afar Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Will Hughes on his way to Watford, according to the Torygraph, for 8 million. Always thought he would end up with us, the fee looks pretty reasonable wonder if Derby have given up on him ever developing ? http://www.bbc.com/sport/football/gossip Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always thought he would end up with us, the fee looks pretty reasonable wonder if Derby have given up on him ever developing ? http://www.bbc.com/sport/football/gossip Thought he always looked an extremely tidy player whenever i've seen him. Not the fastest but surely worthy competition to Shelvey. Really surprised we're not bidding too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odear Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 City have made an approach for William Carvalho. Although it's a wee bit shady as his agent is Guardiola's brother.. who mentioned that we were the other interested club. He's the only player we've been spuriously linked with that I've been genuinely excited about. Would be like buying an extra few places higher in the league, he would be that effective. Could be difference in City winning the league again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the fastest but surely worthy competition to Shelvey. Really surprised we're not bidding too. If he can stay fit he'll be better than Shelvey. Unfortunately he's had 2 canny major injuries and he's only 22 which has obviously hindered his progress somewhat. Still a very good championship player at the moment though.

Ryan Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 £4m initial fee rising to £7.5m looks a real bargain for Hughes even with the injury concerns he's had in the past. Reckon he'll turn out to be a good signing for Watford, wouldn't have minded us going in for him at that price. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ritchie Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Hmm I don't know, haven't heard about him for ages and the cheap fee suggests he's not actually that good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neesy111 Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Hmm I don't know, haven't heard about him for ages and the cheap fee suggests he's not actually that good. He is good, just had a lot of injuries. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Nearly 200 games for Derby... it would've been comfotably over that too, had he not had his 2015/16 season ruined by injury. Pretty impressive at 22. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrmojorisin75 Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Salah, Coutinho, Mane and Firmino as a front 4 is rather tasty. depends what you want, they will simply not win the league with that lineup and i'd suggest they'll struggle to push on from last year as well it's like a load of false nines or whatever, it'll have it's moment but without a proper focal point will lose it's way too much over a season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astroblack Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 If they got Naby Keita, I think they'd be a lot more complete. However, it looks like he'll be staying at RBL. Them or Spurs should go for James Ward Prowse. There's no point of staying at Southampton in this day and age. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I struggle to see a scenario where one of them won't look significantly worse as they are forced to play an unnatural role. But we'll see i suppose.

Has a team every won the English top flight without a 'proper' striker up front? Arsenal the closest I can think but they played a striker as well.

They won't be starting them all imo, they'll rotate them as necessary as that was Liverpool's biggest weakness with what happened in January. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 I don't expect them to win the league regardless tbf, their defence and CMs are nowhere near good enough even if the attacks performs above potential. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
