid offer comes in for Kolarov, then Coentrao is supposed to be available for about 8 million, or maybe Baines, but he'd cost more and is older.
That would be two good younger players on lower wages.
The Pepe link won't go away and would improve the centre of defence, and he has the experience.
A left sided midfielder with pace (a left footed Navas) would be ideal, the icing on the cake and loan/sell Sinclair.
It has appeared to me that Pellegrini has rotated players to give them all equal opportunity for fitness, but I think he has also been checking out where we are weak. The backline against Milan, was pretty poor, and they did capitulate as most fans expected. He must have sorted this at half-time, but I wonder if some players time is now up ?

Quite feasible but why post it in 'the spending is not over' thread which implies the spending is not over for City?

We have already signed him. It would be good if we got somebody like Ronaldo for the left wing.Sir Joe Aguero said:

Also, in an earlier post he mentioned Pepe and 'two South Americans'.

I'd say we are as far away as 5 new players from truely completing our squad.
We need another Midfielder to replace Barry and Garcia, a "navas" for the left wing, a new left back to replace Kolarov, and potentially 2 new centre halves, one to replace Lescott.
... But that's probably the agenda for next summers window.

I wouldnt even mind only three of those to be honest - Coentrao, Matip and Di Maria...... and kongdogbia for centre mid.
However i think Kolarov will stay and we'll go for a CM, CB and LW to end the window

No chance, for two reasons.
Firstly, there's no way we could keep that standard of player happy as second choices, nor would our current first choices be happy back ups. You're just asking for squad disharmony and huge numbers of players moving in and out each summer.
Secondly, we have to reach a home-grown quota and you're planning on getting rid of 3 of the current bunch without replacement. I personally think the home-grown players we have are some of the best available and we shouldn't be so keen to get rid.
Also, do those players really stack up that badly against our rivals' back up players?

I'd have quite liked to have seen Ljajic brought in as a replacement for Sinclair and then a centre half added to complete the squad. However, I think you're right about the home grown thing. In fact I'm not even sure who qualifies at present. Presumably Hart, Wright, Lescott, Richards, Rodwell, Milner, Barry and Sinclair. But does anyone else qualify? Clichy perhaps?

If we got rid of Barry, Sinclair and Lescott I think there Would be issues fullfilling the british player quota.

If we get to do that sort of business in the next three or for windows I think that's when we'll become European Cup contenders.<br /><br />-- Fri Aug 02, 2013 6:48 pm --<br /><br />brian the blue said:

Could we sell Sinclair and bring in Tom Ince? Still fulfill our quota.
