Colos Short and Curlies Posted January 18, 2024 Share Posted January 18, 2024 £25-£30m for Longstaff with Tonali coming back and possibly Ederson (or similar) coming in for £35m makes more sense to me than selling Bruno for £80m (or even £100m). £5m for Big JL gives us £25m of FFP wiggle room now, a combination of Schar/Botman/Burn/Krafth/PaullyD should get us through to the summer, I'd only sell if the cash is to be used now however.

We just can't rely on him because he can't stay fit. If we could sell him and sign a similarly dynamic player with better end product, i'd put sentiment aside and go for it.

I watched them a few weeks and Amartey was getting boo'd every time he touched the ball - they just released Bailly too. I reckon this rumour is true.

Ikon Posted January 18, 2024 Share Posted January 18, 2024 2 hours ago, mighty__mag said: But i don't believe we buy one dimensional players anymore, so having people making sweeping statements about he plays this position or that isn’t helpful at all, especially when they literally looked them up 20 minutes before. For me the midfield seems to be full of players who can interchange, compliment each other, and switch swap. I don't think we pin our hopes on he's only capable of playing such a position these days, and when Howe could play his full deck of cards we could affect games differently, and you could see players were instructed to switch a fair bit. I just get mildly irritated by the likes acting like they know everything about a player they'd not even heard of five minutes before they saw a rumour on twitter. You are talking this and that and you’re very far from the simple point I’m making and you just don’t seem to get it, or refuse to see it. Let’s just leave it at that Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The transfer market is knackered, it needs turned off and back on again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Lascelles rumour is very true. This could be the end of fist pump. £5m plus bonuses apparently. So we shift Manq and Lascelles in 24 hours after the rumours about Edison. I think there is defiantly movement here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It won't be an issue next year, even if we make EC or EL I'd be happy to pad the bench with kids, you're then hoping that 1 or 2 step up enough to sit on the bench in the CL for 2025/2026.

We couldn't name a full CL squad because we were short of HG players. If Longstaff went and was only replaced with Miley and Ederson, as it currently stands we wouldn't be able to register Ederson for UEFA competitions.

And that was only a problem because the squad of non home grown players we have wasn't strong enough for the competition. I know we are poles apart but Man City only registered 21 players.
