Random Rumours

Palestra, so the guy is a right full back/wing back. Surely they won't spend that much money for somebody just to cover for that position. This means Reece goes into midfield next to Caicedo? Or at RCB, next to Lacroix(?) and Colwill?

 
People seem to be forgetting we have already signed 4 players, no European football means a smaller squad, so dont expect us to sign anyone else unless we sell a lot of players

 
I do feel the need to jump in here and defend the perceived lack of experience around Adam Wharton.

He’s made over 70 appearances for Crystal Palace in the last 2.5 years, in that time being an integral part of an FA Cup final victory over Man City, a Community Shield victory over Liverpool and a ECL final win.

Never once looking out of place on the biggest stage.

For contrast, he’s made the EXACT same number of appearances as Lacroix for Palace, yet we’re labelling one as experienced and one as not? Is it just the age… 22 vs 26 or what?
Are we ignoring the 4 years LaCroix spent in Germany.

Im not against Wharton he’s got great potential but he would benefit from playing in a team with a better mix of youth and experience.

 
Lacroix would be a fantastic signing. I've been high on him since the club targeted him back at Wolfsburg. One of the most dominant 1v1 centre-backs in the PL.

Playing in Germany is about the same level as playing for our U18's.

 
My office is well conditioned. My plush leather recliner is a little too cold to the touch, if anything.
Suggest a hot water bottle. Or rest your feet on one of your sweating, exhausted, exploited workers.

While being an attacker in the Bundesliga looks like easy mode with the high lines and fast counters, in turn seems like defending is on hard mode. Can't dismiss 4 years as nothing which included a run out in the champions league. I Don't think the problem is the bundesliga exactly it is more to do with the scouting. Man City for example have bought multiple top players from German. Kompany, De Bruyne, Haaland, Gundogan and more.

Worryingly we are strongly linked with a couple of Serie A defenders. Now that's a league that I'd try steer clear of, but again with good scouting you can find gems anywhere.

I have one feeding me grapes while the other dabs my forehead with a cool compress at 3 minute intervals. A second too late or too early and they'll be on a performance review.

Pfffft. Getting soft.

 
I rate Anderson but £130m is absolute bonkers for someone who hasn't done anything extraordinary.

Think we may enter in the era of poor recruitment from City.
Prices across the board are becoming nonsensical.
