    City apparently in for Douglas Luiz (have a sell on clause so can get him cheaper). Would surely end their interest in Bruno?

    Be surprised if we can compete with Chelsea next season or anytime in the next few years tbh. Their spending capacity is miles beyond our own.

    if they need more cash they just sell another hotel - to themselves

  3. I would love us to try and be bold and go for bright talents - Vítor Roque is just an example of that.  Barca are in financial trouble and atm can't register their whole squad.

    The only type of younger striker likely to be interested in being a backup to Isak, would be one that is still inexperienced and needs some development e.g. Moukoko let's say.

     

    Having this kind of player as the only option behind Isak is playing with fire.

    It is how you sell it though - who says it's playing behind Isak - more like learning from Isak who is arguably one of the best strikers in the world.  Align that with Eddie's track record of developing players.  I don't think it is that hard a sell - just need the right character who wants to learn.

  5. We have to be investing in the future - much like we did with Hall, and Tino - I feel signings like Iheanacho are a step backwards.  They don't take us forward - it's more treading water.

    Precisely. Iheanacho might not be the ideal replacement, but if he's fit for the season, that means you have a striker who can come in and do a job if Isak is out, and for rotation purposes. Wilson is obviously better but he might only be available for 10 fixtures.

     

    Oh and £15m for Longstaff.

     

    Eddie said the plan was to add to the quality of the squad each transfer window - I wouldn't say Iheanacho falls into that bracket

    Both from the Sunday Mirror involving us and Leicester - Longstaff to them for £15m and Iheanacho to us on a free.

    Seem to be focusing on free signings :bob:

  8. He was hung out to dry the way Burnley played last season - Kompany gave him zero protection.  You cannot judge him from that - he's highly rated.

    Is a bit of a shame they haven’t decided to postpone the Sela display tomorrow, even a couple of weeks would mean the kittiwakes breeding season is largely over

    yeah - a bit of a PR own goal.  Poor birds :mou:

    Yeah, I've just read the times article again, the ones who broke the story and they say City are looking to end the APT rules.

    Agreed - the change in Feb were just the hump that broke the camels back.  City want APT rules chucked out which is why the likes of Henry Winter are whining as they know it will allow the likes of Newcastle to spend.
