Will City be queuing overnight

[M23 Citizen]

Brighton have already signed a player and he starts Jan 1st. If we had anyone even remotely close to signing we would be in the same boat. It doesnt even appear like we have a clear strategy at the minute.

City have also already signed a player and he starts 1st January.

Liverpool signed VVD in january a few years ago and the rags got Bruno Fernandes so the right player can be available in Jan, just a matter of finding them.

There will be plenty of players we can get mate to be honest, the club HAS to at least get a midfielder, fullback , back up striker and I’d push for Nico Williams now as well

We need to be ultra aggressive and not piss around leaving it to the last few days. That would be pointless and may as well leave it to the summer.

I'm not disagreeing we don't need that many, in fact I'd suggest a couple more. However, I don't see that happening in January. I think we try and shore up the midfield as a priority if possible. The squad planning for whatever reason hasn't been top of the list.

Any player is available if you're willing to pay the price. We wanted VVD, in the documentary you see Khaldoon and Ferran talking about Southampton wanting crazy money for him and Liverpool are willing to pay it - they laughed. But it changed their fortunes, they then got Allison in summer and it completely changed them. Same for us in 17/18, Stones and Vinny kept getting injured and we relied on Otamendi so we spent the money and got Laporte in. The board are going to have to realise they'll need to spend, and spend big.

I wish we had signed van dijk back then, looks a bargain now and has always been better than Laporte was. We made the same mistake with Rice. Pretty sure he’d have come here if him and his agent were paid enough.

The penny pinching has to stop. Look how good we were, if we’d strengthened from that position of dominance we’d be light years ahead of Liverpool and arsenal now. Sometimes our reticence to spend makes me so frustrated.

Can take it all the way back to 2012. If we'd have got Hazard and Van Persie, we'd have rammed home that dominance.

Greedy bastard agent will be trying to fleece us.

I can see pogba being done and maybe ederson from Atlanta if and it’s a big if we do sign anyone .
