I think the RW needs to be a striker hybrid personally. We can't get both.

Yeah this also works

Not that there are many of them out there like

 

Could do with Man City having another Palmer we don't know about.

We don't seem to do short term signings. Can't imagine there are many strikers of any standing available on loan, and we won't spend good money on a 30 year old.

Doesn't necessarily have to be short term only option, depends who's available, but it would be extremely risky, bordering on insanity, to think Isak can carry us the whole season, or that we can rely on Wilson at all, so it needs addressing now. If that means pivoting from our usual way of operating so be it, you have to be willling to do that sometimes.

Just on that subject there's an article today in one of the papers about young players Man City have let go which are spearheading Chelsea's push for the top. Cole, Adarabioyo and Lavia were mentioned. Pep really did seem to put too much faith in experience and technique and not putting enough attention on age and physicality.

I agree, but with us having been stung already by PSR you can understand why we are reluctant to go down that road.

We already have him, Alfie Harrison 😜

Eddie said recently that he expects us to be quiet in January.  I think that is the most likely outcome. 

[Stal]

I reckon we spurge a ton of moolah on about 7 players after agreeing a £60 billion bootlace sponsorship. 

[STM]

PSR has been talked about in windows where we have spent money and in windows where we haven't. I wouldn't read a great deal into it.

 

I certainly don't see us going wild. I think we will get 1 player in but if we can get a couple of bodies out, we might go again.

We’ve not spent much since they started handing out points deductions for PSR non compliance. 

[The Butcher]

PSV sorting their replacement?

Palace agree to 70 million for their super star defender and we in excess of 100 million spend in the summer, or even the 60 million for their true superstar in Olise. 

I think money is there to spend on the right player.

Not without offsetting that with a big sale.

We didn’t bid anywhere near that amount. Trust me.

Lozano leaving to MLS this window. More likely to replace him.

Yeah that just makes me sad.  

 

Him and Isak as two of a front three would just be so nasty. 

[Mike]

A Ben Arfa regen linking up with Bruno and Isak and getting passes from Tonali is fucking sickening to think about.

[Mike]

4:45 would have killed Ando, mind.

He would be my first choice as a RW option. Genuinely 2 footed so can ghost ppl both ways, insane football intelligence too.

 

Only issue is he isn't a Howe type player. Defending was always an afterthought but according to scout reports he has improved here too.

 

The prices quoted seem low too due to Lyons financial situation.

 

Please Mitchell veto this transfer on 1st January 

[toon25]

Would have Eze for close to 80 fucking mil over fucking Guehi, like

Perhaps. Even if the figure was 55 million, our transfer activity would still have been substantial, and it was  reported that we met Olise's release clause. which was also around 50 million or so.

Point still stands. We are capable of spending large amounts for what the club consider the right player.

Perhaps, but the club's much publicised pursuit of  Guehi suggests they had a plan to compensate for the acquisition, possibly through player sales as you say or other means, or maybe we have a bit of PSR wiggle room. Its all speculation and a matter of opinion. A matter of fact though is the club were willing to spend money for  Guehi.

He said without any player trading we would be quiet. Dubs and Miggy heavily rumoured to be going so that gives me some hope we'll do something.

While Man City have won the league nearly every season.
