Talk on Twitter that we’re way ahead of the scouse for Saul, and potentially have agreed a fee already That's great. Not only do we need someone like him, but stopping the scouse from getting him would be important too. We handed them CL football on a platter when we had the chance to severely damage their finances, let's not help them again.

Bruno, donny, Saul, Hannibal and mata, all playing in the no.8 position. I like it. Scott just has to get his head round the fact if he wants to be a success at the club it’s in the cdm role, improve his passing game. I like Fred’s personality but if I could get him out and get neves or rice in, I’d be all over that like a rash.
We know the quality we have in attack, defense isn’t too shabby either. If we could make a cheeky bid of dalot and say £5 million for trippier who knows…..

Reports I am reading say it still hinges on whether Pogba is leaving or not this summer and I don't think we will know the answer to that until 31st August and Saul reportedly is keen to move before the new season starts.

This is annoying, I hope they realise we need a midfielder even if pogba is staying, if he goes then we need 2!

They’re naught but a bunch of grifting fuckers who don’t give a damn about the ‘rules’ governing every other club. I utterly despise them. Allegedly they have been refusing to hand over documents requested by the investigation. Again.

Aye. We’re huge payers wage wise, because we should be, we’re, for want of a better phrase ‘market leaders’ and we turn a bigger profit. Add to that in certain we’ll do a deal for trippier. So we’ll overpay a little here to reduce a fee later on.

As an aside:
Sancho Varane Saul Trippier
For circa 170 mill, is easily the best business any club in Europe will do this Summer. Now, I’m no Ole apologist, but if he gets those last two over the line, a s we bring a superstar striker next summer, then he has to deliver.
Personally, he gets another pass this season if city get Kane and Grealish. Which is what you want it to be

Absolutely. With those four signings (and Haaland next summer) we'd have a team that could seriously challenge for the biggest trophies for at least the next five years which is pretty amazing considering who are owners are. And Liverpool and Chelsea have shown that it is possible to win the title and the Champions League even with City retaining a major financial advantage so now it is really our turn to win both competitions.
But absolutely expectations need to be raised. If we are massively raising our standards in player recruitment and selling players on the idea of helping restore us to our former glories we need to back that up with trophies. Otherwise prospective and current players will soon realize what we already have known for some time that top 4 is good enough and the owners do not really care that much about trophies and we'll only be able to attract and keep mercenaries only in it for the attractive wages we can offer.
Of course if City sign Grealish and Kane the title will be out of reach until we sign Haaland to redress the balance. But we should at least make them work hard for it and finish above Chelsea and Liverpool and win at least one of the domestic cups and get to at least the QF in the Champions League.

Saul is 7/1 to sign for us. Which would indicate that it is currently highly unlikely..
