Disappointed if that's true. Not sure why we'd spend months pursuing someone if we didn't really need them anyway.

really hope Pep isnt relying on Gundogan as cover for Fernandinho

It's either him or Delph, or by some chance Douglas Luiz makes the squad or out of nowhere we buy someone now. I think it will be Delph.

I reckon Danilo could do a job there.

I think Laporte is good on the ball and could probably become a decent defensive mid.

Offers starting at €80 million! just for starters. He is good but not that good!!

[Cocacolajojo]

Isn't that illegal?

[johnny crossan]

Isn't that illegal?

not if he reverses charges this is just contract renewal negotiations - agent mentions City, Barca, whoever - everybody knows the game

Not bad for someone who touched the ball about 5 times in the last City-Chelski game.

watching the scum all chase him for 90 mins in the FA Cup final was epic.

with Roma now in dire need of a keeper maybe we can flog Bravo off to them...

Are they that dire?

[PeterParker]

I reckon we are signing someone in the middle, Yaya left and we need a step up from last season (if that is even possible).

My 2 cents is that there is someone that we haven't been linked yet by the media.

But, remember Fern was off a few games last season and we played without a holding player and we were deadly, so Foden could get a lot of chances this year.

[PrezIke]

Chelsea also sounding like they are going to try for Donnarumma.

[Original Dub]

We need a striker.

Badly imo

Honestly think he'll use Mahrez and Sterling as "strikers" on the odd occasion.

You think? Don't see how they'd fit in this season.

Kun and Jesus will rotate, and I expect to see Raz get more time there, as you can see how he opens up space for others when played up the middle against pressing teams where we could play long balls to him over the top (this is where Jorginho was to come in). I think Pep may want to play him there more as I feel he did as the season wound down and Southgate did.

If Sterling plays alongside better finishers out wide in Mahrez and Leroy or even Jesus who can also play wide, that would be a nice alternative for us.
