The Squad planning thread

[lightning Rodri]

I genuinely don’t see why so many are writing Marmoush off yet?!?

Same for Savinho?

[bell_mcfc]

Also Alan Nixon saying we are interested in Harry Gray from Leeds. Archie’s younger brother

 

[handsofstone]

He'd cost £100mil but Morgan Rogers, what a player hes become

 

[richards30]

Marmoush showed more last season than Savinho has since he’s been at the club though? Savinho just isn’t physical enough for the premier league imo and just won’t consistently be out our level let alone what we used to be! Look at the shit Sterling got yet regularly got 25 plus goals a season!? Leroy didn’t get close to those numbers but was regularly the guy that set Sterling up?

Is he as good as Archie?

 

[HelloCity]

Would drive him there myself. It just hasn’t worked.

Feel like he’s been decent during the times Haaland hasn’t been fit.

That spell in the spring where we turned things around he was very good.

This season he was injured, and when he’s played, he’s come into an alternate XI which with no cohesion.

 

[WesthoughtonJohn]

Centurion season we played Sergio and Gabby as a two? Maybe Haaland and Marmoush could work?

Not as it stands imho
We're lightweight in the middle as it is, pushing Marmoush into that role leaves us even lighter.
I like Marmoush, but he's a bad fit for us the way we're setting up this season.

He’s no softer than Reijnders though?

 

[Tico Warrior]

A loan does nothing for us. He is homegrown and more reliable than Stones and can cover lb if needed, a loan doesn't help us as we won't get a loan in to replace him.

Agreed, take a fee for him if he is ok to go back and use it to get Guehi

Over the next two windows I’d love to see:

Semenyo
Fresneda
Anderson
Smit

I know Savinho hasn't been great this season, I'm still confident he'll come good. With Marmoush, I just don't know where he's going to get his minutes, plus he's at an age where he should already be at his peak and so likely to have less patience compared to Sav who's still really young. Of course I hope Pep finds him a role too, just think that's more difficult than Savinho.

 

[yatesy94.]

Semenyo £65m
Wharton £60m
Guehi £20m
Paqueta - £30m

That'd do nicely in January & 2026 summer transfer window. We'd be pretty much set then I reckon.

 

[Skrastins]

might be true, there are rumblings that Senesi will go

 

[bell_mcfc]

I have no idea. It’s a proper footballing family and I think Archie is a great player.

Don't need 2 midfielders.

we really shit the bed with him and Palmer eh ?

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

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.

 

[pavelsrnicek]

Don't need 2 midfielders.

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