Mhsc 1,097 Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 I do wonder what the long term plan is. Are we going to call it "done" after Cole and just add say ~1 big signing a year that enhances the XI? That seems hard to believe given we've got so many senior people who manage the squad. Our team is so young and stacked with talent that needs time to grow, we could be planning to pretty much stop doing business for a long time, or we might be planning to buy and sell a bunch every year, selling off people that have had their shot and not reached the level we want and replace them with the new U21 prospect we've scouted, or someone from the loan army that's grown a lot. Just hard to visualise what next summer might look like. Could imagine we could be selling Madueke, Gallagher, Ugochukwu, Carney, <insert random list of players - all respect to that list I just gave just wanted to pick some names for sake of argument> and replacing them with Angelo, Santos, etc from the loan army and then buy a new crop to loan out and perhaps the odd big signing to improve the XI?

Some regulars probably haven't even finished work yet and going to login and be like "who the fuck is Cole Palmer?" Welcome aboard Cole please score against City and do a massive run to Pep to slide on your knees right in front of him celebrating furiously Fernando 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it is bonkers but transfer values also are a bit related to salaries, if he is going to accept say 50k pw like Madueke/Gallagher is on then overall the spend annualised over his time here will be pretty cheap tbh.

Mhsc 1,097 Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 GKs Sanchez+Petrovic RBs Reece+Malo RCBs Disasi+Silva LCBs Colwill+Badiashile LBs Chilwell+Maatsen Pivot Enzo+Lavia Pivot Caicedo+Ugochukwu LAM Mudryk+Palmer SS Nkunku+Carney+Gallagher RAM Sterling+Madueke CF Jackson+Broja 23 not including Chalobah who I'm assuming is off, or Fofana who is broken, or the many randomers (Bettinelli) and kids we've got around the place that I'm assuming don't count in the target number based on Poch's previous comments. About what we were aiming for. I'm still concerned we don't have enough goals in the team but a lot will depend on so many players and how they work out. Maybe some people will emerge as big goal scorers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah we'll see I guess, Sterling was also predominantly LW historically so maybe they'll switch to play inverted, or maybe we want a rightie on the right and a leftie on the left?

Good thing is you can switch them constantly during the game, and Palmer can come inside and drift out wide when needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strike 7,489 Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 With the exception of Bernardo Silva, Pep has not stopped players from moving, even when it has been quality players. And like it was mentioned before, his education in a setup like City would be valuable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDA 9,938 Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 (edited) Check this out.. one of their fan channels who doesn't spout a load of bollocks. He is gutted. Think he says when Palmer has played on the RW he played 15 games with 11 goals and 5 assists or something like that. Most City fans are fuming.
