barca waiting a couple of years to replace neymar doesn't seem prudent. i just can't see arsenal selling mbappe until at least the summer of '19
I like how Southampton wait it out for their fans. He was going regardless, no way they were turning down 40 plus for him.
I thought they were in a better position to have a Chelsea v city v Liverpool bidding war early. Chelsea now got rudiger, pep is more worried about fullbacks.
It's a testament to the ridiculous inflation of transfer prices over the last few years, that 120 mil doesn't seem that bad.
Barca is going to fill the Neymar hole with Dembele/Dybala... but what are they going to do about their midfield?
Is it really surprising when the initial bid was £40 million and we paid £50 million for Kyle Walker?
I think city's lack of attention toward the fullback position last summer gave pep a bit of a pass but he better produce this year. Has been backed in the transfer market more than any other manager in the league the last 2 seasons. Club not just spending money but buying him almost everyone he wants.
When healthy () I'd say Mendy Otamendi Kompany Walker with Danilo top backup to both fullback spots and Stones rotating at CB. Possibly some minutes for Tosin if he isn't loaned Also, I know it was a joke
I debated that in my head but I also think City had been building that squad to fit pep before pep even got there.
No clue. Still have Fernandinho, Fernando, Gundogan, and Yaya. Dinho started on the back line the other night though and played a lot of defense the 2nd half of last season so who knows
Kolarov as Roma's LB while Emerson is injured is pretty cool. Roma ultras of course aren't happy about signing a former Lazio player. Idiots
He had some run of good play and was our best fullback last season but considering the others used were Clichy, Zabaleta, Sagna, Fernandinho and Navas that wasn't a difficult task. He played some CB and was better than Stones. I would've been fine with him staying on as a backup fullback. He's got a cannon for a leg also and he can put in a FK if given the chance
