Bernardo Silva to City done and dusted. Fantastic signing.

[Mr. Scruff]

Is it really, not doubting the players quality but they are already so stacked in attack that Aguerro is fighting for a first team place while Silva and De Bruyne are playing most games as central midfielders.

Not what they needed at all.

 

[Bilo]

I see your point, but it's 40 odd million for a world class talent which is a very good, if fantastic is a bit over the top. He has some way to go still but a few years down the line he'll be one of the best players in the league imo. For that price, it's a very good signing.

 

[Renegade]

I was surprised he cost so little when papers had him going for £70+ million a few months ago, I think Monaco could have held out for more. City don't need him right now, but I agree, at that age and price it seems like a very sound investment. I think he'll ultimately displace David Silva (31) in the side.

 

[G.B]

City looking like they're going to have a good summer already, bringing in quality young talent to compete with/replace ageing players. Nolito, Mangala, Bony, Nasri and Hart should fetch reasonable fees as well. They were due an overhaul and it seems to be under way. Mendy, Ederson and Walker possibly soon to follow. They definitely need a CB or two though.

We've been linked with a loan for Tammy Abraham as well as a few players I've never heard of such as Nicolas Pepe, Gabriel Pires and Clinton Mata. Also linked with Jeison Murillo of Inter who would be a smashing signing.

Murillo would be your best signing in years. How have you been defensively this season?

 

[G.B]

We were excellent first half of the season defensively, less so second half when individual mistakes started to creep in. Still ended the season with the lowest goals conceded along with Brighton but improvement is needed for sure. Right back is the only position I've any real confidence in at this level following Anita's emergence as a beast of a full back.

 

[Seb]

Anybody mentioned Pascal Groß to Brighton already?

Anybody mentioned Pascal Groß to Brighton already?

In the rumours thread, yeah.

No-one has said smashing since 1968, get with it lad.

Liverpool signing!!!

15 year old Patrik Raitanen who's a CB.

 

[Stevencc]

Arsenal have signed Kolasinac on a free.

 

[Bilo]

meh

 

[SALTIRE]

He's meant to be the dogs bollocks.

 

[DarkSithLord]

Confirmed - Leicester have signed young midfielder Sam Hughes from Non League side Chester FC for an undisclosed fee.

 

[Nilsson]

Lindelof official https://twitter.com/ManUtd/status/873631005869051904

Very happy with that. Lindelof and Bailly have the potential to create a really formidable partnership, excited to see how they develop under Mourinho.

He's a defender and he cost 125k.

Gonna shit on that Lindelof (who?) that Man Utd are looking at...

The new Rio and Verda? I hope so.

 

[Nilsson]

The new Rio and Verda? I hope so.

Dunno about that but it'd be very nice to have a proper, settled CB pairing again.

 

[Stevencc]

 

[SALTIRE]

I'll make sure and post pics when Liverpool sign Andy Robertson.

West Ham (H)
Swansea (A)
Leicester (H)
Stoke (A)
Everton (H)

WBA (H)
Bournemouth (A)
Arsenal (H)
Brighton (A)
Watford (H)

United's first and final five fixtures of the coming season.

Moyes would have been happy with that.

Well just looking at that CHRISTMAS GIFT of a fixture list I find it hard to believe that's the way the balls came out of the bag, that's for sure.

 

[JimJams]

Maguire done. 17mill. Much needed. Hope we get another cb too tbh.

 

[Smally]

As mentioned in the Koeman thread, Pickford £25m rising to £30m and Klaassen for €27m have both signed for Everton

 

[JimJams]

Wonder if you'll still go for Sig after getting Klaassen in. Probably so cos Barkley might be off.

 

[Bilo]

Klaassen will displace Barkley anyway.

 

[Bilo]

Matthew Ryan confirmed for Brighton, goalkeeper bought from Valencia. Another good signing for them, looks like they might have a good summer.
