We desperately need a LB but not that desperate. £31.5m for Maatsen is seriously bonkers beyond belief and where the hell would the money come from surely only from the sale of players next year. This transfer window is becoming delusional as clearly we could have bid higher sums for other players w...

Surely there is a LB somewhere willing to play for us. I'll put on my boots myself if they are that strapped for someone.

Have Sky been to Burnley yet? I fell asleep due to the boredom of listening to them about all the top teams again and again and again.

Sky only believe the PL consists of the "Big 6" plus Newcastle and Brighton.

Origi deal might be a problem over his wages recently reported.

What is happening with Tresor ? Is he on his way by plane or not ? Nothing yet on LB's which absolutely ridiculous. Are we trying a loan for Gomes as you would think our Man City links would have brought us something useful. What happened with Reggie Cannon the Right Back who was supposed to be join...

It was mentioned by lots of posters all summer long that we needed LB's, upgrades to midfield and a goal scoring striker. Yet with 10 days to go in the window we have signed the square root of nothing for LB's, seemingly desperate for Maatsen, Koulibaly deal fell over and nothing else happening. Upg...

I saw links that we might be bidding for Ernest Nuamah but that Tottenham were also likely to bid as well as there being interest from several European teams. Then I saw reports that we might bid £25m. I also then saw a report that suggested Tottenham might go to £30m so I thought we would be seen o...

I said at the end of last season that I thought Josh Brownhill might be sold in order to raise cash for transfers and the seeming delay over him agreeing a new contract only enhanced that thought. However selling him in our current situation I don't think would make good sense especially given the o...

There are still rumours that a dal for Tresor may still be on the cards and talks are ongoing. If Maatsen is a no-go then are we going to rely on Taylor and Vitinho or is a deal on anywhere for LB's ?

LaLigaClaret

There are still reports that we are still interested in Tella, Maatsen, Tresor, Vrankx, Hamer and Lakonga. Given we may get a couple in on loans amongst let alone signed as permanents we are definitely in danger of having more players than the squad limit unless there is going to be a number of outg...

Not a transfer rumour. Move to other thread.

So discussion around 9 possible incoming players and half a dozen players out is not a transfer discussion ?

You must be incredibly bored or perhaps had a couple of glasses too many.

Strange that it’s a loan move when he is out of contract in the summer

It gets him off the wage bill though in the meantime.

With supposed links to Clarke, Hamer, Flemming, Tresor, Vrankx, Lakonga, Maatsen, Tella, the lad from Espanyol and so forth where is all this money coming from ? We might also need another LB in addition to Maatsen. Perhaps we might see a number of outgoings soon, Wout, Taylor, Bastien, Chulinov, Mc...

Strange one the Hamer story. Coventry supposedly happy to be in actual talks with us regarding the two players on offer plus cash then back out as they sign Latibeaudiere. However they are still well short in the CB department and have lost some key players elsewhere. Perhaps we should up the cash a...

Be a shame if true, I was told we were close to getting him but Brighton are hard to compete with.

I'm not sure how Palmer playing at Brighton is a help to Man City though especially as he might not get that much game time and with the possible players Brighton are going to lose this window.

I’d much rather see Redmond coming on for Zaroury than Vitinho.

I wouldn't because I would hope Clarke might be ours instead.

LaLigaClaret

So every single signing a club makes is a player better than what is already there? It just doesn't work like that. It's about creating a well rounded squad. And something we lack at the moment is experience and a player who can give another option for Zaroury wide left and Gudmundsson more central...

And? What's wrong with that? We're going to get injuries and suspensions. But more so, why do people make such extreme comments? He's never going to challenge? Never? Ever, ever? I can understand "If he arrives I hope that isn't the extent of our signings" etc etc. But just to say nope, never ever....

It's important we negotiate rather than just pay what the other club wants. I agree completely however I am not convinced we do this very successfully. We appear to be good at getting players for small amounts where they turn out to be something of a gem but not convinced we do this with much more ...

Strange signing/ bad signing. Whatever. It amounts to the same thing. You don't agree with it. On the contrary though, I think he'd fit in perfectly with the system in pretty much the same way Tella did alternating between a wide and central position. Redmond played up front and out wide for Southa...

Its been implied that we may have had a pool of around 60 layers in whom we may have an interest. Obviously these will be assigned particular values by us when we are exploring what might be available. The selling clubs also have their valuations and it then becomes a game of what can be agreed betw...

Regarding the "links" to Paddy McNair. It's noticeable that the 3 teams linked to him are all 3 of the promoted teams from the season just ended which says it all really. None else remotely interested although SD might get linked as a last resort. The fact that McNair is not even a first choice at M...

And I can envisage one where BFC management says "thanks but that ship's sailed now and we're sorted" Looking back at the previous owners and manager a few days before the window shut they would be trying to sign a 6th goalkeeper, a 38 year old striker and a League 2 defender for a couple of millio...

LaLigaClaret

There is still lots of time before the window closes so no panic yet. However we do need a significant number of players to come in and still some players to try and move on. The LB position is now becoming difficult, midfield upgrades are needed and a goal scoring striker is another obvious problem...

I’m unconvinced there’s a correlation between what we’re spending on a GK and what that means for the rest of the window. In a system like Kompany’s, the GK is vital. He may have seen the purchase as the top priority of the summer. I would have thought replacing Barnes was the priority given our st...

Coulibaly signed on a free by Borussia Dortmund in 2021, only played twice for the first team and 16 times for the reserve team.

Perhaps Coulibaly could be used as a LB?

Yes he is left footed but usually a centre back with very limited experience in matches and Borussia Dortmund seem keen to offload given he was contracted to 2026.

LaLigaClaret

Calm down. There is nothing to suggest it has to be either Trafford OR Tella. There will obviously be money left for attacking players. I'm not suggesting that I'm just saying I would have seen Tella as more of a priority and money towards our other targets may have been saved by getting a less pri...

£19m for Trafford ? What the !!! Its rumoured at £12m plus £7m addons but here is the real kicker its also rumoured there will be a 20% sell on clause and a buy back option for City.

I'd be happy with a striker giving us 10-15 goal contributions in the PL. If I'm honest you're being unrealistic if you expect us to go and sign someone who is going to get more for the same cost. Its far more difficult than it looks, Wood was giving us that (more goals and less assists) and the ge...

I'm not saying I want Adams (I'd love the Milik link to be true) but to suggest he isn't worth the fee is a bit silly imo. Statistically he isn't bad in the PL and hes not quite in his peak yet. Last 3 seasons: 2022- 2023 Played 28 scored 5 assists 3 2021-2022 Played 30 scored 7 assists 3 2020-2021...

LaLigaClaret

I wouldn't even consider Adams when we were in the Championship let alone the PL. Given the possible links (all be it not concrete) to overseas players this would be a disappointing signing for me and very much lacking in the excitement stakes. I don't think he would trouble defenders in the PL, pre...
