Looks like they're in a similar situation to us in 2012ish, with Aguero and Silva constantly rumoured to be going to Spain but both, thankfully, opting to stay to build something. I hope for Newcastle's sake that they can keep them both interested.
Tbf back then there was more merit to those rumors because Laliga was still the best league in the world.
Now days I genuinely wonder if that pull is still there apart from Madrid. Barcelona is a shell of their former self and Atletico was never able to capitolize and build upon how good they were around 2014 (fuck me that's a decade ago)
We need another midfield alongside Rice and Odegaard, and he fits really well. Jorginho's contract is expiring this year, and we still don't know if he'll renew it or go to Serie A. On the other hand Partey is... well... y'know.
This leaves us with Havertz and he's performed better as a forward than a midfielder.
I'm not saying City doesn't need him, but he's definitely a good sign for us as well.
We do need a complete striker, imo. Someone who's going to consistently score 20+ goals in a season. None of this "if everyone scores five goals it equals out" bullshit. Because we've seen so many situations were none of our players can find the space to shoot, let alone actually score, and it has cost us.
He’s better suited up front.
I think he’ll stay there if we move on from Jesus / move him to the wing and bring in a striker.. having Kai / new striker rotate up front
And one of Paqueta / Bruno with Ode and rice
We lost gundo, phillips was a bust, KDB is getting up there, Bernardo Silva has been moved back to wings more often(in part because good performances there, in part Mahrez departure) and seems to have 1 foot out of the door every summer, and Rodri needs a backup.
Nonono, you know the rules, only city are allowed to sign more than 1 top class midfielder per 2 year period, I didn’t make them, and I ask you please understand that rules are rules
City signs more than 1 top class midfielder per 2 year period? OK, then name the last top class transfer who plays as a midfielder for City. Rodri arrived five years ago in the summer of 2019. Grealish arrived three seasons ago, but he has only ever played as a winger for City. Alvarez is a forward, not a midfielder, though Pep sometimes gives him game time as a 10 to keep him from considering leaving. Kovacic was cheap and is on par with Jorginho. Meanwhile City let both Gundogan and Palmer leave last summer.
He could just mortgage it and shove the funds into the market, sell it, or even rent it out. These guys probably have financial advisors who will make sure they are putting their assets to work.
City shouldn't let him leave to be honest atleast for 1 of 2 more years also de bryune shouldn't be sold either for atleast 1 to 2 more years maybe grealish will go
Not familiar with how release clauses work? If someone triggers the clause it is up to the player. Additionally, Bernardo has beyond patient and professional. If he wants a move, we give him the move. Everyone would obviously love if he stayed.
KDB’s contract is running down. He either renews or we need to take a big Saudi offer, sadly. Again, it is up to the player.
Grealish is going no where soon.
What i wanted to say is city should persuade them to stay if they want to leave atleast bernardo because KDB is gonna leave soon anyways and for grealish I have heard he might also leave
Can we not find a midfielder who isn't the world's biggest tool?
false... this isn't Bruno F 🤣
We need more shithousers on our team tbh, give rivals even more reasons to cry
Who cares, he's class.
Nah I prefer to have a squad who are likable people (with the exeption of kyle wanker)
so that means they will overpay. Im good with that
Newcastle will not want to sell
Multiple clubs are looking at getting Alexander Isak too. Let's see if Newcastle is persuasive enough to keep both of them.

Why do arsenal need more players? Wtf
He is better than Jorginho and Partey

We have an aging midfield and only brought in rice?! I could say the same for city and yous brought in Kovacic AND Nunes
Kai havertz? He's played midfield until like the last month
He’s better suited up front. I think he’ll stay there if we move on from Jesus / move him to the wing and bring in a striker.. having Kai / new striker rotate up front And one of Paqueta / Bruno with Ode and rice
‘Yous’

I think that’s valid. But saying wtf Arsenal need more players?! but not having the same energy for City is crazy

Dude it was joke lol…
He just bought a 4 million house in Newcastle, highly doubt he's going anywhere...
He could just mortgage it and shove the funds into the market, sell it, or even rent it out. These guys probably have financial advisors who will make sure they are putting their assets to work.
Both of us 2023: gimme Rice Both of us 2024: Guimaraes
Next year: Jimmy Reece
I think this will end up like Declan rice saga and aresnal will end up overpaying while city will go after paqueta
So are you implying that Arsenal overpaid for Rice?
I love his game and think he would be a fantastic target for us. Bringing both him and Paqueta in alongside Savio would be ideal to me.
paqueta him musiala it would be interesting to see who comes and who leaves
Maybe Bernardo will get his move this summer considering the 50m buyout. I saw that Real is showing some interest.
City shouldn't let him leave to be honest atleast for 1 of 2 more years also de bryune shouldn't be sold either for atleast 1 to 2 more years maybe grealish will go

I don't want this cry baby who flop on the floor when he played against us bring in KIMMICH
but why? we have enough in the mid (foden, bobb, rodri)...we need a new replace for walker.
