Clever use of averaging which completely ignores his improvement over the last few seasons.
Clever use of averaging.. haha
He's never scored over 10 goals in a season. This season included.

I completely agree with @danielneeds that solving the CM crisis would effectively give us another attacking player in the form of Dele. Dele's had to drop deep to paper over the cracks in midfield all too often this season. He's done an admirable job of it, but we all know he's at his best when he's free to float around the attacking third and make those darting runs that catch the opposition on its heels.So people happy to be going into next season with our current attacking line up?

That being said I'd look to replace Lamela with a player like Brandt or Grealish -- someone who could slot into the attacking midfield of a 4-2-3-1, play at the tip of the diamond in a 4-4-2, or as a No. 8 in a CM3. That'd round out the attack quite nicely IMO.
For the money Palace will want for Zaha, we could get Havertz. No thanks. Big no thanks.
nothing really new except maybe for the very last bit
ali z on eriksen (and toby): He(eriksen) is not Hala for Madrid he wants Barca, am concerned that he will neither sign a deal or get Barca. He and Toby could both still stay it's all up in the air. With Eriksen I really believe it is not about money, Toby is finding out that no club wants to give him what he wanted.
Ndombele - 50m - Mid
Jovic - 50m - St
De Ligt -70m (only if Toby is sold) Cb
Brozovic - 30m - Mid
Pope - 10m - GK
TTL - 210m
Sell:
Toby - 25m (Toby’s call)
Janssen - 15m
Lamela - 20m
Nkoudou - 10m
Onomah - 10m
TTL - 90m
Net spend: 120m or 75m if Toby stays.
Is he though? Bayer have now made a habit of not selling to them.As pointed out before, he's set for Bayen M. anyway. Besides, they're very different players. Leon Bailey, Nicolas Pepe and David Neres are more comparable and would cost even less than Zaha
Yes we should.
A attacking force of Kane, Son, Lucas & Zaha with Dele & (hopefully) Eriksen supplying them would be a top line up.
CM is also needed ??
Inconsistent, sure, but when he's at his best, he's our best player. I do wonder too how much his future has been playing on his mind this year, and how much that has contributed to his inconsistency.Toby staying would be fantastic, eriksen not bothered so inconsistent this season

And comparable is one thing. Improve the squad and add dimension is another. We don't need Zaha
If available, would absolutely be my number one choice, and should be any sane person's number one choice, for a new player in the final third. Incredible footballer.Sane want to leave ManC .... says the The Sun

I honestly wouldn't take Mahrez. Not because I don't think he's a good player, I just don't think he would fit us, nor IMO is he what we need. Can't think of anyone else in their best 20 players I'd say that about though. Actually, probably wouldn't take Delph, Otamendi or Kompany either for various reasons.Ib posted this in the Man City thread but, seeing as this is the wish list thread, I don't see how it hurts in here.
Interesting reading (hopefully true). According to BBC Gossip this morning (via El Chiringuito) states..
German midfielder Leroy Sane, 23, and Brazilian forward Gabriel Jesus, 22, are just two out of eight players that have asked to leave Manchester City in the summer.
Obviously probably total nonsense but it does create a nice warm feeling inside to think there may be internal problems there & players are looking to leave.
Is there a player in their entire squad that wouldn't improve ours?
