I’d say no instantly to everyone you’ve named here except for perhaps Varane. He’s 100% not washed just very injury prone. When fit he was still easily United’s best CB according to their supporters.

Still only 31 and free. If he was interested in remaining in the PL I’d probably have him on a short term deal. 

agreed.
Seen good games from Matip, but he was very inconsistent at pool and is now 32.
We already have a CB who is never fit (Fofana) no need for another one (in Varane).

I'd like to emphasize the distinction between being available and being fit. Chilwell, for example, was somewhat available, but never fit (after a sequence).

Not familiar with Hermoso, but any CB from Atletico comes with a caveat: they usually play in a very low block.

Fuck off.

Chelsea will turn down any loan moves for Romelu Lukaku this summer in a bid to sell the Belgium striker in a permanent deal.

They are looking to recoup some of £97.5m they paid Inter Milan for him in 2021, with their asking price believed to be about £37m as the club aims to get the 31-year-old's £325,000-a-week wages off their books. 325 000 a week fucking hell get rid now

He is on less now after last year but still whoever gave him that contract in the first place is a complete moron.

I'm sure I read this last summer also.

We have a good chance with Alvarez because:

1) he's only 100k/pw

2) can promise starting spot which in City is not gonna happen 

3)  Pep have this philosophy when player says I want to leave he just says ok 

4) Enzo best buddy 

[Mário César 1,232]

I think I would prefer alvarez than sesko

This guy is amazing.. Made a name for himself playing well in Austria at a young age, but he has performed several horror shows for Leipzig and Bayern, not reliable at all. And somehow still made it to Deschamps' squad. Hope we miss out on him, stick with Adarabioyo.

[Mário César 1,232]

he really said this?

[Mário César 1,232]

 

I cant judge him, to be honest but lose him for free next year would be catastrofic for our financial situation

All true, but I doubt City will have entered this window thinking about having to spend a bunch of money on another striker. It’ll probably be pretty tricky to go out and try to convince a very good striker to come to City knowing that they’ll be Haaland’s backup.

Not so difficult if it is someone like Alvarez himself; someone who can play behind the striker or on the wings. Haaland himself is a pure striker -- can't really play anywhere else.
