Needs to go somewhere not trying too hard to relaunch his career. Needs to go somewhere humbly to do the absolute basics, work hard, no Hollywood football on the edge of his own box, and earn his place in the starting lineup of a team way below City. Then see where it takes him.
We can be that team if it’s a cheap loan with partial wages. If it’s a full contract or loan with fee and massive wages, then no we probably cant take the risk.

Would like to see Keane Holgate Maupay out the door. Wouldn’t be too bothered if Godfrey and Docuoure followed them. We need to try and keep hold of Pickford and Branthwaite if possible.
Simon Buttle
Player Valuation: £50m
He was already a name at Leeds then, Dyche only has 2 staff with him if the 3 of them can't agree on a player it's hardly a great sign is it. Unless Phillips is prepared to take a huge wage cut I doubt this will happen anyway tbh, we will see.
Are you a Zat multi !

If our main business this summer was the following (based on recent incoming player links):
Maupay out and replace with Che Adams
Onana out and replace with Dendonker and/or Phillips
Harrison returns
Charlie Taylor free transfer
Maintain rest of current squad going into the campaign
Would you consider that an improved squad or be worried?
Financially we'd make money from the above.

literally the worst/laziest shout when it comes to player or management recruitment. oh they've been crap in the premier league for years but they know it so that's great then.

Jesus wept. Your figures are way out. Every club is tight on PSR but they are whacking in £30 mill + bids for McNeil and Myko?
No he said it in 2021 about wanting him before he became a big name like I just said. He was saying he had wanted to sign him a couple of years before but they hadn't been able to afford him you've just misunderstood the whole point of the quote AND the explanations of it somehow but good to see you still got a dig at Dyche in for *checks notes* identifying a future England international and £45m player while they were in the championship.

Jesus Christ - these are the 2024 season highlights !! Any touch on him when he's in possession and he throws himself on the floor. On £150k a week ! 28 years old and poor injury record. And history of poor professionalism - Guardiola publicly slated him for being overweight. Psychologically, a player on his way down in his career. Good luck to the lad if he joins us and hope he's brilliant but it's a very expensive risk in terms of wages and loan fee - can we afford to take such a risk ?
Harrison is a no brainer mate, it keeps the structure from last year and if the loan clause is to be believed costs us a negligible amount compared to having to bring someone in to replace him. Another thing i dont think that gets mentioned or acknowledged with him, is he arrived here injured and didnt have a proper preseason, he just came into the team in Sep/Oct - i think a lack of a preseason showed at times, ive seen him better, so with that - if he comes, i think we see a better player next year.
Gomes to Phillips would be the flip for me, Gomes cost us 11 mill a year, so even if we were to invest a bit (negotiable with City) with his wage we save money.
Priority for me would be flipping Onana, for someone who can stand on the ball, playmake and create - we badly need this - the absolute priority. They dont come cheap and we would need to look for value - maybe Ndiaye who we were strongly linked with who hasnt really taken of in France and who we seemed to hold a strong interest in. Another player i really like is Odobert at Burnley, but this close season will be all about cutting our cloth - but a winger and a play maker id say is a step too far.
Taylor another no brainer in my opinion.
Working on the probably wrong assumption that DCL signs a new contract, Young superstar stays and Pickford isn't sold.
If DCL goes id be after Adebayo.
Would much rather sell Onana and DCL then Branthwaite if it was up to me.
