Random Rumours

Basically what happens when you hire someone like Joe Shields who had put together a very successful U-21 team, and probably wants to see how they get on in the senior game a few years down the line !

Our Academy were only really dominant in the Youth Cup, not so much the PL2 league

Do you ever stop to think that we are signing cities academy players because they need to ship them out for the same reason.
Maybe we shouldn't be signing so many players in the first place so we don't have to ship our own out.

 
City lite.

Joe Shields

Enzo Maresca

Cole Palmer

Romeo Lavia

Liam Delap

Jamie Gittens

Jadon Sancho

Ami missing anyone?

 
I don’t trust the German league. Pretty much most players look good there.
Agreed. We should be focusing on La Liga and Ligue 1.

Plus an occasional gamble in Portugal/Brasil sometimes? Just for fun

 
I'm not saying we should get him or anything, but it would be absolutely hilarious if we outbid Pool for Wirtz like we did with Caicedo/Lavia.

I'm not sure if it'd work as it could lack some pace (albeit we play walking football most of the times), but on paper Wirtz, Estevão and Palmer would all be very interchangeable and create havoc.

His wage demands are £300k/w.. For City to walk away when they desperately need a De Bruyne replacement, odds of us being remotely interested are zero.

We could sell Lesley Ugochukwu to the scousers maybe?

Maybe. BUT Our manager Enzo Maresca is very against this "interchangeable" idea/thing. Stay on your side and pass sideways and backwards - is his mantra.

 
I think it is safe to say that we are keeping Neto, Sancho and Madueke and we are adding the South American wonder kids and maybe Gittens to our squad.

Mud-rick is off. Sterling is off. whatever happend to Omari Kellyman?

Yeah, I honestly don't think its feasible in any way, but I'd love to see Wirtz getting snatched away from them somehow just as they start to think it's a done deal.

Realistically I'd want us to get Mbeumo to replace Noni/Neto and a LW signing, not sure if Rodrygo will be available so maybe even have a go within the PL at Justin Kluivert/Eze, who can fit our wage structure and can give more output/consistency.

 
“Chelsea are offering Strasbourg's 21-year-old midfielder Ismaël Doukouré a new project and a transfer to Chelsea amid interest from other English and German clubs.”

Surely the club won’t keep signing all Strasbourg players linked with PL clubs. This is the 3rd one now, and these players are not good enough to play for us. The Mammadou Sarr is already getting loaned back to Strasbourg.

There's rumours linking us to Kudus of West Ham. West Ham want something like 80m+. For that money, I'd rather we enquire about his teammate, Bowen. I like Bowen and he's proven to score a good amount of goals over the last few seasons. Kudus has 5 goals and 3 assists this season which is hardly inspiring. Bowen on the other hand has 13 goals and 8 assists.
