Would you really want 4 new attacking midfield players? That seems way OTT. I just think we need a Lamela replacement (Grealish) and a Llorente replacement. Thats plenty IMO.

And an Eriksen replacement...
So, you are already at 3 - a 4th does not seem so unlikely

It's five out, four in. It goes without saying that if Eriksen goes he absolutely must be replaced, and IMO we really need a second playmaker to be able to slot in for whoever that replacement is in case of injury or rotation. When Eriksen has been absent or off form we've been dreadful, so we'd be putting ourselves in the exact same situation by replacing him but not addressing the Lamela problem.
As for the other positions we'd be replacing two No. 9s that Poch doesn't really fancy with a world class (when fit) player who would fill the same role as Son, playing primarily as WF and slotting in up top if need be. We'd also be exchanging one young player we took a punt on for another. As I said in my post if we can't nab Dan James we wouldn't really need another signing to take that place in the squad, it'd just be an opportunistic signing of a young talent who's available cheaply due to his contract running down.

Don't really disagree with many of the names already mentioned but personally wouldn't mind Matt Doherty being added. Proven himself to be a reliable RWB and also dangerous in the opponent's box from set pieces and breaks, gets a few goals too. His extra height could be advantageous to our defence too as the combined height of Rose and Trippier is only about 5'5.

Fair, I suppose I overlooked the Eriksen piece completely agree on that.

I mentioned him 6/8 months ago and got shot down. I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s on our list but he’s not going to be high up it.

I don't see why not if he's not wanting a big signing on fee and a huge last pay out. He seem to be a leader on the pitch, can play various positions and doesn't complain about being on the bench. And he seem to have leadership qualities.

Mata couldn't cover a slice of bread let-alone the amount of distance Eriksen gets through a game, doesn't fit our system at all.

Phew. Good thing City are signing Bruno Fernandes. They were lacking in the attacking midfielder area...

Yes, you are right: they're in dire need of a quality central attacking midfielder on their bench

Means Mahrez could be available. Any takers here?

They want Fernandes to replace Fernandinho apparently. Which makes absolutely no sense.

I've never been a fan really. Very talented but work ethic? Lacking for me.

I imagine that they will sign another CM too.
If they get Fernandes, Felix and bolster their defence then seriously what's the point in even having a league competition?
