It’s easy to say that but 6 senior players for 3 places is overkill
Dani Alves is available on a free - as is Marcelo. Two legendary wing-backs on each wing. Unfortunately, one is 39 and the other 34...
He'd be in the England squad, and probably team instead of Maguire, if Southgate wasn't such a moron.
Kulu flopped at Juve. I don’t want Sabitzer but a bad run doesn’t mean a players shite
we dont need that type of player now.
Still 100% relevant (and probably correct) with that lot though
I'm not sure we should put too much stock in the contract length, this merely puts pressure on the selling club to accept the fact the player could leave, sooner, and on less than they would ideally seek for him. That being said, if the player is hot property, there will be lots of clubs interested, which will drive the price up, resulting in a hefty transfer fee.
£35m for a proven PL player is still a very reasonable price, especially one with future resale value.
Spurs never really had a chance once Man City showed interest in him anyway, and now his price will be around £40-45m
He'll sort out one of Man City's 2 "major" - LB & CF - weaknesses last season. ( Haaland sorted the CF problem out).

The time in question we had the following all injured:
Kane, Son, Berg, Lamela, Sissoko, Davies...... The whole starting line-up was fucked..... Our MF/attack consisted of Dele, Lucas, Winks & Gedson ffs!
We've also seen Lucas score 2 at OTrafford and 3 in Amsterdam as a central figure even though it's a less than ideal measure.
So if Kane gets injured you want to play Son as CF and move a MF player into Son's position rather than have 2 proper CFs in the first team?
Seems like Conte wants to offload Moura, so bringing Richarlison would solve all our attacking options imo as he can play CF well, and left or right.
So we'd have as forwards Kane Richarlison Son Kulu.
I don't get what you mean by having 6 senior players for 3 places? Even if Moura doesn't get offloaded that's still only 5 not 6 forwards.
Lucas can be excellent on a good day.
most likley. That being said you never really know the motivation for a player. Many have gone to city and seen their careers tank. I guess players should be bold and confident in their abilities but sometimes it's a better career move to consider more than money.
problem is those other 364 days
Agree re Richarlson covering Kane or Son. Thought you meant sign Rich, and another 9 (assuming Lucas stays).
Pre-PEH ... with Skipp coming back that slot is filled now.
Ref: Lucas
It's clear to see the sentiment across the fanbase. He has pulled it out the bag a couple of times for us. Keeps his head down, appears to be a good trainer and doesn't kick up a fuss. I don't however see much of a place for him, and coming on late where possession is key he's weak. If we could flip for £15-£20m I would thank him and be left with fond memories. If his contract ran down, I wouldn't hold it against him.
I just feel we could use his fee and place to better effect.
