City fans state he plays better with a recognizable ST, and on the right.

Another step backwards for RLC in a season where he needs to make an impact.

We are going to look like losers one way or another. Everyone and their dog know we are desperate for players so they will charge heavily.

I'd fucking love one of Sane or Gnabry.

DiMarzio claiming we are but not sure if he's just recycling news.

Yeah not sure why we aren’t after Skriniar.

I’d love to be the fly in the room when Barca ask Raphinha to take a wage cut in 2 years time.

So they’re signing both Dembele and Raphinha after weeks it would only be one or the other?

And you believe this source automatically?

The Athletic article states Tuchel wants to steer towards a back 4 in the future.

The cant activate second economic lever until end of July. (Laporta’s interview). They also still need a major sale.

Who is nowadays? Phillips really the only natural one. Think Tuchel wants a double pivot with two box to box central midfielders with defensive attributes, ala Rice and Nunes.

It's been rather quite on the CB front. (Bar Ake) Feel we will know more this week.

Let's be real, neither Kounde or Gvardiol would come to City to get Ake minutes. They'll sign neither.

Good thing Graeme Bailey isn't reliable.

Are we still not after the Portuguese fella? Think he will provide some reassurance if we move to a back 4.

Can see him getting the captain's armband. Will give our young players a player to look up to in Silva's absence.

For us. Barcelona are no closer to matching our offer (in terms of up front payment), and Xavi has been stressing to the Barcelona board they he prefers Dembele over Raphinha, to which they can't sign one or the other. (if they could resign Dembele, they'd of done it already).

Think there is confidence in the Raphinha deal.

What number?

There should be no worry with Raphinha. Just from watching him regularly you can see he is tailor made for Tuchel.

Lewa would be fantastic

Broja will join next week
