The Squad planning thread

[kun]

Most likely will be loaned ou straight away

Dude is barely playing for River Plate

only games he's missed are when he was called up for the national team.

People here are obsessed about number 10 like Musiala or Wirtz whilst City has Foden, Bobb and Grealish can also play here. Also I’m rather sure Silva will stay here till 2020. Savinho also can play 10. The problem is lack of clinical finishers apart from Haaland and Foden. Alvarez has gone, very important player IMO, who has delivered 10-15 goals, and the club did nothing to replace him.

21 starts in 28 games this season. Hardly Barely.

Somehow i thought Copa Libertadores is the league, my bad.

Stats for 23/24, League & Europe
Savinho - 9G/10A
Gundogan - 5G/9A
Alvarez - 16G/11A

We've replaced Alvarez goal contributions, it's indirect but we have (also once Bobb comes back I'm sure he will pick some of this up)

Kayky to Sparta Rotterdam takes #4 of our 6 overseas loan spots.
2 left for possibly:

- Nunes to Atletico?
- Kaboré (maybe leaving on a permanent, last contract year!)
- Filip Stevanovic (2026 contract, Waalwijk last year)
- JWE (maybe national loan, doubt he will stay here)

Cancelo leaving on a permanent would be top news, but he didn't agree yet...

Kayky (Sparta Rotterdam)
Joel Ndala (PSV Eindhoven)
Tomas Galvez (Linzer ASK)
Yan Couto (Borussia Dortmund)
Issa Kaboré (Benfica)
Claudio Echeverri (River Plate)
Máximo Perrone (Como)

That's 7. Is Echeverri officially registered as a future transfer and not a loan?

Yeah, Echeverri is a City player on loan to River Plate til end of 2024.

Ndala and Galvez count as U21 and club-trained and are exempt of the max 6 intl loans.

Filip Stevanovic left City for Lommel on a permanent, probably for some training compensation payment.

Bottom line we have 5 players on intl loans now:
Couto, Echeverri, Kayky, Kaboré and Perrone.

 

[HaalandEffect]

Wonder who is on the list to replace Walker and possible backup for Rodri, if Nunes/Lewis fills that role.

Probably no one. We dont need anyone remember
