Maybe, i don't know where his devolopment is at. But we can't be going into a season with just two strikers again, one who is always injured and another who has been picking up his fair share.
Yeah it's one or the other. There was strong rumours of Bruno to City earlier, but they've subsided since the Paqueta rumours, which now appear to be progressing. Bruno is more flashy, but Paqueta more consistent overall.
I think you’re right. I would rather take a punt on Minteh given his amazing season and buy a striker.
If Wilson is the 3rd striker then we must have a 2nd one. I think that must be the focus. I would have a left back a striker and another Cm.
Not for me, we have so many CM's and even then could arguably be a little more flexible with the rigid 4-3-3. Even if we plod on with 4-3-3, we have a first choice 3 of Tonali, Bruno, Joelinton, a second choice three of Anderson, Willock and Longstaff then both White and Miley. We need five - RCB, LB, CF, GK, RW. Minteh could take the last position meaning signing four. More if we're replacing from the first XI. We're desperate for a better keeper, centre back and left back.
It was meant to say CB not CM. If I could I would get 5 in. I can’t bare to see Longstaff plodding around any more.
Agreed. Sell Murphy and bring in Minteh. Although we really do need a proper RW. Minteh, Almiron and Murphy not reliable enough.
There's been a load of Dutch fans at the games of late and anytime I speak with them they say he's miles off PL standard at the moment. He's a good young player in Dutch league with blistering speed but his tactical awareness is still needing developed and has a long way to go. It's something his manager has publicly called him out on a few times according to them.
The noises seemed to suggest he might have another season there - but for the love of ****ing Christ this club cannot go into another PL season with Almiron/Murphy as the right wing.
I'm not buying into that for the following reason. We made a £78m loss in the last accounts. That was after a spend of about £150m. Isak, Botman, Gordon, Targett. This upcoming year has Sela, Adidas, CL money to nullify that loss and boost the funds a bit.
