Someone will have to be sold in summer if we want to refresh the squad, and Fof will certainly need replacing, he'll be off back down to London as fast as his legs, or Terrior Taxis, will carry him. Our owners don't have a pot to piss in, so incomings will have to be financed by outgoings or we'll have to go further into debt.
Odobert looks the obvious one, Kaleosho would have been another but for his injury, Brownhill with just a year left on his contract will be another, Benson, Zaroury and a couple of our loanees might bring in a few bob, but players like Beyer, Foster, Trafford, Ekdal, Ramsey, Al Dakhil and Amdouni will not have increased in value this season and there's no chance of us cashing in on them. Vinni's million pound player is still not in sight and with relegation looming our financial situation looks precarious to me.
But what do I know ?
It’s a mistake BT at that this kid is potentially on a par with your Bellinghams of the world - to come here at 18 years old and frighten Premiership defenders to death is no mean feat.
Inside outside ball stuck to feet - injection of pace and an end product plus can score when the opportunity arises as well.
Wet Spam are sniffing already because we’re a soft touch -
If it were me anyway I’d hang on to him if that’s possible or if he has to go then it’s for proper money not a derisory amount - we got spanked last time around Pope 10 million ( joke ).
Incidentally for all the Trafford haters on here The Toon are sniffing around him as well - he must be as bad as they all say on here eh ?
We have some very good footballers in our team we don’t have the missing links to knit them all together that’s Vinnys only fault he hasn’t managed to get the right mix.
If you look at his career Man City never really had or needed a aggressive midfielder ( Barton exception - though I don’t remember him mixing it up much for them )
They predominantly have gifted central and wide players - dynamite forwards and of course Vincent at the back in front of a good solid keeper.
For me VK is still learning on the job and he’ll sus it out soon enough
