SheppyFox Posted 28 July 2020 Share Posted 28 July 2020 (edited) Sarr & Willian Doucoure New CB New Gk to push KS for no1 New striker I don’t know if Willian is possible at all, but I’ve always rated him and he’s available if he’s interested, isn’t he? Anything less than 6 additions isn’t acceptable. (Considering we have absolutely no quality in depth) Our net spend is always peanuts and January frankly wasn’t even close to being good enough. Whether we’re capable of winning the Europa League remains to be seen, but it absolutely should be the clubs aim.

I'm sure it has been said that Willian isn't looking to leave London but I'm not sure how much truth there is in that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many good Championship players struggle to make the step up. Maddison is the most obvious success story but there are many failures. There are plenty of good players out there that don't have to be from England. Championship signings are more likely and a better fit when you're a mid table side like we were under Puel. I would hope City, if they have the funds, will be looking to quality players across Europe or other PL teams, as opposed to taking players from clubs like Brentford and QPR. Chucking a mid table Championship player into a Europa League campaign has the potential to be a Vardy level steep learning curve. Their goals and assists are very impressive though, all the signs they'd make the step up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesta2014 Posted 28 July 2020 Share Posted 28 July 2020 I like what I’ve seen of Eze! His finish last game of the season was top quality! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koke Posted 28 July 2020 Share Posted 28 July 2020 Man City bought Stones for 50m, he's only 26, they wouldn't sell for less than 50m. Also, he's only played 85 Premier League games in 4 seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If money is a little tighter this summer than it would have been without the pandemic then we have to weigh up what is more important in our recruitment this summer. We need a CB, a RW and another striker before we need a back up DCM. Therefore if we cannot afford to i.prove every position we want to giving Mendy a new deal is a sensible decision. He fills in perfectly well. 1 hour ago, SheppyFox said: Sarr & Willian Doucoure New CB New Gk to push KS for no1 New striker I don’t know if Willian is possible at all, but I’ve always rated him and he’s available if he’s interested, isn’t he?

Personally find this narrative of John Stones very jarring and lazy. He can be error prone but to suggest he can’t defend well is wrong. Very good premiership defender who I think would be a great signing for us (wages and transfer fee permitting). You don’t play for Manchester City and England If you ‘can’t defend’ 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not exactly hyped about them, just trying to be realistic in terms of who we can sign. Of course I'd be happy if we dropped €40 million on Sanitizer but it doesn't really look like we have that sort of money right now. *SABITZER, damn autocorrect Edited 29 July 2020 by Nicolo Barella Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horibbly Wrong Posted 29 July 2020 Share Posted 29 July 2020 I expect 1 or 2 wingers to come in from foreign clubs... Probably no-one even mentioned so far. Those 4 (with the exception of the Norwich guy) will cost too much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Flair Posted 29 July 2020 Share Posted 29 July 2020 LW Benrahma RW Brooks or Stengs Clubs who's seasons were curtailed by the pandemic and/or have missed on European football are worth looking too such as Lyon and Fiorentina. Had we got top 4, players like Chiesa and Depay may well have been realistic targets but sadly not now. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heymister2015 Posted 29 July 2020 Share Posted 29 July 2020 (edited) We usually spend £80m! Id still spend that and whatever we get in transfer fees! Forget the top 4 being stronger! Southampton/wolves/arsenal and Leeds will be forces next season!! I think Jose will have the usual meltdown at spurs!
