I agree, they overpaid but they were desperate and I think he'll end up being an important player for them for a long time. Carillo was an utter abomination.

Before that it was his first season there, he was a victim of his inflated price tag. When big money signings come in nobody is willing to give them time to settle.

Pepe has been a good player for them and will become more and more important.

Yet another one absolutely raved about by the club, supposedly watched by bigger clubs, going on to lesser things. Slattery, Alfie Jones, Sims, Reed, Seager...all tipped to be big talents and ended up getting dumped.

Next summer really is a huge opportunity for us, providing we stay up. We'll finally be free of all the expensive mistakes, have a lot of extra wage budget to play around with. Ideally we'll have Tella or Salisu have a world class season so we can try and get back on track by - sorry everyone - selling one for huge money and letting Ralph reinvest it in the players he actually wants.

When they're making that much money, tell them it's £30million or they don't get him.

It's false that we've made a profit, since being back in the Prem we've spent more on transfer fees than we've received.

If there's that many sides in for him we may be getting a half decent fee as well (disclaimer, by half decent I mean anything over £5million).

Yes, easily.

I don't want Bednarek in the first team, thanks. How have we ended up with him on a long term contract and Vestergaard about to force a move due to his expiring ffs.

What a comeback story it would be if he turned things around.

Have you got a link to one of the articles saying this, or just that there has been 54 posts, as I haven't found anything at all that states how much there actually was.

This is annoyingly true. A move to City and he could score 10 goals in 30 games next season and almost certainly be in the squad.

Never bought a keepers kit before, but those are nice. Considering it.

Surprised by the amount of people on Facebook (I know) saying they'd turn down £5million. In my eyes, if we get anything at all for the expensive liabilities in our squad on top of just gettijg them off our wage bill, it's a hell of a bonus.

Once England go out this becomes the only reason to watch, the cameramen seem to spend all their time scanning the crowd for the best looking women.

Tell that to the Italians.

City have realised what Ferguson knew - repeat title wins require shaking up the squad a little bit each summer.

We should try and retain Vestergaard (unless he refuses to sign a new deal), but definitely need to upgrade on Bednarek and Stephens. One of them needs to go, the other become 4th choice and a new, experienced centreback signed. I'd go for Romain Saiss on a free from Wolves (unless I've missed him resigning for them).

Absolutely, Romeu for anything over £15million is much more replaceable than JWP even at £30million.

Getting any sort of fee AND all his wages off the bill, as well as a fee for Gunn and his and Hoedts wages too, would be superb.

This is the worry for me. Saka and Grealish are the only players who have actually got at the defense with the ball. They need to start this game...should give Foden a kick up the ass as well, he didn't look interested in carrying in his City form in the slightest.

Any chance of a picture Bender? Tempted to order both if they're at that price and decent quality. It can't be as good as the club sold version surely?

But both Scotland and Wales are home nations, so my use of the plural was correct.

£30million would not improve us, he would have to go for £50million and noone will pay that.
