Looks like City will be signing Ferran Torres from Valencia.. Shame, he looks the real deal.

It's harder for us to sign young talented Spanish players with Pep at city.

Been linked with Dean Henderson. Just dont see a way United sell him to us. Would be a good option if possible.

Smart move especially if it unsettles him and forces Utd's hand. But what if De Gea becomes available? Would we take him?

Oblak or Ter Stegen would be fantastic but probably unlikely.

De Gea appears distracted off field (no substance to that statement ... Just a hunch) and a new challenge might bring him back.

No thanks to De Gea, we need an imposing keeper.

Is this a joke?

The one guy who's arguably even worse than Kepa!

CB hopefully

CB I would guess. Make these 4 signings and we are sorted.

My ideal 4  would be Havertz, Oblak, Tagliafico and Skriniar

That would be mental.

Very mental, and im fairly confident that we could get at  least 2 of those (Havertz and Tagliafico) but the other 2 are long shots at the moment, may need to wait until next summer to sign

Havertz, Oblak, Tagliafico and Skriniar to add to Ziyech and Werner would have to be the greatest transfer period ever, right?  And I mean of any team!  The word mental doesn't even do it justice!

2004 wasn't bad. 

Drogba

Cech

Robben

Ricky

Paulo

Definitely up there and would have been even better had Robben stayed.  But still, if (and a massive if at that) we get anywhere near close to getting all those players above it would have to be considered than the 04 window.

If those players were to be as good as they look on paper, then it would be very hard to beat.

There is still the part where we need to offload some players, on the other hand. If we do manage to get the above mentioned players, we will be pretty stacked and we will need to sell some deadwood in the team.

Lets say that Zappa, Pedro and Willian leave as free agents. I guess we will try to sell Danny D, Baka, Moses, Alonso/Emerson, Barkley and Bats and a defender. Even if that happens, I still think we will probably lose either Kante or Jorghinho. If Havertz do arrive, we will be absolutely stacked in midfield. Kante, Jorghinho, Ruben, Billy, Mount and Kova. Those are 7 players battling for 3 spots and there will be some of them that will not be happy.

Any thiughts?

There’s been some whispers of us potentially looking at John Stones, as he is out of favor at Man City and they’re likely to bring in a CB. He would probably come cheaper than what City paid for him a few years back, but I don’t think he is what we need. Would immediately become our best ball playing CB, but he’s always struggled with awareness.

Preferably not, don't think his priority is football otherwise he could be one of the best.

Matthias Ginter comes out as a CB target from what I saw just recently.

Yeah... No. Just no.

Apparently we are looking in to Getafe's Cucurella. 

A left-back loaned from Barca. I have absolutely no idea of his qualities or lack off. 

John Stones would be a good signing, he has made mistakes throughout his career as do most defenders in their early years, he has also played a part in City winning back to back titles and other cups along the way,  whoever signs him would be buying him for the peak of his career

We are trying to bring in competent defenders, Stones isn't one of them.

A decent player, I see him more as a wingback and a left wing. Has pace, skills... Only 22 yrs old. 

These rumours are so funny it's a like football manager

Maybe this bloke? Looks like a decent CB:
