Will We Do Business in the Winter Window?

[SuperYaya]

Gabriel Jesus coming is big news already though I expect he'll not have an impact until the summer as is the norm for winter buys.

Honestly barring an out of the blue opportunity it's highly unlikely we'll buy anyone, us and the other big guns are getting wise to how hard it is to buy in this window. If anything mad as it sounds we're more likely to end up selling than buying, Yaya perhaps making his exit.

Their season finishes on December 4th. That gives him near enough a month off before coming to City in January. I'm hoping that bit of extra rest might help him make more of an immediate impact, although of course he'll still need to learn how the team plays.

If we offload Bony to China for a decent fee I can see us using that money to bring in Van Dijk.
With a tall commanding presence at the heart of the backline and the quick hardworking goalthreat from GJ I can see the 3-3-3-1 working much better.​

Aguero
G. Jesus --- De Bruyne ----Sterling
----Silva ------Gundogan
Fernandinho
Otamendi Van Dijk Stones
Bravo

Caballero, Kolarov, Fernando, Toure, Nolito, Sane, Iheanacho.​

It is very quiet for this window. We obviously have areas that need strengthening but not much apart from the lad at Southampton

 

[Wolfkin]

Should we? Yes.

Will we? No.

That Line up looks amazing. Though i'd take Nolito over Sterling at the moment.

I don't know if he has renewed with BM but could Xabi Alonso be a temporary guy we could use now that Gundogan Will be out for a long time?

decent team that!

Whatever Txiki says, I wouldn't be at all surprised to see us buy someone, especially if Bony goes to China.

 

[Thaksinssoldier]

It's difficult.

Should we? I don't know.

Yes, we urgently need an overhaul at the back and a midfielder to help Fernandinho's load now Ilkay is injured, but we've bought in Summer and I'd argue that none of them have settled yet.

Stones certainly hasn't. Sane certainly hasn't. Nolito is good in patches but prone to going awol too.

Perhaps mixing it up more is the wrong thing to do right now and bedding the others in is a priority, even if it means leaving us weak at the back for now.

Aaron moy anyone?
