Dr Gloom 24500 Posted Wednesday at 10:47 Share Posted Wednesday at 10:47 30 minutes ago, Craig said: Pretty much under the radar as well which I hope is our strategy too. I think the challenge we have is that we had years of Ashley's cronies telling us "we were after a player but we couldn't quite get it over the line..." so disappointment is entrenched and expected, and likely intensified by virtue we had to satisfy PSR for the past couple of years. I'm really hopeful we're going to be pleasantly surprised come the end of the summer. yeah, it’s day four of a long summer of rumours, most of which will be bullshit. We have a large number of fans on social media already losing it because other clubs have made early moves and we haven’t. We just need to be patient and remember that since the takeover our record in the market has generally excelled. The only concern is if psr hinders our efforts but Howe suggested it wouldn’t this time. I wonder if we’re waiting until the end of June to make a move when clubs close to their psr ceiling are forced into fires sales as we were this time last year with Anderson and Minteh. There could be good value to be found then. A vulture mission for some of Villa’s players, perhaps. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaddockLad 20060 Posted Wednesday at 10:57 Share Posted Wednesday at 10:57 (edited) Just to point out that the transfer window will be closed between 10-16 June for its annual holiday. Having a week in Benners with his brother "January window" and their Dad "March transfer deadline day so you cant buy 6 players after the FA Cup 5th round and end up basically buying the cup you cheating bastards" Edited Wednesday at 10:57 by PaddockLad 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom 14504 Posted Wednesday at 11:29 Share Posted Wednesday at 11:29 Social media is monetised so half the blue ticks are just creating content for money.

Dr Gloom 24500 Posted Wednesday at 14:31 Share Posted Wednesday at 14:31 The time to panic isn’t now. It will only be concerning if we reach the final few days of the window and there still hasn’t been any movement because then you’re in panic buy territory. We really have to strengthen the squad this time with all the extra European fixtures next season. Howe will really have been let down if they don’t back him properly for the fourth window in a row. I don’t see it happening. We just need to adjust our expectations about the market in which we operate. We’re not yet at the stage where we can bid £80-100m for a player on wages of £200k+ per week, thanks to psr 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toonpack 12479 Posted Wednesday at 14:45 Share Posted Wednesday at 14:45 It's always the same first few weeks after the season, little happens because every fucker's on holiday, hysteria over nowt every single year. We'll look for bargains towards end of June and do real business in July when a £70 mill lump (iirc) drops from our own PSR calcs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That might have a knock on effect. For instance if you were competing with us for a player you'd have to work to the same deadline. Wirtz being an example, Flushed Liverpool out.

David Kelly 1447 Posted Wednesday at 15:35 Share Posted Wednesday at 15:35 I really don't see how this mini window shit works anyway. It's not like everyone is just going to stop sorting out deals while the world cup is on. Surely everything will just keep going, they'll just have to wait a few weeks to confirm the deals. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We paid over £30m for him and he's since become a mainstay and broken into the England team. Anything short of £75m will likely be laughed off.

LondonBlue 1086 Posted Wednesday at 15:54 Share Posted Wednesday at 15:54 it was just an example of how the window could affect you. All City's players, and all your players are available for the right price. every one, but i agree, i think he would be too expensive. 7 minutes ago, Howmanheyman said: I'd be VERY surprised if Tino was allowed to go unless you were throwing us some serious money, we can't afford to lose him tbh. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig 7887 Posted Wednesday at 15:56 Share Posted Wednesday at 15:56 Yeah everyone has a price. But I think our position on full backs and the versatility of Tino means he'll be considered too high an investment - even for Man City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aimaad22 5087 Posted Wednesday at 16:07 Share Posted Wednesday at 16:07 I don't see Howe letting Tino go unless we're talking silly 100M+ money. He's a very unique player, not just a great defender already but he's one of our best ball carriers and he links up play very well. If he adds a bit of end product going forward he'll be world class, and there were signs of that already towards the end of the season when he took Hall's position down the left. Another year or two under Howe will see further development, he's only turned 22. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye just say that the teams in the CWC can't play anyone in the competition that they sign in after a certain date. In effect that's exactly what it is anyway.

Livra to City is a non starter in my eyes. Cherki looks like a mix of David Silva and KDB in his highlight video. can't be right at 30m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then the window stays open and you (and everyone else) can sign players, you just can play them until next season. From what I've read, pace is the problem with Cherki. Certainly looks like a talented player though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
