Mikky Posted December 18, 2024 Share Posted December 18, 2024 1 hour ago, Whitley mag said: Bakayoko would offer us the trickery and can go both ways, obvious caveat being it’s the Dutch league and been a few flops from there. Last 2 PSV wingers been canny - Gakpo and Madueke It’ll boil down to the level of scouting in terms of how much we have watched him and what his underlying stats are - YouTube compilations can be biased Kubo is probably your most guaranteed success and fits our profile the best - but I wouldn’t mind Bakayoko either - just want a RW Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted December 18, 2024 Share Posted December 18, 2024 Dibling is exactly the profile that we will look at. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzza Posted December 18, 2024 Share Posted December 18, 2024 Would love Dibling, most exciting young player I have seen in a while. We would need to buy in Jan, I reckon if he keeps playing like he is now he will be way off our scale... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BonesJones Posted December 19, 2024 Share Posted December 19, 2024 Not exactly a transfer rumour but just needed to highlight what a fuckin' idiot this bloke is. When asked where Grealish should move to, Deeney told talkSPORT: “Newcastle, easy. There’s loads of teams, anyone outside the top four. “Anyone outside the top four, he would easily go into and dominate, if he went to Newcastle, it would be considered a massive step down for him. “But it’s a great club with a great fanbase and I think Jack needs to feel that again, feel that he’s loved, feel that the fanbase love him, but also he’s the man to drive them forward.” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Groundhog63 Posted December 19, 2024 Share Posted December 19, 2024 Ps while we're talking about Man City's left wing they could do alot worse that Harvey Barnes there. He'd bag a shit load. Grealish and Doku piss fart about too much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexf Posted December 19, 2024 Share Posted December 19, 2024 (edited) Doku is great, I hear alot of criticism of him but I think he's a fantastic talent and far from the problem at City. Would love him here. There's few players as exciting as him around anymore when they get the ball. Edited December 19, 2024 by alexf Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ9 Posted December 19, 2024 Share Posted December 19, 2024 (edited) Dibling would be my top target for that position for a variety of reasons, talent, profile, cost, PSR etc. Would avoid Rashford at all costs. If we could stretch to a GK or a CB as well for development that would be a class Jan. Edited December 19, 2024 by AJ9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt1892 Posted December 19, 2024 Share Posted December 19, 2024 The question mark over Dibling will be his attitude, hopefully he has matured but the move might be too soon for him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingxlnc Posted December 19, 2024 Share Posted December 19, 2024 (edited) Here's a shortlist GK - Kelleher / Trafford CB - Skrinar on loan til summer, get Silva, Diomande or another highly rated young RCB in summer, Harwood-Bellis as secondary CB too RW - Dibling in the summer (can't see Soton letting him go in Jan) - would love a Kubo level player but may not be possible. Got a feeling they may try and sign Sane from Bayern, Guler on loan would be amazing too. Madueke? Mbuemo. Raphina, Ferran Torres have been linked in the past too. Roony Bardjhi is another one and was recently pictured with Callum Wilson. CF - Kolo Muani on loan with option, Jonathon David, Cunha, Delap, Sesko in the summer Edited December 19, 2024 by kingxlnc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted December 19, 2024 Share Posted December 19, 2024 Harwood-Bellis is a good shout. Another one who fits our profile. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wants tge ball Brough to the box for Haaland. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That, and a good injury record. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to that article, they want 50 million Euros, we want to pay 30, Transfermarkt values him at 40. So presumably 40 million euros gets the job done unless someone else comes in. 40 million Euros is about £33 million currently. I wish we'd joined the single currency so my keyboard would have a euros symbol. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
