BoSelecta Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 Would love to know why they didn’t fancy him for us, he looks like the real deal - certainly when you consider we really wanted Ekitike who was in a similar ‘raw with a huge upside’ category. I assume we can compete with Dortmund on wages. Presumably they thought it was too much of a risk for where we are. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaqen Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 Wish I could just switch off and wait for the confirmed transfers out of nowhere to happen. Know I'll be checking this thread daily regardless though. At least we won't have the daily Paqeuta posts or people begging Ando for info this summer. At least I hope Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alberto2005 Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 (edited) Can we really afford to go into the season with Lascelles as our backup center back ? Edited June 1, 2023 by Alberto2005 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be, it seems that we want a playmaker type forward though (Maddison, Szoboszlai, etc). Unless they're also being brought in to cover one of the midfield places.

Unless they're also being brought in to cover one of the midfield places. I think they are hence why I think they might go for Szoboszlai over Maddison as an 8. He’s more adaptable to both positions along with he fits the bill of over 6ft and physically better than Maddison. What extra they may need to pay in fees if any they will save in wages with him. Have a feeling it will be Thurman for the 6. I don’t think it will be Tierney for the 3. Think all the noise with him is coming from the Arsenal end.

Rodri lead City for league games this year and he's played - but for two games - DM. De Bruyne has played either CM or AM. I didn't say we should never sign versatile players. I said we have several that fit that mould, now we need specialists. That's why Pep spent 100m on a player that he's only using as a left winger. Are you trying to imply that Stones, Walker and Bernardo weren’t massive parts of City’s team this season? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
timeEd32 Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 I don’t think I agree with the premise that seems to imply a “specialist” is superior to a “versatile” player. We’re also not playing in remotely the same financial stratosphere as City, so if anything players that offer the ability to play multiple positions are probably more valuable to us right now.

Pretty sure we will still get a RCB but Botman, Schar, Lascelles, Burn and Krafth as backup is already there. Interested to see how Alex Murphy, McArthur and Savage have developed this year too. Kelland watts is coming back from loan too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ikon Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 (edited) God damnit @SUPERTOON I was literally annoyed at work this morning for a few seconds when i read that tweet, thinking of course fucking Dortmund or Leipzig would get him. Also thinking that watch him go to RM or City in a couple of seasons for around/plus 100m. Edited June 2, 2023 by Ikon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
