Jaspa Posted 17 August 2020 Share Posted 17 August 2020 Zaha clearly just wants to take advantage of his last chance for a big payday. He's too stroppy anyway, talented but not sure we'd see the best of him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Europa League Cup games, the inconsistency in form of Chilwell (which hopefully gets better with more experience), and hopefully good domestic cup runs, in addition to possible injuries, there should more than enough games to keep another quality FB busy. If we are going to sign new players, we should be targeting quality and not just warm bodies. If we cannot upgrade in any position, let’s just keep the warm bodies we already have and know. Meanwhile, I could personally live with Justin and even Thomas as our LB backups. Edited 17 August 2020 by NaijaFox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At his best these days, a selfish and often sulking primadonna, whose ‘effectiveness’ has more than halved once refs were reminded that he is not in a top 6 club and undeserved of being rewarded for his Olympic-worthy dives. Here at City, we need the ball to be quickly moved around and that’s not Zaha’s game. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether you rate Fuchs, Justin or Thomas is irrelevant because they're all going to be here and be in the squad, unless Thomas gets a loan. There are at least four more pressing areas to sign a player than a full-back if you're keeping Chilwell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like to think of myself as usually the patient type, but with players beginning to return from today and seemingly no movement on the horizon, I am becoming more than a tad anxious. One can only hope that there are major things happening behind closed doors (). Edited 17 August 2020 by NaijaFox 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALC Fox Posted 18 August 2020 Share Posted 18 August 2020 Silva going to Sociedad has got me thinking about Martin Ødegaard again. Apparently he's finally getting his shot with Real Madrid this coming season, but we all know how quickly that could unravel. They've invested time in him, certainly, but he could be one to watch out for and might be worth a cheeky bid in the winter window if he's not had encouraging start. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nickbluefox Posted 18 August 2020 Share Posted 18 August 2020 A footballer would be good, but it seems to be proving a tad difficult for some reason!....maybe the club doesn't realise, that they have to actually do something, (like get their hands in their pockets). Other clubs seem to have grasped the idea!!! 🤔😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They spent pretty much Zero last season though, so a fair amount of cash lying around. Don't doubt they will sell their better players, but certainly don't think their spending relies on it.

A lot of their players are on decent money, they've now brought in 7 players which could equate to an extra 7m on their wage bill for the year, theyre going to need to balance it.
