I think we'll work on the idea of getting 20-25 mil of incoming from transfers (+ some saved wages and nominal fees). Hopefully Oscar, Philogene and a few fringe players make that sum. I say Philogene as out of him and Greaves I think Philogene will want the PL quicker, I also think although any signing can be hit and miss attackers are a more acceptable gamble. We've also shown through Bowen, KLP, Philogene come develop at City and you'll get your big move. Although I would imagine Burnley's league status may play a part we might go after Zaroury and then maybe Willock and someone like Rak-Sakyi on loan as replacements. I actually think the Giles signing may be beneficial here too - personally think he's looked better when he's come on further up the left.
With CB being so pivotal to our way of playing I think we'll keep hold of Greaves unless we struggle to do all the other business we want. I would be looking for his replacement this summer either way and letting Macca move on and be first choice somewhere else. I would go after Ronnie Edwards if we have the budget, can play either side and would round the squad out well. Sell him the idea of breaking in to the team here, play 2 years in a possession based team, get promoted and get the move to a top half PL club.
Easy this transfer business.
I just stumbled across that one pretty much straight away and thought it was quite funny, I looked no further.
