What's new

Alex Sandro

They have sold a few players do can offer Sandro a imroved deal that would match what we could give him.

He stays for sure

I think i have given up on this transfer now. To be honest i don't really know many other good LWB who we could buy.

 
Hey guys I'm new here. I followed this forum for quite some time now as a "passive member" but eventually decided to sign up.

I also believe that chances on signing Sandro are really slim. I used to state that Alonso's last season was stronger than Moses', but after yesterday's match I#m not so sure (even if it was only the first game). What it clearly showed was that we cannot rely on Kenedy as a backup. It's really unfortunate that Baba is injured cause in my opinion he started to look really good, but right now one cannot know. In my opinion Ryan Bertrand would be an obvious option, and contrary to others I don't think he's only mediocre. Imo he has all the assets a strong full back and the pace a WB needs, and provide fair challenge to Alonso. One player I'm even more impressed by though is his RWB teammate Cedric Soares! I think he looks absolutely great and I really really hope we consider that option

Have to agree with Cedric as a good option for RWB he is a solid player with PL experience. It is important we get the backups for wing backs in quite quickly, our whole system of play revolves around this position. Kenedy as you quite rightly stated isn't upto the job, his efforts yesterday added confirmation.I honestly wouldn't now waste minutes on him in matches in pre season.  Trouble is the bar has now been set as to the value of this position by City's purchases and getting a  backup might be very hard cheaply.

It does, and will do so even more should we switch to 3-5-2 this season, which personally I hope. In my opinion both would be very strong transfers and against Alonso and Moses both would have a 50% first team chance (why by a clear back-up if you can go for healthy competition). It's just a shame they both play for Soton, which makes getting both veeeerry unlikely, but one of them would be great to start with

 
Just spend the 100+ mil it takes to land Sandro + Felipe Anderson. Attacking wingbacks are going to be very important for us when we have Bakayoko, Kante or "Matic" in central midfield.

Morata for Oscar + Traore 

Bakayoko for "Costa"

Rudiger for Ake + Begovich 

Surplus : Cuadrado 17mil, Chalobah fee, Solanke Tribunal fee, Lukaku sell on fee, Atsu, 6mil, Loan Fees

Add all of this to our big increase in revenue this year from CL, sponsorship etc.
