United linked with Griezmam, Perisic, Rodriguez

City have signed Silva and are in talks with Ederson and Walker

Liverpool look to be getting Keits and VVD

Chelsea linked with Lukaku and Perisic

And were getting linked with Cuco Martina. Moshiri better dig deep if he thinks we can compete with the teams above.

Keita £9mill last season
Ederson £500k 2 years ago
Silva £11mill 2 seasons ago
Van Dijk £13 mill 2 seasons ago

While we are at it
Kante £5.6mill 2 years ago
Mendy (Monaco LB) £11mill last season
Thomas Lemar £3mill 2 seasons ago
Fabinho £5mill 2 seasons ago

Its not all about 'digging deep' and spending £300mill. All the players above have or will move for huge money when this team below cost under £60mill. We need to find the next lot.

Ederson

Fabinho VVD ...... Mendy

Lemar Keita Kante Silva

.........

I have to ask mate. Are you like this in real life?

Like when you do a big shop, you see other people looking at all the boss 'Finest' range stuff but your Mrs only lets you look at the value bits and on a special occasion the discounted isle and you get dead annoyed and post about it on BookFace or something?

All have champions league and are much richer then we are.

I will never understand how poeple think we are going to go all city/chelsea and drop 200 million on 3 players.

Good god man, have a carb and chill the hell out. We can all kick off if it's September and all we have brought in a back up RB.

Calm down, we've also been linked with the Harry Maguire.
 
Why? No offence, but we can't be mad at a player who would choose one of the world's top 5 teams, especially as he'd be backup for either team. May as well keep our hat in the ring and pursue other targets in the meantime. If we find better value leave him hanging and he may himself have to resort to plan c or d.


Because Sandro wanting Atletico could drag on and on with them currently serving a ban and waiting to hear if it will be over turned, then if it is their priority seems to be Lacazette so will want that tied up first I think so we shouldnt wait around. We did it with Witsel practically all summer last year for him only to tell us no when we could of moved on to other targets. In end we had to wait till January to get a midfielder in we wanted in Schneiderlin...

that's why i said pursue other targets in the meantime, but if he was seemingly our plan a as our 3rd choice striker then it's no harm in waiting. The window isn't even close to opening yet, bit pointless in giving up on our first targets if their alternative is a team with a transfer ban.

Well going by how City are going about business, and the fact the likes of Utd, Arsenal, Chelsea, Spurs & Liverpool haven't even got going with their dealings, we're going to struggle to bridge the gap anyway. City are after some very good players, top drawer and if they get the lot their gonna be right up there for the league. Chelsea will spend and now they have the CL will be able to entice players, same goes for Utd. Spurs will chop and change but still be strong and even them lot across the park having better pulling power than us now with CL footy so it's not going to be easy for us.

We are going to be able to sign some good players this summer but the facts are we're going to be fishing in a different talent pool to the teams above us! Fact of the matter is, and it's like Barry Horne said the other day, we could go and spend silly by our standards only to stand still. As daft as it sounds we could easily go and spend £150m on players and still not have enough about us to break into the top 6, even if we bought wisely! That's just the reality of it.

But we were never going to be a quick fix. It's gonna take time, a number of Windows to hopefully transform us into a seriously competitive side within our league and a genuine threat to the top four and beyond.
