If this really happens(by this I mean Zlatan recovering from his injury), then it's really a no brainer for us.

I think he'll stay. He's clearly enjoying his time at the club and the players, staff, etc love having him.
I do wonder how he and Lukaku would fit alongside each other.
Will be a great stopgap until Griezmann joins next summer.
Those are backups tho. Who are you dripping? Bailly?

He said that Alves had snubbed City.
With Castles reporting it, I think it's likely to be true.
Unless the Spurs really WANT WANT WANT him, then DADDY LEVY better GET GET GET him.

Seems that he doesn't want to leave Italy. There have been a dispute with Allegri during the CL final break, because Bonucci said Juve played to defensively.
If that's true and he want's to stay, Milan is a relastic option. They want to get back to top.
Bonucci + Belotti/Aubameyang and they have a briliant squad.
You ok? Or is it keyboard problem? Glastonspur wannabe
To play Bonucci I would put him in first and work about who plays with him after.
Wish he'd actually name the targets we were after. Although not name checking the usual suspects indicates to me we might be in for players we haven't previously been linked with. Also, would love to have Zlatan for the second part of the season, his personality and attitude would be brilliant to have around and great for helping new signings feel welcome.
Was half expecting this to be Fabinho at a glance.
These days he plays in blue, and sleeps in red.If he was wearing a red shirt, he would've skied that.
Im sure Lindelof and Bailly would be thrilled. Suspect Lindelof wasnt told he would be signed to sit on the bench.
I suspect he wasn't told he would be an absolute starter being 22 and coming from Benfica.
If Zlatan is ready to play off the bench, Wil he?
He bloody better be at that price
I'm not sure about him tbh. Have you watched him play last season (not judging if you haven't). I was a lot more excited about his numbers before actually watching all of his goals and his performances throughout games. Almost all of his goals are tap ins. He's a pure poacher atm. Not really much like Costa. He's shockingly good with his head considering his height but don't expect to see him dribbling past anyone, he'd be relying on great service. If you sign him you'd want to be starting Fabregas every game which might not suit your system. If I was a Chelsea fan I'd have wanted Lukaku but my 2nd choice would definitely be Morata.
Would be great to see him there or thereabouts when we are deep into Champions League or even while fighting for the League title in the end.
Amazing to have him in the dressing room during that time or even now (unofficially).
It's interesting he mentions we are after a full back and a winger/10. If it's true then you have to wonder whether there's any logic to the Perisic as full back rumors that have been floating around. Because we haven't really been linked with any full back seriously ( apart from perhaps Mendy who seems City bound). Perisic is not someone who can play as a no.10 so he doesn't seem to fit that profile. In all honesty this can play as a winger or no.10 sounds like Griezmann or someone of that ilk. But then again this is all assuming Castles is not talking BS and does indeed have some actual info.
Utd are favourites right now. City 2nd. Personally I'm not convinced their defensive signings will make any difference. They'll still be leaking goals constantly. They have to buy another rb after Walker too since they have no backup right now.
Funny how you had no problem when Chelsea were linked with 60 Million move for Sandro.
Btw, what do you think of Lukaku deal?
Stick Cashley the other side and it's perfect
Some of the comments here are amusing. City are genuinely strengthening their squad with quality and it either has to be sheer delusion, naivety, jealousy or blind bias not to see this. They should strengthen their squad and so should we, and our focus should be that come June, we finish the campaign far better than our rivals.
We're favourites with the bookies?
30 million?
In a world where Gylfi has two 40 million pound bids rejected 30 million for a CB is peanutsActually it seems to have switched since a week ago. City are now slight favourites and we're 2nd. Chelsea 3rd
That price was a decent price. Kyle Walker is going for £50mil
He makes a lot of silly mistakes if you watch him regularly in La Liga, very inconsistent goalkeeper

That is eye-watering.
Even allowing for current inflation, that is incredible.
WOW!
The crazier thing is they have only signed a few - Otamendi, Mangala, Stones, Walker, Mendy - together thats around 250m. 50m seems to be the magic numbers if City come asking for you defender.
