The Squad planning thread

[Digsy's Dinner]

i hope that happens, esp Anderson and Guehi especially

Don't think any of them are needed personally

 

[skiddypants]

The strangest and yet funniest fact I've heard this week is that the ageing and overweight Robbie Fowler (27) was younger when he signed for City than the promising and misunderstood Marcus Rashford (28) is now.

Crazy Man!

Indeed it would complete the squad and require no fucking around next summer around the world cup?!

Ortega £5m
Ake @ £18-20m
Phillips @ £15m
Kovacic @ £15-20m
Grealish @ £35-40m
Bernardo @ £10m
Bobb @ £30m



Maybe some of the talented youngsters have to go?

3-5 not getting anywhere near those figures. Bernardo leaving in summer on free.

Bernardo will go for free
We need to pay other team to sign Phillips lol

we might sell Ortega, Bobb, Ake and maybe Kovacic this transfer window

Suspect not much will happen this window rather the summer.

However loosing Ortega, Ake, Phillips, Bobb, Kovacic even for not much money frees up a lot a wages and brings in some book profits and reduces a lot of costs. Especially if we bring in fewer players highly likely as they are mostly surplus players and especially if as usually we do well selling youth players on top

We'll need to sell Ortega quickly so. His contract is up in June.
Kovacic still injured so can't see anyone buying him in this window.
Bobb maybe, assuming his current injury isn't long term. He seems to have interest from a few clubs.
Ake may want to go but he is currently our back up centre half, ahead of Khusanov. May get even more game time if Pep wants to rotate Gvardiol at LB, to give O Reilly a bit of a rest.

That'll go down well with them, after the Savinho hullabaloo

Alexis McAllister not happy at the dippers, always felt it was a poor decision from us at the time to not get him from Brighton

 

[Blue Bogey]

#ManCity are leading the race for Troyes striker Mathys Detourbet (18), with Hugo Viana heading negotiations.

Loic Tanzi

I think Detourbet is a wonderfully talented player. His style isn’t too dissimilar to Cole Palmer. Good in tight spaces and brilliant dribbler. His technique with the ball is very high for a player of his age. Glides past players with the look of ease.

I reckon I'll glide past this link with similar ease.

Not with a bag of apples you won’t. ;)

Sounds to me a lot like us signing Porro from Girona, probably just a way of getting some extra cash into Troyes. He’ll likely be loaned out and never be seen at City

 

[Skrastins]

Marmoush to Villa and Spurs are taking steam

 

[Alexia_Ko]

We need midfielders and CBs. We are banging on Semenyo’s door when our midfield is non existent. The injuries are piling up in defence too. Failure to act will be costly

 

[SaintColin]

2nd half in tough games we literally play like Tony Pulis side. We have the greatest manager of all time and have spent 100s of millions, how has it come to this…

 

[richards30]

Squad is actually a fucking mess to be honest!
