2020/21 ‘Summer’ transfer window thread

Aguero is a beast. But he is so injury prone and that will probably only get worse as he ages. You can understand why City play him and want to keep him as their main man, but they must be thinking about a replacement for him at some stage. Trouble is, how do you replace Aguero ? And at what cost ?

 

After I prompted you. And you still didn't answer it.

So which players are we talking about here ?

 

Oh agreed, they need fresh talent. I still think they have enough to go another season before they need to look at midfield/attack though.
Silva will be hard to replace but i think with Foden and Bernardo they will cope, not sure if Jesus will ever be capable of covering Aguero but he's not too shabby.
Stereling and de Bruyne have a few years in them and Rodrigo will eventually cover for Gundog, Mahrez will need replacing in a couple of years and they have some decent youth coming through.
All in all i think 2 or 3 players per window will keep them at the top at least for the foreseeable.

 

Funnily enough the vast majority are in the Prem. And quite a few diamonds in the rough touted in Serie A but not what I'd call big name signings.

 

Foden I’d imagine will replace Silva, he really does look a ****ing quality talent, reckon he’ll make the Euro’s next year if he gets the game time for City which I think he will.

Think Rodri is seen as Fernandinho’s long term successor although he’s got a long way to go to get to that level.

Aguero... Irreplaceable in a sense. I reckon some clubs will look at Haaland next summer if he has another season like he’s had and City will likely be one of them.

 

They could make a bid for any world class defender, that’s what I’m saying.

Let’s face it, not many clubs put these players on the market, so there is never going to be a ready-to-go option.

 

Take your pick, mate!

That’s what City will do.

 

Who do you have in mind? who would be your choice with endless funds.

 

So this is where the man city page has been, thought they had no one on here.

 

Shusshh, we are talking about an actual great team

 

Yeh Haaland is a name I was thinking but he won't be going anywhere for a couple of years I reckon.

I agree with a lot of what you say btw, but it does put paid to the idea City are going to be spending big money on many players which is what I was asking HIAG.

 

There's too many to choose from, really.

 

More and more of the "big name" signings are becoming kids with promise. Haaland at 19, doing the job with ease at present but i am dubious about the German league, Greenwood with us at 18 looks the part but has played half a broken season, sessegnon at Spurs was the next big thing at Fulham but can't even get on the bench now.
Big money for promise and a lot of hope thrown in.

 

Top two will do, not trying to make it hard for you fella

 

Some information you need to keep under your hat.

 

Deffo not happening then

 

I wouldn’t rule out a move next summer tbh mate, providing he maintains the form he’s shown that is. He’s looking like the ‘next best thing’ and City will surely fancy a bit of that. Bloke’s only 20 and had 4 clubs already so I don’t think he’s the type who’s bothered about sticking around or not and Dortmund themselves always seem happy to sell if the price is right, they made about £90m on Dembele after just one year lol. They’ll just find another gem anyway, it’s what they do. Unreal scouting network, have no problem saying I’m jealous of their setup.

 

Predicting Newcastle imminent downfall, I must say...

I've always been a massive Citeh fan, come on you Cityzens!

 

****, missed him off my list

 

I honestly think we could do with Mbappe and Neymar to compete this year.

Shiekh needs to splash the cash.
