The thing is we need to rotate. We can't expect to go for the quadruple again next year with the same players because we need hunger and without Saturday, they really have no motivation to win everything home again.

So selling 3 or 4 is actually needed.

Harrison fee to make Leeds switch permanent could be as low as £10m. Ridiculous if true. He's had a decent season. Should be double that.
Balotelli......that's a brilliant finish.

That would be some of the worst business we’ve done for a while. And that is saying something

If we get less than 20M for him they have had our pants down.

Cannot say ive seen anything of him. The way i see it at present, we have Sterling and Mahrez as bargaining chips be surprised if we dont try to use one as a make weight in a deal for a striker

I’m on the fence about Kane but if it involves a swap with Sterling going the other way then it’s a great deal & I’m all for it

A Jesus and Sterling swap would be about right. Maybe a small monetary amount as well. But that would be a decent and fair deal for both parties

Dont know about this. I certainly wouldn't be giving them money and both! Its too much in my book. Yeah Sterling has gone through a bad period recently. That doesn't mean he is finished with us, he can come good again. Sounding like a broken record here but Jesus will never be a leading striker, but if we sign a new 'first choice' striker, were still going to need a back up. So if Jesus goes that's 2 strikers in, or else we rely on Torres to play a back up / wide role. Delap, will he be ready.
Big decisions, and an interesting summer ahead.

I'd keep them both for one more season . Raheem has been brilliant for us at times in seasons past . This season hasn't been his best , but he deserves a chance to turn things around .
Jesus is young and adaptable ; capable of playing either wing - possibly a better position for him than 9 - he brings tenacity and workrate , and despite all the criticism he receives , his numbers are fairly decent.
Mahrez - I think around Jan to Match was peak Mahrez - offered very little against Chelsea, and I think his time has passed. Sell.
LaPorte ; shown he is still a quality defender ; keep for another season . If he's still sulking about game time in 12 months , OK, adios .

Got a feeling we are going to get Mbappe. I have no concrete evidence for this. Just that this Kane stuff looks like a smokescreen to me.

I am hoping that Sterling has blinding Euros and gets his mojo back, if he doesn't then next season he will be warming the bench & gone next summer if not sooner depending on who we sign this summer, if any.

Mbappe this way and Sterling to PSG plus £80m. Get it done City.

If we theoretically did a player swap it still allows us to spend money on other targets.
Imagine swapping Sterling or Mahrez and Jesus for Kane and then buying Haaland

But we won't be going for Haaland and Kane.
For me the priority this summer is a striker and a holding midfielder.

After Peps theatrics in the final, I doubt any top holding midfielder would be overly keen to join us. I suppose they could always insert a clause ' no pep brainfarts' in their contract

Whomever. The point stands that a swap possibly allows us to get two top players whereas we might not stretch to actually buy two.
