Lol, what does he actually add to the team that we don’t have?

He’s made of glassI actually can’t believe we didn’t move for Thiago. He’s unbelievable
Wouldn’t say he is overhyped though . If he is overhyped at the moment what would say sterling and foden are because at present they are nowhere near grealish on form .Overhyped , cheat , i could go on but cant be bothered , just lol

Unless of course you sign them as part of the groupAlso on this subject, we/English teams might struggle snapping up talent from Europe after brexit, as work permit issues may well be similar
Not as simple as that tho, that might give us the advantage of first dibs, but, they wouldn't be classed as academy trained, for example, braaf will have trained at the club for 3 years and be classed as homegrown in accordance with cl/prem rules. Under new rules we wouldn't have been able to sign him in the first place.Unless of course you sign them as part of the group
With the new Brexit rules we cannot sell or buy any U 18 players for City from outside UK.
I assume our plan is to buy them for a CFG team and transfer them when they are 18. Not sure if this is a loophole.
The new ruling would have meant we could not have transferred Sancho to Dortmund until he was 18.

The demands on here are silly
Who will go ?
Who do people want to go Marhrez, Sterling, Zinchenko, Mendy, Rodri, Gundogan, Fernandinho, Garcia, Aguero
+ Plus players on loan Harrison, Roberts, etc etc
Who will pep probably not get rid of due to his view of them Marhrez, Gundogan, Rodri
Who will the board probably not get rid of Sterling
Who will we struggle to sell Mendy, possibly Marhrez
So will we actually get rid of Garcia, Zinchenko, Fernandinho possibly Aguero but I think he might get one more year I would give him a years extension and allow him to leave in January for Argentina for £1 if he is struggling with injuries keeping him 6 12 months would allow his replacement to settle
+ players on loan
What positions do we need to look at a winger midfielder striker Left Back
Who would I bring in not sure but based on what other people have said Alaba, Zakaria or perhaps Ndidi

My understanding is that the only players in the academy from now on cannot be from outside UK excepting Irish.Would they need a work permit to play for the academy?
The most 18 to 21year old players that can be bought in a season is three at moment but may be increased in the future.
There is a points system that will be used for senior players but I'm guessing that most City players that we will be buying will satisfy this requirement.

Without having to look up all their names the most prominent we bought without work permits were
Gabriel Jesus. Had to stay with his club as he had no work permit at the time. Was lucky enough to get it as Brazil played a load of internationals in a short period of time.
Zac Steffen Had to go on loan until this season until he built up the required points.
Marlos Moreno Went on several loans and is still on one. If he had been able to come to City when he was bought might be a totally different situation with him
Enes Unal. Again similar to Moreno. Several loan spells in which I believe he did fairly well.
Jesus was always getting a work permit. He wanted to win the league in Brazil before joining.
Steffan was purchased a year early to allow for him gaining the necessary points whilst Bravo saw out the last year of his contract.
Moreno and Unal were CFG signings. If they had become superstars whilst out on loan, they would have played for their countries and become available for work permits should we have wanted them. They didn’t improve and so one was sold on and the other became a loan rambler as he turned out to be useless.
Luiz is the only player we have had work permit issues with.
