Seems very strange to go for him now, given the season hes just had. City will have tanked his value so it would be cut price I guess. Clearly has a lot of talent though so maybe de zerbi can unlock him. Its going to be very tough to sign top attackers off the back of two very bad campaigns.

On COYS the itk have said senesi and robertson basically done and that we are prioritising 3 positions to sign players in and are already talking to 1st choise and second choice in each of those positions and their clubs. So seems we wanna get business done early.

I find it interesting how many people wanna sell bentacur, after how good hes been since hes been back and how clearly he suits de zerbis system. Hes one of the las midfielders i'd be selling from the club.

No one knew who Kroupi was before this season.
The problem is that our scouting system identify Odobert and Tel for a combined 65m while Bmouth find Kroupi for 10m.

Every year there is another Kroupi. The club should be able to find these players.

To be fair I think with players like Bergvall and Kinsky we have found players of a similar profile. It’s hard to know how much of our shit transfer business is down to the scouts and how much to the people who sign the cheques.

We know that Levy was recommended Kvara and turned him down before he went to Napoli, for example. Then there are signings like Tel that have Levy’s stink all over them, where he has been conned by an agent or a selling club. Nobody with any football knowledge would watch Tel and think we needed to spend £40m on him.

I think our problems are less in identifying talent and more the absence of football expertise at executive level. Why did we buy Dragusin who is slower than a gravestone and can’t pass the ball? For a manager who plays out with a high line? Why did we give a manager like Nuno a feeble little mouse like Bryan Gil? We have to hope that RDZ is listened to and decisions are made based on a football strategy and not opportunistic spreadsheet fiddling.

Sign this guy and I'm not watching next season. It's unbeliveable the state of incompetence in this club, Jesus fuckign Christ, they are doing THE SAME SHIT AGAIN? For 3 season in a row now, or more, buying shite players for fees over 50 million, as if we hadn't seen that happen with Richarlison, Solanke and Johnson, is the same fucking history fucking again. Why the fuck can't we spend that money on decent players that are actually playing football like Mitoma or Scott? No, we have to go for a reject or spend on someone with blatant deficiencies on his game, like someone who can't control the ball or a winger that can't drible or beat his man. Jesus, it's so unbeliveable it must be deliberate, I can't stand that shit no more.

Very crazy reaction, he was excellent the season before, and he clearly can dribble and beat his man. It wont be 50m or anywhere near that his value has completely tanked.

Mitoma is 29, will be 30 next season and brighton demand huge fees for their players. Plus, mitoma has resisted leaving the entire time. We are linked heavily with scott.... and if rumours are true we are buying him and he is desperate to come... so chill. But, I will caveat that buying scott would likely mean we would need a lot of outs in cm. I wouldnt be suprised to see one of gray or bergvall leave if we do bring him in

We do find them, but then we dont play them, or they play for the wrong managers, or they get injured, or we buy them and everyoen kicks off saying we are wasting money on unproven youth, or they come here and cant handle the pressure of a big club... for every kroupi theres 100 wasted signings. Its really not that simple. Plus, Kroupi has has one half a good season in the prem, see how he does next season when clubs know about him and theres no more iraola.
 
Only 10 maybe 12 players good enough to stay is pretty harsh but a cold truth from Roberto. Based on who he kept playing and seemed to like

Kinsky
VDV
Porro
Kudus
Kulusevski
Simons
Gallagher
Palhinha
Tel
Udogie
Maddison
Danso

A little bit scary because bergvall got next to nothing under RDZ. Feel he could be out if someone makes a good offer . May be first test for club how far he'll be backed if he wants to start getting rid of club signings like gray, bergvall, Tel

Then there's a couple of Lange specials to come back in Yang min and takai
 
People not keen on savinho should take a look at Grealish’s numbers when he moved from villa to city….


He coaches the individual unpredictably out of a player - not a good thing
 
Would rather have Summerville than savinho. Think they’d be available for similar fees. Savinho just looked so half arsed whenever he played this season. Don’t think we need any more players with that kind of mentality.

He likes Gray. Always coming on, even on Sunday and name checked him a lot including future Tottenham captain. Not sure he seems that keen on Simons, picked him out of necessity really and obviously crocked until the New Year. Like you i think Bergvall might be a shock exit. Possibly a loan.

Bergvall may turn out great, but hes been so massively overrated on here because he can dribble a bit and gets stuck in. Never massively been a fan, I think he needs a loan if anything the kid needs to play but hes not ready to start for us if we have ambitions of Europe again.
