MoroccanBlue 5,379 Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 City now signing Cancelo from Juve. That is Walker & Cancelo for Right back. This is just getting more and more depressing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigMabz 61 Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Question..... and it may seem silly. But even though we have an impending transfer ban, could we sign players and just not register them by sending them back on loan? I am wandering if there is a loop hole. Im thinking young players who maybe need 2 years to develop before being first team ready. Neres for example. (buy him and send him back to Ajax for 18 months while we go through three transfer windows). Obviously a long shot because most players might not be interested in this type of deal. Just doing my best Ed Sheeran impersonality by thinking out loud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, league performance is almost always a better barometer of how top a team is. And City have proven that. Yes they have underperformed at times in CL. But i know you love to take every opportunity to hate on pep and city. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depth is enormously important for league play, they have elite players like Sane who is fighting for playing time. While at others club he would be no question guaranteed starter. They had KDB who was out for good part of the season, and they did not miss a beat. In a long season City are champions because of their depth not necessary their quality against the best.

Just doing my best Ed Sheeran impersonality by thinking out loud. I'm sure workarounds can be found but I don't think it's possible the way you described. I think we'd have to register a player before we can complete an outgoing temporary transfer for him. On the other hand, I can't see how FIFA could stop us signing a binding contract now with a player and his club saying that he would be transferred to us in summer 2020.

Pizy 18,897 Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Shit. Icardi and Lukaku are going to swap clubs, aren't they? Conte has always fancied Rom and he's surely leaving United this summer. Just our fucking luck that a proper top class striker that I've desired for years is officially available and we are banned. The Hazard money could go straight to Inter for Icardi.

I've been one of his biggest fans too, but Wanda has far too much say nowadays.Someone like Haller is of more interest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
