C'mon Monchi, sort it out!! You're supposed to be organising a fire sale, not saving community football clubs and keeping our best players.

Head Coach José Mourinho has given the green light to sign Jack Grealish and Youri Tielemans. Fenerbahçe's Management has set aside 50 million euros for these transfer. https://x.com/Fenereditor/status/1953929377185476784

Stop laughing at the back.

Man City aren't going to give Grealish away for nothing.

Man City aren't going to give Grealish away for nothing.

It’s a question how much it will cost them to get him off the books, the problem being his wages.
His amortised book value is around £32mil and 2 years wages of approx £24 mil a year .
So they could give him away and save nearly £50 mil in wages. I bet they would take that deal.

you're right but it assumes that there's someone out there willing to pick up the £24m p.a. - my guess is that there currently isn't, so Citeh will take some of the wages-hit.

Agree, so it won’t be giving him away, it’s worse, they will have to pay to get him off the books.
Unless of course Greasy decides to take a huge pay cut.

My wishes for the last few weeks are to strengthen in the right back, centre back and goalkeeping positions. A nippy winger would also be a bonus. Do all that and we’ll be challenging.

I'd like a centre back with pace, right back and fast wide player but that isn't going to happen now.

We've strengthened the goalkeeping positions already, surely?

Bizot is an upgrade on Olsen. Not sure what value there would be in improving our 3rd choice.

Especially when Proctor looks like a great prospect.

Don’t get you. I want a better first choice goalkeeper. One who is not over emotional or doesn’t panic at the most crucial of times.

You want a better goalkeeper than Emi?

Also, we’ve just bought a nippy winger.
