Absolutely shocking imagine being the centre forward with that lot wide.
Rather have Maddison, Gallagher, Solanke and Porro and save the money
Leao might prove me wrong but not with the other three stinking it out

I’d cum myself into a coma if we signed Osimhen. Think I’m safe though.
The rest of the players we are being linked with?
Big club cast-offs and relegation bargain buys.

I'm not really sure a career in Turkey is a point proven, let alone Saudi.
Not in the context of trying to get players who can play Premier league football.
I also have no idea what the hit rate is like for teams like Palace and Brighton etc. How many do they punt on that never make it?
Not happening. Don't do it to yourself.
Who are you're ideal options?
I see alot of people knocking other peoples suggestions but I really dont know what or who they expect given the lack of options out there and considering we are building from 2x 17th place finishes.
KDB while our other attackers get fit???

Not just expensive purchases, the players i listed were all obtainable and not expensive at all. My point is, there are plenty of players who are now coveted by the top 3 or 4 sides in the league, who moved to other PL clubs for cheap, and for some inexplicable reason, we didn't sign them. Now we have missed the boat as they have better options or the other clubs will ask 100 million for them.
So it's not about spending big sums, it's about being better at scouting.
But whilst we are on the point about spending money. Yes, if we want to get to the top, we will need to show ambition by spending big on proven PL players.
If the board are serious about competing, we should be throwing 80 million down for MGW. We need to do a mix of signing elite talent in waiting before they become big, and spending big money on proven PL players who are stars at other clubs.
But our problem is we are doing neither. Our last big hit in the transfer market was Son 10 years ago. Since then we haven't signed a single player who has gone on to become an elite talent.
That is shocking.
Yes please.
Unbelievable player...even at 50% of prime City days I'd still take him.
I can think of worse ways to go

Don't hate that the idea but considering all the injuries he's had the last few years we would probably have to wait for him to get fit pretty soon as well.
Apparently we have bid for Rashford?
Oh, I'm sure the club is going to sell him. I was just wondering why - and imagining what he would do if we told him he had a role to play in the upcoming season.
Does he like to work hard the whole game or just a few minutes here and there. And does he like cake, a lot? Just making sure he's not the new Ndombele.
The thing is that none of those players were "elite talent" when they were signed, the were young potential that have become very good due to a lot of trust and playing time.
That's why they went to the clubs that they went to.
People here are already writing off Bergvall and Gray, saying that they need loans and you yourself are writing off young Odobert who has suffered two major injuries since he's been with us (and he's 21 and 'only' cost 20m, not really big money).
We're in that tricky spot where if we want to be competing for the top honours, it's bloody hard to put faith in young players and even more so when you're experienced players aren't actually very good.
Plus, the rest of the EPL is so rich now, even the smallest clubs can snap up everything but the very brightest young talents and can give them proper gametime.
nothing on you, i just hate tha prick gay-z

Yes.
Bloke is toxic.
It's not a coincidence that he constantly falls out with players/boards, and whoever else.
Could actually see our crew bidding on Rashford, he ticks some of their boxes, left winger needed, prem experience and most importantly will be relatively cheap. Wages would be an issue as would be keeping him motivated. On his day he can terrorise defences, just doesn't have enough of those days. RDZ did work wonders with players like Welbeck and Milner, just not sure Rashford has the necessary fight and desire.

I'm not suggesting we overhaul the whole squad, it was RDZ who said it, saying he only seen a dozen being of the desired quality. However, we all know we won't address everything, we rarely address the necessary. The two freebies are a good start, but shifting players will be as important as getting others in, another thing we have historically been poor at. We need a lot of ruthlessness this window.
As for players at 30m, that doesn't mean they are all mediocre, look at likes of Kroupi signed for much less, it can be done. What I did say is I don't trust out current so called leaders , such as Lange , to get it right.
