Levy, vinae and lange working round the clock to improve the squad.

If BEK is the very best they can manage when they've got circa 120m burning a hole in our pocket then God help us.

Im anxiously waiting for savinho news to drop.
 
I wasn't aware there was a story....... Just aware that in a perfect world we would sign a couple.

I'd rather:

2 x #10s + a RB
than
1 x #10 and a LW.



Which isn't dissimilar to what I said.

A RB? Why? Porro and Djed will cover that.

LCB that plays LB has to be our biggest priority for a defender imo. Even if you think Djed is the starting LB, then he’d still go to RB and Udogie LB if Porro couldn’t play.

I’m with you on LW though. Unless the player is genuinely special.
 
I was thinking why would Rodgers come here, but he’s not on a big salary at the moment and I don’t think Villa have got space to increase it all that much. He probably feels undervalued there. Think it’s possible. The hard thing is agreeing a fee. If we turned his head with a good offer, maybe he would ask to leave. Long shot but you wouldn’t rule it out completely
Of the 3 English 10s he’s the best
 
Sure... But he'd be the last of their front 6 that I'd seek to single out as a weakness.....

Cordova-Reid (32) / Vardy (38) / Ayew (33)
BEK (20)
Winks (29) + Soumare (26)​

...Brutal.
His goal contribution also lagged his silky flair moments in the Belgian league, as it has done for Morocco.

He's young (though not THAT young) and may improve, I get it, but I just don't think he's fit for our current purposes.
 
Man City on paper have a stronger team than Liverpool or Woolwich IMO but they are screwed if Pep’s fire in the belly is no longer there. Pep is an emotional guy if he has checked out they are going to just go through the motions.

Man City absolutely do not have a better tean on paper or in reality than Livrrpool or Woolwich. No way. ,Sadly, even or maybe so it should be after the amount they have spent might Chelsea..

Unless they sort their defensive weakness,I think it's 3-horse race fir the title, as it stands

I just don’t really trust us to do the Paz or Akliouche deals at all at this point, and think that a 10 is a non-negotiable necessity. And if we are actually to buy Savinho, surely there’s no way we allocate £60m towards Akliouche or Paz as well, right? It’s extremely difficult to see two of those huge deals coming off before window’s end.

I don’t know. I think Savio+BEK makes sense. I don’t buy Akliouche or Paz as being all that realistic.

Frank said he expects one player to be signed. Maybe he meant minimum, maybe he meant one.

Can't fob Spence off back to the bench........ He's killing it. That'd be poor management.

He's #1 LB until such time that Udogie can depose him.

Which leaves us with no #2 RB........... Fair enough if we get someone that can play both sides but we only have 3 FBs as stands.... That's not enough.

CB I'd stick with:

Rom / VDV
+ Danso, Vusko, Davies

A new one isn't essential and there's little likelyhood of attracting anyone better than squad padding at this juncture.

I’m with you on LW though. Unless the player is genuinely special.

Personally I'd probably be happy with Savinho and BEK and preferably a LB. That's obviously a little disappointing, when a week ago, I went along with the shit and started dreaming of Eze, Savinho and Hincapie
