I’m really getting the vibe we are a Dortmund, try to stay near the top, but buying players to sell for profit is the real purpose.

Rogers would be great business. Can play either wing, LW being helpful for us, and feel he has potential to even fill in at CF when needed. Best mates with Cole as well from the looks of things. 

I really don't think Sesko, Gyokeres, Osimhen or anyone bar Isak are world class and surefire locks to bang in goals in the PL. So I think getting someone like Delap as competition for CF is fine and seeing how he pans out. 40 mil or whatever it is really isn't breaking the bank, and can move him on if he doesn't turn into what is expected. 

If we actually bought Delap & Rogers. We should go all out with the City youth squad reunion - Add Gittens into the mix & have another stab at pitching O'Reilly.

Feeder club. It's been clear for sometime with this "project" not going anywhere fast.

Not getting Dortmund vibes at all. 

People here are just spoilt and think rebuild means it happens in one or two years as we've previously been doing. Reality is it took City and a few other teams a few years to get it done. We were the most rapid and brutal with the way we did things - and in turn we were also the most up and down with success. 

I think they're trying to create an even deeper and more entrenched version of City - filtering youth into the top team and continuing the cycle for constant success and title challenges - on top of all that selling the young players for profit.

Noni will likely be sold for a decent transfer fee to help 'balance the books' (especially if we don't get UCL revenue next season). 

Balance the books? He cost us £30m when we signed him 😂

If Delap still prefers United he may need a brain scan. 

He is not the type of player we need…. if we sign him and don’t go after a more established and experienced CF this season then we need the brain scan 😂

If we have a Rogers on one wing and Cole on the other - or just goal scorers around the "striker" then we can get away with the Jackson/Delap type - ala Liverpool with Firmino. 

Saying that though - I think Delap on a better team becomes a decent goal scorer. From watching him he has nice technique with his striking and isn't afraid to crack it.

when you have ambitions and already won the PL you go and take top young talents like Wirtz , when you don't have ambitions you want mid table players on low wages speak about process and needs time

What on Earth have you been smoking?

If there were not enough red flags on Garnacho, he was whining on IG publicly about not starting after a lost EL-final.

I feel very bad vibes on him, no reflection on his face, seems an inconvenient guy who is not a good teammate. Bit like Mudryk, but too much confidence.  

Both Gittens and Garnacho are runners, that's not really what we lack. We need attackers who can break teams who are parking the bus.

Just thinking the way the results have fallen I hope Villa are forced to sell Morgan Rogers.

If we go for the same uninspired targets with CL secured gonna riot. Need to go after Gyorekes, Araujo, Yidiz.

Tomas Araujo the one playing for Benfica. Also Silva is back in form, I'd go for him 1st choice.
