So who's spot will he take? The guy City just purchased for £26.5 million or the one they purchased for £50 million?



Well right now we literally have three actual fullbacks in Mendy, Walker and Danilo.

Danilo can play both sides and also can slide in the midfield. If Mendy and Walker were to both go down then Fernandinho would probably be our RB and in an emergency it would be Demeaco Duhaney.

We carried four fullbacks last season and it's pretty clear Pep's intention this window was to instill depth into the side. At least two deep at almost every spot, and RB would be included in that had Alves signed, so it's safe to assume he'll want to be two deep there as well next season.

Next year, depending on how Maffeo's loan goes, and it went very well last season with Girona, however they were in Liga123, if it goes the same it would be dumb as hell to not give him a chance.

But hey, it would be a total City move to sell his arse if he's doing well in La Liga only a season before.

a chance as in Pep buys someone for 45 million in the same position


I hope he doesn't, solely so my FM save possibly comes true when I gave him a chance

Pretty solid business all around.

Pretty much paying Leicester £25 mil to develop him and if he ends up sucking, which I don't think will happen, then we'll pocket the money and if he thrives we pay £25 mil for a forward in his prime.

Reports claim Emre Mor will be unveiled as a Fiorentina player over the next few days, as Borussia Dortmund sell for €15m including bonuses.

Today he was left out of the squad for the 1-0 friendly defeat to Atalanta and Borussia Dortmund sporting director Michael Zorc refused to comment on a sale to the Viola.

According to Sportitalia, the deal is worth €13m plus another €2m in performance-related bonuses.

Willian might be the most under appreciated players in the league

25 for a 30 year old winger seems odd.

Candreva would most likely be a rotation utility player. He can cover for Moses at wing back as well as either forward flank.

I certainly hope one of our next signings is someone who can push moses outside the best 11. Not convinced candreva would assure that, but itd be cool.

If we sign Barkley i will prob melt hard.
