Strike

There are still about 20 outgoings that need to happen. Kepa, Petrovic, Chalobah, Lukaku, Broja, D Fofana in sales Acheampong, Humphreys, Wiley, Casadei, Kellyman, Angelo, few more in loans and dead woods - Anjorin, Deivid, Moreira, Ugochukwu

Was hoping Mudryk goes but looks like Juve might come in for Raheem

You can't implement a possession game with keepers like Petrovic. No denying Sanchez has made mistakes but he's the keeper to keep around between the two if we hope to have a progressive keeper.

Could use a slimmer squad. There are about 50 players now lol

Because of what Maresca needs from the keeper, it makes sense to offload Petrovic.

Jorgensen, James, Tosin, Lavia, KDH, Neto, Nkunku Palmer, Samu All possibly in the starting XI. We will be a new team altogether this season

Neto's assists per minutes is only behind De Bruyne in the league. People flagging his lack of goalscoring should watch where he usually plays on the pitch. He's superb

Still in discussions about Osimhen

Petrovic had an average season. Most of his underlying numbers were among the worst for keepers. Not sure why he gets all this praise here. Between him and Sanchez, they've made the right call for Maresca's playing style

Do you ? Think you have got it wrong. Ferguson is couple of cms taller than Osimhen (Transfermarkt) and it isn’t only a direct comparison of height but also the type of forwards. Board has generally liked forwards that are target men

Their striker shortlist has largely thrown up physical beasts. Samu, Jhon Duran, Sesko, Gyokeres, Evan Ferguson. They are not as high on smaller players like Osimhen, Watkins, David, Alvarez

When its clear as day we are trying to push them out, why would clubs line up to pay a lot of money? They're not so good that they'd start a bidding war.

There was no market for Gallagher after he rejected Villa's offer. We are lucky to get 35m for him

Marc Guehi. Available for ~45m going by reports of our sell-on clause

Solanke for 65m? If we'd done that deal, this place would be rioting

Lot of reports now that this is not done yet. Alvarez yet to agree personal terms with Atleti

I have read this same thing here since April

We will have to care about numbers. We can't motivate and keep 30 + players in the squad. City usually keep under 25 players and play the same core over and over. Same with the successful teams elsewhere - like Madrid.

Going by Ornstein tweet, it looks like a straight swap between Connor and Samu. €40m

Julian Alvarez to Atleti is getting closer. Samu Omorodion to Chelsea. Lukaku/Osimhen swap still in play.

That would be sensible.

True - Looks like a lot of work Frustrating that we spent all those years with Havertz who was a technically good forward and threw it away to sign a youngster in Jackson and now signing someone even younger in Samu.

Mbappe, Rudiger and Alaba to Madrid recently. Ran down their contracts, left for free. Don't think any of them had serious bad blood with the club.
