The Squad planning thread

Could see us trying to get bring Semenyo and Guehi in now while trying to move Bobb, Ake and Ortega, possibly Phillips if anyone is willing to take him on loan.

Next summer I could see us in for Anderson and Akliouche to replace Kovacic and Bernardo. Stones will probably be off with Reis to take his spot.

I think Trafford goes in the summer which means we may need to free up an additional foreign player but Ortega moving on may help on that front.

At least we still have Foden. He’s for me by far the best out of the 3 and I think it’s fair to say both Rogers and Palmer needed those moves away to become the players they are, more so Rogers - Palmer was breaking through but limited and on the RW.

Yes, still not sure where Palmer would really fit, Rogers would be a better fit but is he better than Foden- Cherki,not so sure. Plus as you say not sure Rogers would have reached the level he has if he stayed,nor that anyone was predicting it.
 
We could do with Semenyo and Guehi in the January window as we are in with a real shout for the premier league, fa cup and carabao cup? I dont think we can win the champions league but as Stones is out injured and possibly done at City now and Ake wanting out in January then Guehi should be a priority imo as well as an inform goal scoring winger.

Depending on the Rodri situation, we may also want to look at a midfielder in January rather than waiting until the summer? Otherwise we run the real risk of running Nico into the ground in the same way we did Rodri.

we really shit the bed with him and Palmer eh ?

tbh the % of him getting at the level he has @city are quite low

Not really

Its easy to say but if they stayed at City their career would've gone a different direction

Rogers needed to go about it the long way, he wasn't a ridiculous prospect

Palmer is think is a little overrated (hes top quality but think its got a little much) and he sounded like he wanted to be a guaranteed starter....and came into a terrible Chelsea team where he took on the key player role

Who knows what could've happened if they stayed

For instance I think Bobb can get to the top level...but not if he stays, he needs a 2 year loan or a new club to get that exposure and allow his game to develop

At least if another CB coming in that is reliable with how many games they can play could see Nunes play DM more.

If we got another top CB in though then if need be Josko could go to DM mate?

Round peg, square hole. Josko is a centre back.

A top centre back coming in replaces Ake/Stones.

Exactly could easily have Guehi, Dias and Josko as 3 main CB's. They can all play both sides and plenty of minutes for them all.

Khusanov is great but still very raw. As much as id like to see him play more I can see him (for now) being a squad player.
 
I’d seriously be looking at anton stach at Leeds who’s is looking one hell of a player and would definitely keep out midfield ticking over . This guy is gonna get better and better

Bernardo and Kovacic are likely gone in the summer. Rodri still has to sign an extension so lots up in the air.

Rodri might shift it a liitle, but Kovacic hasn't played. Assuming Rodri stays though and no reason to think he isn't then Rodri, Gonzalez, Anderson/Wharton, Reijnders, Foden, Cherki is plenty for 3 positions.

And our back up keeper would be.............
 
What’s everyone’s thoughts on Morgan Rodger’s. 7g 3a. Can play both wings, 10 and false 9. I remember him in the academy he was outshined by palmer and McAtee. When he played against Leicester in the community shield he was useless. I never thought he was good enough but look at him now. He looks great.

Ideally we get Guehi and Reis back for next season and let both Stones and Ake go.

Rb is interesting as Nunes is doing well and Rico future seems in midfield. Unless we get Livramento near circa 50 Mill, we should go in the market for someone with potential who can became a steady rb in couple of years.

Kova will see out his last year here next season but Bernie would require replacement. Paqueta maybe if West Ham goes down and he is available at a dropdown price.

If Semenyo comes, Bobb can leave and Savio be given next season too to prove himself.
