Sander Berge: City must be shitting themselves

Never mind City, I have been shitting myself with the thought of our lack of movement in this transfer window for over a month now.

 

[King of the Lane]

People are becoming so desperate for signings that they are happy with anyone. Berge screams this years N'koudou/N'Jie.

Im concerned that we havent had any links to quality players. It is all unknown players so far...worrying

We need to be making at least one Sanchez level signing every summer if we have intentions of staying in the top 6, let alone top 4.

Re Grealish, and you guys quoting Villa Bullshit, that our opening bid was 9m. That is made up blx, straight from their smartphones, or keyboards.

 

[Indisguise]

Do we think Sander will get to cut the ribbon on the stadium?

 

[RichieS]

Why do we need another defensive midfielder? We need creative players.

Creative midfielders cost more and have release clauses that we ignore when we low ball bid.

Grealish? And either the squad's thin at DM due to injuries, as seems to be a popular opinion, or it isn't and we don't need to sign more than one midfielder (again, Grealish).

At least the “building up” itk was correct going from that lobotomy midget to Norwegian tree bloke

Also shows how consistent our scouting has been his window, really know what we’re looking for

 

[mil1lion]

Sander Berge sounds like a deal we could do if Toby is sold. With the injury issues around Wanyama it gives us extra cover just in case, Dier can cover both CB and DM. Makes sense.

When you rummage through the bargain bin you may not get what you're after, but at least you've bought something...

Just think if we actually buy him ...

I hope you are right (if you think so) that we do not buy him.

Of course we need more creative midfielders, I think we should be aiming higher than Jack Grealish, but I look forward to Poch proving me wrong.

I'd have him for 10-15 but he's just potential right now; could easily be a 50 mil player.
However this is typical of our scouting, buying players for position rather than roles. An great example was us thinking that Sissoko would offer the same thing that Mane would...

Are you sure. He's played hardly any games in a shit league and all of a sudden he can step in to a top 4 chasing PL side.

Of all the options there are in world football for a CM he surely doesn't and shouldn't even come close for us at this moment in time.

What are you talking about position over roles? With wanyama crocked and dier possibly having to be cover with toby going we need a dm which he is.

I meant more as a Grealish alternative/ Dembele replacement. I thought that was what we were going for.

I know nothing about him but just talking from a positional point of view. I can see us going for a DM in addition to Grealish if Toby is sold.

OPINION!!!

Why would we sign Leon Bailey when we have Moura, Sonny for starters?

That seems to be grealish who we have bidded for aparently.

Well in that case, not sure why we were intrested in Zaha and Martial then...

They're all wide forwards...
