LV Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 Yeah I can’t see him moving either really. I remember reading somewhere he wasn’t that keen on going to Spain so the Bayern link is interesting. It’s going to be an interesting summer I feel. Rice, Maddison, maybe Kane looking to move. Chelsea addicted to buying players. Us needing more quality. Lots of variables. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big River Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 can't see Kane wanting to leave the Prem anytime soon. he's after Shearer's record. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 (edited) Mason Mount's absolutely class if you can get him playing effectively in the right system man. Very tactically astute player. I've posted this a few times, but it's absolutely worth repeating. Under tuchel he was scoring or assisting in 2 out of every 3 games in the league (11 goals, 10 assists in 32 games), that's nothing to shake a stick at. His England form does his reputation no favours because he's undoubtedly not the same player for England that he is for Chelsea, nowhere near. Worth bearing in mind as well, even this season where Chelsea have been poor overall and a lot of Chelsea fans apparently hate him - 3 goals and 6 assists in 29 appearances.

I think that last part makes this entire thread a little tricky at the moment. Sure we have a lot of money but, given the sense we have shown so far in terms of spending/recruitment, what can be classed as 'realistic' will alter drastically based on whether we get CL or not. Both in terms of how much we feel we can spend, and whether the players will want to come. We get CL and suddenly there aren't too many players who can be ruled as unrealistic. No CL and there's no way a player like Kane (already into his 30's by next season) is going to come on board at what's probably seen as still a pretty early stage. That being said, we get CL and my dream move is actually for Ilkay Gundogan. Elite level, can play a number of different CM roles, Would instantly (and drastically) improve us, and at that age where I imagine City will be looking move him on soon.

LV Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 Yeah I’m not a fan at all. I think there are likely better options abroad, like Bruno. Just an opinion obvs but I’m not sold on him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stal Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 I watched a Tifo video on why he is so good, so since I'm clearly now Professor Football I think he'd be a fantastic edition under Eddie due to his ability and willingness to adapt to Howe's instructions.

SUPERTOON Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 Mount is almost the definition of a Eddie Howe player, I’m not his biggest fan and for the likely price and wages feel there are much better players out there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skeletor Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 Mason Mount would be great. Especially if we take advantage of a drop in his form/reputation to get a better deal. Although pretty sure Chelsea have flat out refused to deal with us recently. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smal Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 Mount is a good player but you have to play him in a particular system to get the best out of him it seems. Can’t see where we’d fit him in without completely changing things. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
arnonel Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 Some Midfielders I would like to target: Manuel Ugarte - Porto Alan Varela - Boca Florentino Luís - Benfica Johann Lepenant - Lyon Lucas Gourna - RB Salzburg Arthur Vermeeren - Antwerp Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rafalove Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 (edited) I’d like to see the following: Centre back: Scalvini. left back: Grimaldo, A Robinson. Centre mid: Lavia, Tielemans, Neves. Central attacking midfield: Maddison. wide right/ forward position: Roque, Pedro. Edited February 24, 2023 by Rafalove Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

buzza Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 Rice or Philips (after his great year at city) would elevate us another level. Maddison also, would unlock those close games where we just can’t seem to get through robust defending. With an up and coming striker and a couple of astute cheaper signings we would be ready to rock it with anyone!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think season 24/25 will see us make a significant impact on the establishment - it may be the season where we sign a couple of top end talents Going back to the summer - LB has to be sorted as a priority - then the 2 mids we are short of - It’s what we do in the forward areas that I struggle with - do we sign Maddison as a mid, then sign a 6? Leaving us to sign Thuram and Diaby for example? We need goals in this team - more option the better - I think our forwards will be Diaby and Maddison fwiw Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither of their clubs are doing well this season. Those two in the summer plus anything else and I'd be buzzing!
