Yeah, if Reece gets injured we’re in trouble once again.

Ruben at RWB probably.

Yuck. One of Ruben’s most annoying traits is his awareness (or lack thereof). In midfield he gets caught napping or just slowly jogging around nonchalantly. Having him do that as a wingback for any extended length of time sounds terrible.

It was always probably unrealistic to expect us to sign another super expensive LWB in Cucurella as well as a new RWB. But it leaves us pretty short of quality if James does a hammy or something again.

You can’t have two world class players for one position 🤣

if Haaland does a hammy  ,city must sign a new haaland ? This is football you should have and luck in your team

Actually from what i've seen and heard Haaland's 'back up' is a lot more suited to Pep's style.

If we sign fofana actually I don’t care about azpi he will be benchwarmer. 
If Reece James gets injured  we have and challobah for Rwb position .

Chalobah is a good second choice he is a good defender not perfect but ok

If Haaland does his hammy they also bought Alvarez who some think will eventually be even better.

But anyways, we didn’t need to sign some top class new RWB to backup James. Just someone who can actually run, contribute a little to the attack, and not get ripped apart in open space defensively. Azpi has looked really poor for a while now. He’s still capable of the odd class performance, yes.

If we sign fofana, I guess its okey

Chilwell (Cucurella)

Thiago, KK, Forfana (Chalobah/Azpi/Cucurella)

Reece (Azpi)

I think its okay 

lets see if we sign both cucu and forfana

Colwill going to Brighton permanently with a reasonable buy back clause was a great deal. If we now try to get cute and insist that it’s only a loan (which Brighton would be kinda dumb to accept) and screw up this deal I’m gonna be pissed.

Why? We are paying the full valuation on Cucurella. Why should Brighton dictate how we should sell or loan Colwill?

We want the best deal for ourselves at the end of the day. Both deals are supposedly separate, so the ball should be in our court.

If they were to lower the price as a result, that would be a different story.

Because they have him under a long contract and apparently will ONLY sell if Colwill goes the other way. Them basically renting him for a year in exchange for their best player is a shit deal for them.

That makes no sense and puts Brighton in a fragile position moving forward as they will be known to change goal posts. They had a valuation on Cucurella, we met it and reliable journalists are saying it’s signed. They want us to work with them on Colwill as good gesture, however we are only looking for the best interest for ourselves. Did Brighton give us a discount on Cucurella? No, they didn’t. We owe them nothing.
