Who knows if this is true, but from what I've read about Ange he will not want to keep any player who doesn't want to be at his club or who doesn't 100% buy into his philosophy
I'm not too bothered about Romero staying or going tbh.
Dunk is good but Brighton is his level.Lewis Dunk anyone? English. A lot better than Maguire. Just had a great season
Dunk is good but Brighton is his level.
And “English” is not an attribute !
Yep , couldn't give a fuck whether Romero stays or goesDon’t give a toss about selling Romero, a truly top defender doesn’t have his attitude.
But dear god if we replace him with Maguire…![]()
Raya, Guehi, Kilman or Colwill, ScottHomegrown matters tho. Doesn't need to be a CB.
Raya
Guehi
Kilman
Tomori
Colwill
Barnes
Eze
Maddison
Scott
All HG, how many do we need?
Do a swap with AC for Tomori? Would help with the HG situationDon’t give a toss about selling Romero, a truly top defender doesn’t have his attitude.

Raya, Guehi, Kilman or Colwill, Scott
Raya and Scott are the 2 no-brainers for me.
Even if I was hoping we'd find a bigger GK, the rumours that Pickford is a target or Maguire might be needed as HG, Raya kills both those necessities and he's a decent keeper.
Scott can play the 8 and should fit short and long-term for Ange.
Would still get Eze as well.
Colwill is the dream signing but long shot.
Barnes as a squad option is a great shout.
How many HG does the squad need?
Lavia is HG?In European football, to register a full 25 man squad, you need eight HG players where at least four of them have to be club trained
I think the EPL rules are a little different. You are allowed to register 17 foreigners and eight HG but I don’t think there's anything about club trained players anymore
Whilst the big boys are fighting over Caicedo, Ugarte, Kone and Thuram we should poach Lavia who would also be HG
Why not?
If you watch any of the clips on YouTube of him talking to his players, Postecoglou demands all of his players work hard for the full 90 minutes and calls them out when they start to get lazy.He’s never disrespected the club or fans.
We are paying him. We are now getting a coach who plays a cm3 with two 8’s.
If by some chance he could make him work, it could save us a fortune and we’ve have a very good footballer.
Lavia is HG?
Joined City in 2020, been in England since so needs a year or 2 more?
Even if he will be HG, get him in as your 6 and when he's ready, what a player.
