Ah bollocks!Girona is a Spanish club owned by the city group, Genoa is the Italian one.
Edit. To be fair, I had only just woken up.

I will just add to this I'm quite confident we are trying to do that this January as far as CB is concerned at least.What you say is true. We do early deals all the time but the problem is it's rarely the key players that are desperately required, and it's not players that would/could make an immediate impact that are brought in early. It's usually prospects or "good financial/contractual deals" that are tied up quickly before others can gazump us. Porro was a good example of this last January. We were desperate from day one for a RWB and the whole world knew it, yet we got him on the final day, despite negotiating for the best part of 6 weeks.
This is what needs to change because a month of being short in a key area annoys the managers and costs points, which in turn costs more money than it saves.
This of course is more January specific than than the Summer window.
Some more talk about Todibo here:
If this is true and he wants to join us we need to throw everything at it to get him. Absolute top talent CB and would give us insane depth as he's capable at both RCB and LCB.
With Davies also playing really well, we'd have 3 top class CB options and 1 good CB option.
Our depth would be superb.

So Todibo top target with Dragusin 2nd choice/viable alternative?
Getting Tapsoba/Van de Ven vibes again.
Todibo is the dream. If we’re serious about competing under Ange he’s the one we want.
I just can’t see Ratcliffe at Nice selling him for that cheap though and I’m sure Utd will be interested too.
The tone I tried to take in my post was that I was sweet with either option so yes, agree with you.and how has that worked out? Pretty well I’d say!
If we can't get our first choice targets, we should be considering some loan moves. Phillips would be perfect in this regard, I like him as a player, but anything more than a loan (with a buy option) signing would be a bit risky. Not sure City would sell/loan to us though.
Obviously CB transfer and then a CM (loan) and a winger. We need bodies in at this point.
Maybe even a 6 and an 8, as well as a LB cover (depending on Sessegnon).
Hoijberg shouldn't (can't) be sold in January and Skipp has to stay.
If we get any more injuries anywhere we are in serious trouble.
For me, go big on a CB get someone like Phillips and Jota (loans) and maybe that kid from Juve (LB/LW). If we can get Gallagher as well that'd cover us for the rest of the season.
In the Summer, I'd go big on a LW.
Another Bentancur/Kulusevski deal wouldn't go amiss.
