of the names I still see linked the ones in bold are the most likely at this point

    
Jamal Musiala fantasy
Randal Kolo Muani  (£85m is what Frankfort says is the price or GTFO)
Dusan Vlahovic
Darwin Núñez (lol)
Jonathan David  
Raphinha 
João Félix 
Jadon Sancho 
Jeremie Frimpong
Eberechi Eze
Ansu Fati  (hell NO)
Amine Gouiri   
Emile Smith Rowe (but too much money I wager)
Ivan Toney (January, but not if they demand £80m, which is madness)
Pedro Gonçalves  
Pervis Estupiñán 
Rayan Cherki  
Jean-Clair Todibo 
Ferran Torres 
Marcus Edwards
Thiago Almada
Gift Orban 
Bradley Barcola 
Antonee Robinson  

You forgot Palmer lol

Honestly I've got no beef with us picking up 'scraps' from City, should have taken Lavia, Gabriel Jesus and Zinchenko too when they were up for sale. Minimum is that the people they let go become very useful squad players wherever they go. They don't let bad players even exist in the first team squad.

Seeing statements like "City may not want to sell to a rival" 🤣 like saying Rotherham is a threat to us

We're not going to be of any threat to City in the short term but surely anyone looking at the squad we're building should think we could be onto something eventually.

Chilwell, Colwill, Badiashile, James, Gusto, Enzo, Caicedo, Lavia, Nkunku, Sterling, Jackson etc. is a great core for the next years IMO. There are still some question marks over long term suitability and quality of our GKs, RCBs and some of the wingers but at this point in the project that's to be expected.

we have had a 35M bid rejected by City

[Gundalf 805]

Rumor gone as quickly as it came up lol

If we get him I’m just curious where Poch sees him. As someone mentioned on the last page Sterling has started the season brilliantly on that right side of our attack. But it appears that’s Palmer’s best position. His next most natural position seems to be the #10 area. But what happens eventually when all of Nkunku, Carney, and Gallagher are fit?

Inside LF with Chilwell operating the width as a LB. 

We have a lot of options and versatile players which can have the side play numerous formations and systems.

He is not worth anything over 35m.

In this day and age of hyper inflated fees there was obviously no chance City were going to sell one of their brightest youngsters for £35m. We’re going to have to pay an uncomfortable amount for him if we want him. For a kid who has barely played it’s a huge risk.

Lavia, Gabriel Jesus and Zinchenko

we ended up with Lavia

Jesus is injured too often

and Zinchenko is overrated IMHO. he is poor defensively

[Special Juan 28,133]

Ongoing negotiations for Palmer happening now, City want 45M, Palmer wants the move, deal will get done for 45M

This will get done
