With Kane I'd want to have his replacement/cover bought at the same time, and £65-70M should be maximum we pay for him, if we could get him for that fee and also buy Ferguson from Brighton or Hojlund from Atalanta as his deputy, otherwise we're back to relying on Martial who can barely stay fit for 5 games in a row.
Somehow I can't see Maguire leaving the PL, he's a meat, twomveg and Yorkshire puddings type of guy, I could see Everton or maybe even Aston Villa going for him.
City's depth is on another level without a doubt and we absolutely need two midfielders, Ten Hag has wanted a ball carrying #8 since we failed to get De Jong so that is a priority this summer, and then we need to get real cover for Casemiro as like you say the McTominay farce can't continue. It looks like Mac Allister is going to Liverpool and I hope we don't spend another summer chasing De Jong, Bellingham would remain my prority followed by Barella, after that it starts to look a little bleaker.
Agreed, we have plenty of options for that #10 spot, which is kind of a hybrid #8/10 under Ten Hag, as you say we have 3 senior options in Bruno, Eriksen and Sancho, and like you I'd love to see Amad get a chance, although I think he'll probably be on the RW for now. I really don't want Mount in general but the price being talked about is £60M+ which would be throwing money away when so much needs doing.
Exactly, I just want them gone, it's been excruciating watching the incompetence at the club see us slide further away from the top, and I want to see Ten Hag with proper owners and a proper football structure above him to help.
Bad refs or not, Mourinho hiding in the parking lot to confront them after comes off like a Fast & the Furious villain. I get being frustrated by decisions not going your way but Mourinho always takes it a few steps further.
Guess he’ll pick up a ban for that.Bad refs or not, Mourinho hiding in the parking lot to confront them after comes off like a Fast & the Furious villain. I get being frustrated by decisions not going your way but Mourinho always takes it a few steps further.
I have a Utd friend who absolutely hates Mount. This is going to be the worst news possible.
If you have 3 up front they can’t all have free attacking roles in today’s game. Off the ball they need to work hard like recent Liverpool at their best before the fall-off, with Mane, Firmino and Salah.Mourinho fumes at referee Anthony Taylor after Roma's Europa League final defeat
Can understand Mourinho's frustrations, the officiating was atrocious. The main decision or non-decision being the reason not to award a penalty to Roma 10 minutes from time for handball. They are given all season long, even more so when reviewed by VAR but somehow between them all they decided in this particular instance, it wasn't a penalty.. which even to a neutral is infuriating. If I was a Roma fan I'd be pissed.
Lionel Messi to leave Paris Saint-Germain, confirms head coach
Ultimately his time at PSG has been a failure, it seemed to me when he joined he was primarily doing so as it was hoped by PSG he'd push them over the top in the Champions League & from his own personal perspective I'm sure he wanted to at least draw even in the number of CL wins as Ronaldo.
He probably thought he'd get an easy ride to at least one, however in reality his arrival probably created more problems than it solved as you then had 3 players up front, who really aren't really going to help your pressing game or ball recovery.

3 players is nearly a third of your outfield team. Very hard to compete against a team where everyone is contributing when you have that many players who are useless off the ball. Also much better for team spirit when everyone is giving everything and there is shared responsibility for both attack and defence. What happens if your DMs are having an off day otherwise - you're not even going to see the ball and those attackers will be contributing very little.Yeah you can get away with 1 forward player having a low defensive workrate, but they'd need to be giving you an average of goal a game so say 35+ goals & maybe another 10 or so assists to make you tolerate, I think only Mbappe has met that quota the last few years.
However you can't have all 3, not against good teams anyway which almost all Champions League teams are.
