Off topic I know. On the Pravda site, in the “on this day”, it talks about a 3-1 win in Europe many years ago with one goal scored by Ray Houghton. The accompanying picture has Steph Houghton in a Man City shirt, or have we signed her?

Hard to believe but this is actually a pretty decent analysis of the team last season from the Mail.
Well, that link doesn't work for me. Can you copy the text here, please.

I don’t know why people do this, Mr E, why can’t they just put the proper link?  ::)

The starting 11 that the article ends with is pretty exciting to be fair.

Reading anything on the Mail website is such an eye burner for all the other shit on there.

Not sure about the Buendia links, unless it's as a contingency should Jack leave.
If he stays we need first choice;

Centre half to play alongside Mings
Right back
Defensive midfielder (allowing Luis to play further forward or as part of a 2 defensive midfield)
Winger - with pace
Centre forward - with pace & finishing

The last two are the priority.

Mostly agree John but surely left back is a bigger priority than right back and maybe another forward rather than a CB.

If fit Targett is more than good enough imo (okay big if but he played a lot of games this season). I actually don’t think Taylor did much wrong when he came in.

Konsa/Mings seemed to have formed a good partnership and we have Engels and Konsa in reserve.

If Grealish stays I think without question the priority is at least one Premiership standard winger, Sarr?

and then a decent striker

and then a decent midfielder

Having Konsa as a backup to Konsa is risky in my view.

Absolutely. Neither Targett or Taylor are good enough. I see Everton have made an £18m bid for Real Madrid's Sergio Reguilón. I would hope we'd also be interested.

I'd bet my house he meant the other one. I forget his name?

A cheeky 1 year loan bid for Ozil. He is persona non grata at Arsenal, and intends playing out his contract. Gives him game time and Arsenal would probably be grateful for a contribution towards his salary.

Has clearly got ability but disappears when it matters.

He can't be arsed to perform for the team that owns him so what would his attitude be if he was on loan?

We want players who are hungry to succeed. Wouldn't touch Ozil with a bargepole.
