Only player that should be coming in this window is Dest. would love to see is grab Borna Sosa of Stuttgart as well, for LWB 1.87m, 24yo (in 3 and half hours), wand of a left foot 19 assists and 3 goals in last 4500 minutes of play for a shit club and a good national side (Croatia) he is like a more pacey Alonso, great change-up from Chilwell (when he returns next season) Edited January 20, 2022 by Vesper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’ll go to whoever present Barca with the highest offer and I can’t see that being us. He’s more likely to go to someone like Newcastle or a club like that who want to make a splash. They need to show prospective targets that they can attract big names. West Ham would be another. We should wait until the summer and target Raphinha from Leeds if we want a new wide attacker. I’d love Martinelli tbh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yeah, i predicted he would do well there bc of his athleticism. I guess you could send michael antonio or broja there and they would easily score 20+ serie a used to be good defensively but it is telling how well even slow grandpas like giroud, dzeko and zlatan are doing.

Growing up in the early to mid 90's it was THE league. I used to watch Italian football I think it was on channel 4 on Saturday's and Sunday's and used to buy the magazine too. It was just brimming with quality players and teams so deep into the league. Look at the players Chelsea bought during that time from Italy - Gullit, Zola, Di Matteo, Vialli, Desailly. Some of those were in their 30's and considered in decline and not good enough anymore over there but came over here and did phenomenal. How the tables have turned like you said with the likes of Giroud, Dzeko, Zlatan, etc still performing well in Italy but I think would for the most part struggle now over here with the pace and intensity.

Maatsen might be something, we know what we will get with Emerson and it will end up with Alonso being number 1 until the season end. The only thing I'd be concerned with bringing Maatsen back is how keen is Tuchel on him. Tuchel has at least talked up Emerson as someone he trusts could slot back in and "do a job". Emerson is never going to be the long term answer, but at least if he was brought back for the rest of the season I think Tuchel will use him and rotate Alonso with him. I think we have to accept that we'll struggle getting anything in January that upgrades on Alonso but we do really need an alternative there that Tuchel can use regularly if needed. I know CHO and Pulisic have played there now and again and Sarr could play at full back in a 4, but we do really need another proper wing back option on both sides. Alonso isn't great, but a run down Alonso playing game after game for the rest of the season is going to be horrendous. mkh, Strike and Tomo 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His move to Madrid is proof that the grass isn’t always greener and ultimately, he is finished IMO. Honestly think for the fee he cost and wages he’s on, he will struggle to get a top club move. I mean Coutinho is a reference for this sort of thing also although he somehow got a move to Bayern for 6 months and eventually only got out of Barca to go to Villa with a chance of a permanent move. On 18/01/2022 at 18:53, Tomo said: I'm sorry how anyone has come to the conclusion Hazard is a good idea is mindblowing. Our forwards for all their flaws are more useful than 2022 Hazard, yes even Lukaku. I've stated previously that if I had had Roman's money I would absolutely have tried to buy Chelsea and, if successful, would now be making all of the transfer decisions myself. Certainly I'd give the manager every opportunity to sell me on his preferred targets but, in the end, I would watch the player myself and decide myself. When it comes to the potential return of Eden Hazard however I would probably have to recuse myself. I'm too emotionally attached.

Strike 7,489 Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 Would keep an eye on Raheem Sterling's situation in City. Has 18 months on his deal and doesn't look like renewing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has 18 months on his deal and doesn't look like renewing Only thing is with a player like Sterling, he gets a lot of goals for City but they constantly create a lot of opportunities each match. His timing and the amount of times he arrives in and around the 6 yard box in goalscoring positions from the wing is exceptional though. I don’t think it would be the same here, and whilst he has shown he can be a very creative player I don’t think we would be that interested due to the wages he’s on. It is a bit odd with his situation though, I mean hes been there since 2015, meaning that other than Fernandinho he, alongside KDB, is the longest serving member in their current squad. He seems to be in and out a lot in the last 18 months or so under Pep which is confusing for someone of his ability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blues.bridge 343 Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 we need to purchase some good players, especially on the front, but why we don't have started to sell some deadwood yet? or also some who could be replaced in summer with better one? better to sold them a little at a time that try to do it in one. mkh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superblue 6,372 Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 I'm pretty sure Sterling has said in interviews before that he'd like to go and play abroad whilst he's still at the top level so I wouldn't be surprised if his contract runs down a bit more if that were to happen. I can't see him going somewhere else in England directly from City. Vesper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superblue 6,372 Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 We're being linked with Dylan Williams from Derby and apparently Rooney has confirmed they're in talks with a Premier League team today. Anyone know much about him? 18 year old left back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
