the special one

Wasn't that impressed v Dortmund tbh and with Nkunku injured we deffo need someone else, hopefully Broja can stake a claim up until the window closes... or Mbappe. 😭

Hope we sign him, if anything so City don't - Olise/Haaland could potentially be a lethal combination. Olise at #10 and Kudus at right wing and I'll start to believe we can challenge for top four again.

Glad we got this done, bearing in mind rumours of United/Newcastle's interest, Fofana's ACL, and the fact we'd seemingly agreed club terms but not terms with the player. Just hope it doesn't mean Chalobah is sold who I feel can cover multiple positions this season.

Reece has been sloppy at times in preseason, more than just a backup imho.

Quality player with huge potential but the combination of Gvardiol and Kovacic may upset the winning dynamic City have had over the years. Gundogan will be a huge miss for City, maybe even cost them the title this season.

I'm no fan boy but it wasn't that long ago when keepers reached their prime from 27+.

😭

Maybe we're not? There was a rumour about Thiago leaving for the SPL

Poor from Reece

That's the 3rd time Chalobah has come off with a knock? Hopefully Disasi is a done deal

Understandable given the subs but we've lost the structure we had in the first half.

Casadei doesn't look great in the pivot.

What a pass Cucu, keep that up please.

Did they forget Angelo? 🤣

He hasn't really been tested to be fair, hasn't been challenged physically or in last ditch tackles. But holding the line well.

Bashir 'Marquinhos' Humphreys looks quality on the ball.

Looks a beast, sign him up.

Preseason hasn't exactly filled me with optimism, I think we're 1 of 13 teams potentially battling to avoid the drop. 8th will be a good season.

Hope we get this over the line but I imagine City/Newcastle are interested too.

Throw in Harrison Reed (an underrated box to box midfielder) and you have a deal. 🤣

Take the £4m and include a sell on clause.

Hope so, not that I'm a great judge of talent but I don't think he's all that anyway - but then maybe I'm still traumatized by Bakayoko.

You'd think £80m would be enough for Real Madrid to consider selling Tchouameni.

There were times last season when I thought Harrison Reed looked just as good, only cost Fulham £6.5m 😅
