Who now then?...

Could Ramsey be the one

Chelsea are sniffing so could we be

Please God not Ramsay. Overrated and completely lacking in positional awareness and discipline - he would be a liability in a deep midfield role.

Re Rabiot, there are rumours that Milan is interested in him and that Leonardo (ex-PSG director, now in Milan) , are in a better position to sign him.

I think many are reading too much into Pep’s comments about a ‘special’ player.

I was thinking the same thing.

Interestings points lads/ladettes re Rabiot. Dont think anyone from the Man city tower has denied interest in Rabiot either?

Pep said yesterday that we are specifically looking at a player who can cover Fernandinho’s position.

Rabiot is a promising midfielder, but he plays where Foden, Silva and KDB plays, he’s never going to be a cover for Fernandinho’s position.

I was thinking the same thing.

Pep's " special player " is possibly a player who is off the radar and some distance away from the players that are coming under the microscope, or it could be his way of explaining why we might not end up signing anybody in this window ?

A few more days of guessing probably.

Ndombele?

There were no media whispers at all, for Bernado.

Bollocks there were plenty of rumours. They all said he was off to the swamp. Thats why it was so delicious when that picture of him and Txiki surfaced.

How’s about Kroos?

 

[Delphinho]

Rabiot has asked PSG not to play DM, so it can`t be him. Pep said that if we sign someone it will be someone "special", which probably rules out Lemina. Ndombele or Frenkie De Jong would be my guess. Saul is incredibly unrealistic, but there`s not many better young DM`s in the world than him, and I would personally love him

 

[CityDreamer]

Can someone compile a list of possible DMs? Or it only Lemina and Nzonzi that are realistic options?
