Looks like Mutough and Fletcher having a blinding window:

(RUMOURS obviously - will leave facts to the wonderful Ed002)

Sancho hopefully done

Varane really wanted

Dan James to Brighton
Donny to Real Madrid (loan or buy)
Bailey to Villareal
Lingard to West Ham
Martial for sale
Pogba to PSG or Juventus

Hopefully free up funds for Trippier and Camavinga

Loans for Garner, Amad, Pelliatr, Shoretire, Elanga and Mengi.

Since they were appointed I have always wondered what exactly the roles of Murtagh and Fletcher are and who is responsible for what. I have an idea of what they do in my head but truthfully it's difficult to whine about them when I am not really sure who does what!

Wallace,

ED002 has said Camavinga won't be joining Utd.

Can see Varane and Trippier coming in, can't see a CM unless significant sales are made.

We will see if PSG will acquire both Pogba and Camavinga if that's the case.

What’s the point in signing trippier? We have AWB and trippier will want to be starting most games. Makes 0 sense to me.

Whiskey,

Because exactly that, we only have AWB, why do city have Walker and cancelo? Because they have a lot of games.

Cancelo covers left back, Kyle walkers played CB. Hence why they can manage the two of them. I see no reason to sign a starting level right back. We have far more pressing issues. CB and DM. A second right back when we still have dalot and Williams on the books is just a waste of money. And even moreso the rumours that atletico want 30-40 million for Trippier. That sort of money could be reinvested in positions we actually need.

All the rumours and moves look good on face value but I will reserve judgement until the window is closed.

Judging them on who they can move on will be a key measure for me.

Sancho and Varane would be an A grade window on incomings.

Romano has just posted about negotiations progressing for Camavinga with a €30 price tag.

Telles needs a partner on the bench and Trippier makes sense.

Whiskey,

We need 2 full teams to be able to compete, that’s what city have and if we want to do well in all competitions we need players who can cover all over the pitch.

Nobody was complaining when we had 4 strikers in 99, in fact it’s the main reason we managed to do so well managing the game time, AWB can’t play every game and competition in the squad is perfect.

{Ed014's Note - it makes perfect sense to upgrade both your starting and 2nd 11. Albeit you want the 2nd 11 to be constantly pushing for a first team spot.

In essence you don’t want a huge drop off in quality between the two. Liverpool paid that price last season.

Totally agree Ed14

Whiskey mentioned we have Dalot and Williams on the books but I am guessing neither of them will be at the club this season, definitely not if we signed a right back to challenge AWB.

{Ed014's Note - Trippier would be a great backup for AWB for me. That is a definitive improvement.
