Helps build from the back, close to Hall in that ability (just weaker defensively), can dip into midfield if we had a crisis and he’s an experienced pro. You’d only want him for possibly 6 starts and minutes off bench at most. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’ve just sold their best player for £65m, so it’s a case of being forced to replace him out of necessity, rather than being adventurous. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 (edited) Shock Would love Khusanov but guess they’ll just hoard him. PS can Romano not just put a little bit of work into making sure his English makes sense? An important proposal FFS.

The College Dropout Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 I do hate how Man City have been able to spend more in this rebuild. Ferguson went 4years without a league title in the 00’s if I remember correctly? Maybe 3. Invincibles. Mourinho 2x. In that time let some player projects fail. But also developed the next gen in Rooney and Ronaldo. City? 4 windows of massive signings. Basically wrote off most signings within 6 months. Savino? Finished. Marmoush? Finished. Khusanov? Finished. Unlimited spending. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could’ve made the move in summer, but the price point we’re looking at £70m, I don’t think it’s worth it. Different for Man City to drop these sums, because they can turf out whoever for good fees and write off any other losses, and still spend. Another play they're signing on the fly. Alleyne can be carted back out on loan now, despite being good for two games. Value there now to sell for £20m+ in summer to enable Man City to spend some more on short term targets. They're a fucking mess, just throwing money all over this past 12 months. No concerted squad building in mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turnbull2000 Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 As if we didn't need another reality check. We're light years off these clubs. Here's us still playing a 31 year old Murphy (no disrespect to meant him though). Still, rather he went to City than the red twats. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's as bad as it's ever been for them in terms of recruitment strategy post-takeover. For some reason they've largely stopped going after the best or close in the world market and keep punting on more middling targets for still massive fees. At a point didn't they have Mahrez, Sterling, Sane and the 2 Silva's in the same squad? Plus KDB, (a fading but still great) Fernandinho, Rodri.

Better suited to teams who play with a back 3. (He's too weak aerially in a back 4 imo) He’s gotten better aerially over time. And is no worse than Schar in the air. I actually think he would be great for us. Particularly as a leader. His composure. Taking responsibility. Concentration. I like Thiaw and Botman. But I don’t think either have the leadership and that bit of mental steel that Schar and Burn have yet. Now obviously both are young and will develop. Burn improved as a CB well into his 30’s imo. Guehi has those characteristics naturally though. Good enough footballer and defender to be of value to pretty much any team in the world. Maybe not always as a starter. But as I keep saying 3rd and 4th choice CBs at CL clubs play a lot of games. Generally I don’t like centre backs that don’t win their headers. But I think mentality is more important. If we are to move on one of Burn or Schar in the summer I might prefer a slightly older replacement say 25-28. Or get a slightly older GK.
