I see we're linked with De Bruyne.
I'd be very, very happy if we got him as well as Reus. Reus being Jovetic's replacement. Bring back Lopes and Denayer too. I'd let Sagna go and let Maffeo and Denayer be back up for right back. I'd even be happy letting one of Kolarov and Clichy go and just throwing Angelino in at the deep end if we need him. Both Maffeo and Angelino are proper lion-hearted young lads and they'd not shy away, im sure of it.
I just can't see Pogba happening for some reason. I don't think he'll come to City as i can just see him waiting for Real Madrid. I'm almost certain we won't get Isco as they love him now and i don't think we'll go for Sterling or Barkley as the papers have hinted at either.
Koke perhaps? We'd need a proper centre midfielder. Lampard will go, Milner will. Maybe Yaya? Only one of Yaya, Silva and Nasri will go at most i think. If i was a betting man i'd probs say none will, actually, but if really had to choose i think it'll be Nasri.
In a nutshell i can see these players maybe going with possible replacements in brackets.
Wright (Gunn from the EDS)
Sagna (Maffeo/Denayer)
Kolarov (Angelino)
Nasri (De Bruyne)
Jovetic (Reus)
Milner (Lopes)
Lampard (Koke)
Then use any of Barker, Iheanacho, Bryan, Ambrose, Boadu, Celina etc as and when we need fresh ideas.
I'd be very happy with that squad personally and i think its very possible too. Maybe a team like this for the opening day of the season would be interesting.
................... Hart .....................
Zaba Komps - Mangala Clichy
.................. Fern1 ..................
........ Koke ........ Silva ...........
De Bruyne .................Reus ....
................ Aguero ..................
Bench -
Caballero (though id rather Gunn)
Denayer
Angelino
Yaya
Lopes
Bony
Fernando
Not in the match day squad - Demichelis, Maffeo, Dzeko, Navas, EDS kids etc
I know this won't happen but id be happy with this to be honest. I'd be even happier with a potential a-lister like Bale or Pogba etc but i cant see it.
