The Squad planning thread

[Sir Joe Aguero]

Trafford 40mil, Camara 50mil, Vanderson 50mil or Cambiasso 60mil, Huijsen 50mil. 200mil total.

Rodri to come back, Nico Gonzalez, Khusanov & Marmoush to have more involvement. Echeverri to come. Would have Doyle at backup LB. Loan Reis out to Girona.

200mil is still a pretty low net spend if we get top 4 and make some clearances. That’s a team packed with exciting young talent with massive potential and legs. Still gives a pretty big war chest for Wirtz/Palmer next season. Honestly think this sees us back to the top.

Why loan out Reis? You don’t think he’s ready even though I doubt you’ve seen him play?

From the little I’ve seen (YouTube clips) he looks a little frail. Huijsen’s having an unbelievable season and having a year in La Liga would hopefully do the same to him as it did for Savio.

 

[TonyColemansbagofapples]

I see your point but in Spain he is not learning City’s style or the British culture and language. Before you reply with Savinho, his position requires less discipline than a centre back.

Maybe so. Still think Huijsen at that price is too good to ignore.

Get em both. we'll need the bodies. Gotta think Reis hasn't been sold on being a starter from off. they can all fight for the shirt :)

I think Reis staying is better. Needs to learn the language anyways. And next season will be crazy he will get his games.

Still get Huijsen though. Him and Khusanov would be a fantastic pairing.

 

[Delphinho]

Also some rumors going around that City are interested in Nypan im the summer, and he would no longer be a Girona signing

Chevalier, Livramento, Baleba, Nypan and Wirtz would be my dream window, and we’ve been linked with all of them. Give or take 300m, and then hopefully around 150m in sales. Sounds doable

It's a cracker.

 

[Ken92]

2 full backs and a creative midfielder is a must.

Don't play FM but I'd go big with the singings below, though don't know if realistic - Walker gone and with Grealish and Stones look likely were struggling for HG/AT players. Delap supposedly has reasonable buy-back so could plug that gap, and allow Marmoush/Foden time in the middle and out-wide.

GK: Costa, Ortega, Carson
RB: Cambiaso Nunes Lewis
CB: Dias, Akanaji, Khusanov, Reis
LB: Gvardiol Ake (CB cover)
DM: Rodri Wharton
CM/AM: Echeverri Foden Wirtz Gonzalez McAtee
RW: Savio Bobb
LW: Marmoush Doku
ST: Haaland Delap

AT/HG : Carson, Ake, Wharton, Bobb, Foden, Lewis, McAtee, Delap.

Out: Gundo, Bernardo, Kovacic, Ederson, Walker, Kevin, Grealish, Stones + Loaned players/academy players.

Net outlay would be around 100-150m.

Best 11 would look something like

Costa
Cambiaso Khusanov Dias Gvardiol
Wirtz Rodri Gonzalez
Foden Haaland Marmoush

Ortega, Akanji, Ake, Wharton, Echeverri, Savio, Bobb, Doku, Delap

Bergval is one to keep an eye on looked impressive tonight.

Yes very dynamic. Would give more pace in CM too. Sadly he is bound to that team for who knows how long.

Everyone has a price they only pade 8.5 mill for him.

Levy’s price from City is 150 mil.

FYI Delap has been sold to Ipswich as he wanted first team football , Ipswich is his level , as is Palace for Wharton .

 

[Dax777]

Reijnders/Ederson - Kovacic
Wharton/Varela - Gundo
Cambiaso/Frimpong - Walker Neither
Huijsen/Diomande - Stones
Wirtz/Baena - KDB
Costa/Chevalier - Ederson Neither
Echeverri/McAtee - Bernado
Bobb/McAtee - Grealish
? - Carson

Costa/Chevalier - Ortega - 3rd choice gk

Cambiaso/Frimpong - Lewis - Akanji - Gvardiol - Ake - Dias - Huijsen/Diomande - Khusanov - Reis

Rodri - Nico - O’Reilly - Wharton/Varela

Reijnders/Ederson - Foden - Wirtz/Baena - Nunes?

Bobb - Doku - Savio - McAtee - Echeverri

Haaland - Marmoush

Like the #15 from Spurs

So if Walker, Stones, Grealish leave what english/homegrown players are at the level. you replace and can be bought?
