And Sevilla even if it was a while ago. apparently his marked value is 17 million and he doesnt seem to be part of the plans at city, some fans will hold his reputation at city against him but its important to remember that he is getting judged there by the highest standards there are, so I am sure he would do more than a job for us

We've lacked pace and creativity for the last 3 seasons, so nothing new there. I know, in the champ we could grind out a 1-0 but in the prem 1-0 is going to be alot more difficult so we need to get a bit more pace Not disagreeing with you, your spot on, its just its never happened in 3 years, and if its a player with pace who can't defend we won't have him because he would be deemed not a Karanka style player. Yeah I love Aitor but his biggest downfall is asking every player to defend, its exactly why Hazard under performed last season but when hes given a free role he is so much

Navas and negredo linked up well at city

I think the three in will be chambers from ***nal, ziyech or navas and then maybe a rashford loan...ok so I am maybe dreaming with that last one

both of which were classed as preety decent strikers at championship level but at prem level I would not like to think negredo picks up an injury and we have to get to january with only nugent to rely on

if Rhodes leaves we must have a striker lined up I cant see us finishing the window with just negredo and rhodes

good point today but we really lacked pace and creativity going forward if it was me I would give city 20 million for navas he has all the skills we lack and him and negredo will have a great link up

This. I think if we were buying him I could kind of get excited at what we could potentially have on our hands but I just don't see the benefits to us for a loan deal. Like linojo3 said he's only just played his first game for the senior team so what would he bring us in the year he is with us? regardless of who his dad is, in what world should we not be excited at the prospect of getting a 21 year old who is on the edge of breaking into the real madrid first team? He provides valuable competition for ramirez and even Adomah.

Plus he's recently had a long term injury so he'd be ideal. That does seem to be a necessary trait in our signings this summer. He is a solid defender and has done will in Italy and he is Uruguayan and lord knows we love a good Uruguayan

Martin caceres on a free transfer from Juve would be a good signing especially if it doesnt look like ayala is going to make stoke

People saying that Valdes wont be our number one and that Dimi will keep the top surely must be wrong. That would be like buying a ferrari but still driving your corsa because its done well up to now. Dont get me wrong I think Dimi's story with our club is a great one but this is football and the man is 37 he wont want to be sat on the bench

4/5 mil for forshaw,think your aiming high there bud we payed two million upfront then a further 1.5 in add ons making 3.5 mill I am sure we would want a profit on him Luckily you don't negotiate for Boro if you think getting bentaleb for 8 million is bad business you need to give your head a shake

No way are we dumb enough to pay that much for those two. Having seen the business we've done so far I can't see us splashing anywhere near that much for two fringe players. 16 million for two young premiership players isnt really that much in todays market, especially when you consider we spent what we did on de roon, someone who has never played in the league
