He made the Serie A's worst team of the year



Outside shot If nothing else, we know he's a proven EPL keeper and can play out of his mind in big matches. It won't happen, but if we whiff on our targets then we have that ace in the hole.

I want Fabinho and Kyle Walker badly.



:kige:
quote:

Fabinho can be a backup RB and also can fill in the midfield in Toure's role.



Still want 2 RBs and I want Toure to come back. If he accepts a reduced role and wages he could be one hell of a weapon off the bench. He showed that this season.

quote:

I really hope we give Maffeo a chance.



Roberts and Garcia are the only 2 kids I see getting a chance. I would put Unal in there but he's having the work permit issues and for him to even get a sniff we need to loan/sell Nacho. I would like some Nacho/Aguero pairings though. Aguero, IMO, always played better with a second striker, but if we develop a solid winger that's a scoring threat that would be a moot point.

quote:

ETA: City are odds on favorites to land Bernardo Silva as well. I know that doesn't mean much, but it's something. Would add great depth.


It gives us a Merlin replacement, as much as it pains me to say. Zaba stung, but holy hell when Silva and Vinnie move on I'll be crushed.

Unal is apparently attracting interest from everywhere.

MEN reported that Schalke, Borussia Monchengladbach, Dortmund, Werder, Porto, Monaco, Lazio Benfica and Lille have all apparently contacted City for his services.

If I had to guess, we'll sell him w/ a buyback in case he starts to feature regularly in the national team. He only has two appearances this season w/ Turkey.

Silva, KDB, Ilkay, Yaya (hopefully?), A. Garcia make up the midfield.


Delph deserves a spot in the team IMO

Agreed. He looked great in a few games near the end of the year.

Reported fee is 43.6 mil pounds. I fricking love it.

ETA: Supposedly Mendy is following Silva here. If we get both of them it will be FANTASTIC.

Bernardo Silva has followed Man City on Twitter and Instagram over the last few minutes. So I'm assuming it's as good as done

EPL window is open. European isn't. Nothing will be "official" until then.

Really? They stuck Utd with a bunch of add-ons for Martial, so I assumed it would be part of it. Good news if true.

I've always just thought they did that because that deal literally developed like w/ hours until the transfer deadline and Monaco had all of the bargaining power.

ETA: I'm seeing people saying it's 70 mil w/ 43 mil up front. So maybe some add-ons. Who knows.
