I seriously doubt we're getting Alexis. Only if Alexis himself pushes for a move he might join us but I think we have little to no chance. 

Agreed.

-Arsenal missing out on Cl first time in decades

-Wenger extends his contract

-Then Sell your best player to your biggest rival. Their fans might riot if they did that.

And they should, because what's going on at Arsenal is utterly and utterly ridiculous.

So there is a chance? since both of us might have underestimated their incompetency.

The Payet problem West Ham faced back in January shows a player has more power than a club has.

If Sanchez wants Chelsea, and Chelsea can pay Arsenal, they have to accept. And to be honest, Arsenal fans should accept his decision if it happens. Shows Alexis is ambitious.

Not much bothered by missing out on B.Silva even though I rate him. 1) we were hardly linked with him. 2) there are plenty of good options out there.

what bothers me a bit though is we are most consistently linked with Bakayoko and Lukaku, two players I can't get excited about. While City are strongly linked with Mendy, Fabinho, B.Silva, etc who I rate and enjoy watching.

If people are going to use lines like "Their board are not wasting time unlike like us" can we have some substance to confirm that our board are wasting time please?

People are obviously going by past windows. I hope we have one big signing before the Confed Cup.

Pretty much what LAM09 said. As far as last one being Alonso who I think dragged over a month. I remember reading we want him ages ago and we weren't even linked to another LB. When was the last time we got rumored about signing someone and in less than a day confirmation excluding last day transfers? I think last one from memory, done relatively fast was Cesc.

Transfers aren't FIFA17, and all this so called 'Panic' is coming because City have signed one player, one player. I said earlier, we have a cup final tomorrow and even forgetting that, who's to say we are not setting the foundation and are ready to announce signings next week?

I cannot believe I am having this debate with a transfer window not even open and not only that, but our season isn't finished. Come on lads, seriously.

I'm not panicking at all. Just don't want another deadline rush like previously windows that I mentioned in Luiz's thread a few days ago IIRC.

Confed Cup starts 17th June, so that's exactly three weeks tomorrow. Nainggolan or Bellotti would be a perfect start.

Good signing. 

But not what City need. 

They are not going anywhere if they keep this up. 

They need better defenders. 

[MrExcalibur100 7,124]

   I don't see the big deal here. He's not a great goalscorer and he's not the creative force De Bruyne is. He's the heir apparent to Silva but it's more of a signing for the long term rather than one that will drastically boost the strength of their first XI. 

  The main reason in my opinion why City were underwhelming was because they lacked goals in the first half of the season with Aguero being their only player to score more than 10+ goals. A lot of creativity but only one goalscorer. Gabriel Jesus in the 2nd half of the season has performed as expected and looks like a consistent goalscoring threat, despite being injured. Pep has also shown he's willing to play both Aguero and Jesus together.

  But if they sign both Walker and Mendy, I think it's time to start getting worried. Nevertheless, we still have a huge game to negotiate tomorrow. Once it's over though, no fucking around Granovskaia, Emenalo and co. Time to get to work.

Official now, that's a board right there not wasting time like us. Judging from Conte's comments saying he wants to complete his team for CL next season instead of upgrading the team, I'm skeptical we will even search for a new RW, LB or RB to be honest. We will see.

Not wasting time like us 🤣. People are fucking mental. We've just won the league,THE LEAGUE! tomorrow itll be a DOUBLE hopefully and already we've got numpties slating the club (despite having zero knowledge of what our plans are) for not signing a player unheard of by most 12 months ago. City need all BUT another tricky winger. If they'd have gone out and signed a couple of tasty CB or a good GK I'd be thinking good business. But honestly not concerned about this guy. Seriously calm your tits people

Class.

I swear some guys on this forum are getting on like B.sliva is the new Messi or Ronaldo it's not the end off the world missing out on B. Sliva theres other players out there the like of Mbappe BvB Dembele Sanchez Bernardeschi

[Leif 6,006]

Since signing Hazard, none of our rivals have signed an equally if not better player. It doesn't begin with this.
Until a player who surpasses Hazard is brought in at a young age to one of the Manchester clubs everything's calm on our side of the lake.

[King11Didier 916]

Silva will be definitely one to watch next season, really good player, but I can only hope he doesn't show his full potential with man city. They are gonna spend a lot this summer, Pep is a big spender and especially after finishing 3rd this season and not being in the battle for the 1st place, he will surely try to bring some new faces to the club. And we can be sure, that they will all gonna be world class, city can afford that.
 

[Thor 2,392]

Eh, I agree with the wes above. 

The thing that separates a lot of the best footballers these days is physical traits on top of skills. Silva just doesn't have it, nor do I think he will have it. He isn't fast, strong, or hard to push off the ball. Hazard had all of this coming to Chelsea, and it simply took him a little bit of time to put it together. With someone like Mbappe for example. He has the physical tools as well as the skills to go on top. 

I don't think if we miss out on him it will be the end of the world.
