Yet when we were linked with Andy Robertson and Conor Gallagher, there is uproar.Mate, if we stay up we are desperate for a few players who actually know how to play in the Premier League.
I'd obviously take your list over mine.Too young imo. We need experience throughout the team. If it was up to me, and we’re serious about spending money (which I seriously doubt) I’d go:
Pickford/Verbruggen/Kelleher/Atubolu
Antonee Robinson/Nathaniel Brown
Locatelli
Ederson
Yan Diomande/Ndiaye
Summerville
Marmoush
And a number 10 depending on how Maddison is when he returns. Possibly Gibbs-White?
Bin off:
Vicario
Dragusin
Palhinha
Bissouma
Bentancur
Kolo Muani
Onana from Villa, Groß from Brighton and Harry Wilson. Those kind of guys if we stay up.Yet when we were linked with Andy Robertson and Conor Gallagher, there is uproar.
Diouf and Trafford are prem players.
Ramos is better than, say, Watkins.
Nusa and Bouaddi are young exciting players.
The issue we have, is the prem players have all seen what a shit show Spurs is.
Someone like Ndiaye? Is he really leaving Everton for us currently?
Rashford is one I'd go hard for actually.
We've already seen it, and it did not.Watched bits of Kean this season. Without him Fio were dead and buried.
Whether his strong no 9 quality would transfer to the EPL is the big question.
There are still some excellent players in Italy. I remember in the summer, someone telling me Nico Paz was shit, he'd be the best player on our team by a huge margin.Italian football is dead. Shouldn't be looking there for players.
There will be some anomalies, for sure.There are still some excellent players in Italy. I remember in the summer, someone telling me Nico Paz was shit, he'd be the best player on our team by a huge margin.

I just don't think yours is realistic.
Diomande is choosing us over Liverpool, United and Barcelona??
Why would Pickford and Ndiaye leave Everton?
I forgot to add Anthonee Robinson. Big fan of his. But him and Diouf are similar level imo.
Marmoush is a pipe dream imo. If he became available, better sides than us will take him.
Just depends on what his motivation is?It’s definitely fanciful, I’m not disputing that. That’s why I predicated it with “if we’re willing to actually spend money”. If we spent in the manner befitting of a club of size and revenues, none of those players would be unrealistic. They’re all at clubs that are beneath us in either terms of stature of club and/or league, revenues or location, if not current league position. Marmoush is the only one that isn’t, but does he want to be a Haaland’s understudy his whole career? Cause that’s all he’ll ever be at City.
