How Dry should our Powder be?

We only got him bcos of the classic levy model of getting a freebie. Does anyone think we would have got him if we had to pay say £20M. He needs to go plus his injury record is not great. Get rid and cancel timo and proper quality in Neto. That’s what we should have done if we’re a proper club. But no we had to announce timo few days after season finished when he was still injured. Stinks to me that deal on full wages. Also just go out abd get eze and stop messing about with the likes of Ramsey and Gallagher. Again those two would be just adding poly filler to the squad.

really don't get what all these teams see in him tbh. hopefully madrid wrap this up quick

We have Sarr who can do all the running and pressing he gives us and should increase his goal involvement this year too.

Then we have Bergvall coming through who is a totally different stratosphere technically to Gallagher.

If he replaces Skipp or Bentancur for depth then fine but even then he’s going to demand massive wages
 
Felt for a while since that sticking to original targets comment that its Gallagher, Eze and Neto and maybe one of those young left backs we've been linked with. Then a striker if we sell Richarlison, which i dont think we will. Think that is as good as it will get at this stage but doing all that is another matter.
I think you’re spot on with this.

Explains why we’re moving at sloth speed as well I think. Eze as others have mentioned will need to have his release clause triggered which will be a lot of money up front - probably why we’re haggling so hard with Milan for Royal.

Gallagher - Chelsea would ideally not want to sell to us and will jack the price up if they do - so we’re playing the waiting game.

Neto - Wolves want big money but are likely to be more desperate at the end of the window

I’m not saying any of this is a good plan and we’ve all seen us shit the the transfer window bed multiple times before. I do believe these are the targets though.

Think you are right except Gallagher.

Neto, Eze and the LB. Those are the 3 signings imo. Then Gyokeres or a striker if Richy goes to Saudi
 
Would help if the forwards pressed. Cannot believe we’d spend £40M plus on someone who can press. We need players with some magic like eze and Neto not bloody cart horses. We are supposed to be a football team. Who do city have like that? They all bloody work hard to win the ball back.



He obviously has other qualities besides just pressing
 
I cannot see this happening to be fair.

Would personally forgo the backup full back and Gallagher for an attacker that suits our system, and doesn’t have massive injury concerns.
Eze basically.

Get him in and the window is a 6 or 7. Loads of dross cleared, 1 senior player that gets in the first 11 and can play a couple of positions. Decent crop of young players emerging and bought - you’d expect at least a couple to make it.

We will have had far worse
 
Never bought the Gallagher rumours, might have been a goer in Jan if Chelsea were willing sellers but seems clear we moved on to other targets with the signings of Bergvall and Gray. Our name clearly just used to hurry Atletico along.
