Transfer discussion thread

Forster had an awful season for Soton. Come on now, there's one reason only that you've signed him.



Just like City, Arsenal, Chelsea, United also have young English players. But they also all go out and get that mid to late 30s keeper to sit on the bench. It's boring and against the spirit of the rule.

Why would you consign a young up and coming keeper to a backup or third choice role where they won't develop. Pointless, better off getting them out on loan and getting an old bloke in to cover the spot

We have Steffen in as our backup but he should be looking to move on to somewhere he'll play, next summer if not this.

Citys 2 keeper will be a young up and coming gk...

Bazunu I'd guess

Lee grant

What about him hahaha we passed the homegrown regulations without him.

We could have put young homegrown keepers in the 3rd/4th keeper role but instead we loaned them out to get first team experience rather than let them rot.

just beat me to it

quite a few of them become coaches too. wright was/is? a coach, so is big scotty carson. it's a nice little payday for them and a byproduct of most top clubs having 1 really good keeper

I even think with him, he's probably better off going somewhere else and playing, on loan or on a permanent deal. Maybe a year as a backup but there really isn't much in it for a backup keeper at a top club. Maybe a bit of Cup glory, and a decent wage.

I'm trying to think of any that have been a backup and worked their way into the starting lineup and stayed there.

 

[Bojan KantKick]

For those confused about Home Grown eligibility - 2021/22 Premier League squads confirmed . Home Grown does not equal players who have come through your clubs academy.

Including the legend that is Lee Grant we had 16 home grown players in our first team squad last season. Grant and Jesse are off with Garner coming back in.

Obviously it's better for Bazunu or whoever is regarded as the best young gk - to be sold or loaned but the question is what's best for man city.

I expect he stays seen as a Steffen upgrade

That's why we have Begovic and Lonergan as 2 and 3. Tyrer & Crellin can go out on loan/play PL2.

[Peter Sidorkiewicz]

Salah - Nunez - Diaz

OR

Kulusevski - Kane - Son

Which starting front 3 is better? I think Spurs might still edge it but Liverpool have much better depth off the bench with Jota.

60m euros up front, 20m in add ons bid by United for FDJ. Must be close if the official bid is in. Thanks Liverpool for giving us the kick up the arse we needed.

If United are in for FDJ does that mean they are out of the loop for Rice?

Certainly this summer. West Ham priced everyone out for Rice. Would think we would be sniffing around him next summer though.

Looks like United has sacrificed the Nunez signing for FDJ. Striker stocks are bare bones at the moment so we'll see how that plays out.

One for you Goshka

Ha ha, RIP Goshka.

Saw that. City trying to offload their spuds to us. Hopefully nothing in it.

Moyes wants to sell Benrahma apparently. Maybe trying to sell him back to Brentford if they lose Eriksen might be our best bet.

Or he simply didn't want to go to you given his other options....

 

[Sphynx]

Would be a great signing this. He's been playing senior football since he was 16.

One I think Man City will come to regret, you would think they would be pushing for a buy back clause.
