Can't blame them for wanting him. He absolutely ripped them apart last season.

Ditto all our other striker targets, TBF.

What @Appy was referring to:

Indeed. John Percy wrote earlier that Forest /Fulham both want him but Liverpool only want to sell (not loan) for £15m.

Waiting for @SaintsLoyal to finish watching… ⏰ 🧨

Believe that was them going to the TransferRoom event in Spain.

Very much agree… He was ahead of his time on this topic:

I hope he doesn’t get sent on loan to the Turkish 2nd division

Latest Man City article in The Athletic saying that Palmer (& possibly) McAtee expect to get first team minutes with them next season, if Sterling & Jesus are sold. Mentions Delap as going out on loan.

Really pleased to see Jacob Tanswell has got the Saints role of Saints reporter for The Athletic. He’s a really good writer & (for me) was the obvious candidate. All the best to @Dan Sheldon, The Athletic & good luck with the Manchester move.

Legit fulfilled a lot of our required criteria. Incidentally, saw this in the Guardian report: "During his time on the books at Anfield, Awoniyi had seven loan spells" (Just thought that was interesting, since we've been talking a lot about prospective loans between clubs owned by our Danish & Serbian overlords)

I wonder if this puts us out of the running for the City kid, Lavia?

Thought I’d start a thread on prospective signing, Mattias Svanberg, largely because Alex Crook says there’s no substance to the deal - so I assume it’s imminent. Im guessing he’d be eyed as a centre-mid option as opposed to a #10.

Need somebody to score.

I think I’ve solved it. FYI, TransferRoom CEO & Founder is a Jonas Ankersen. Explains why they got an interview with Rasmus (MLG posted the tweet on the Sport Republic Thread).

Great find, MLG. Hope there’s more to that interview

Sorry, I’ve already got exclusivity on the Chartered boat trip with @Convict Colony. Website coming soon if you’d like to book tickets. PS - @Matthew Le God will be launching a GoFundMe page for digging his canal to Valenciennes FC if anyones got any spare cash.

I wasn’t comparing us to Liverpool. But Liverpool aren’t stupid. They would know the Mane / Salah demands don’t match their wage structure & they would’ve cashed in on 1 of them (in my opinion) had the pandemic not hit.

Arguably, the pandemic cost them that chance. I’m pretty sure they planned to sell one of Mane or Salah to Real or Barca a year or 2 ago for big cash if they hadn’t run into £ problems.

Leeds are becoming a bit of a nemesis for players: This, re: The possible Kalvin Phillips deal: City youngsters could be used as makeweights in deals this summer. As reported by The Athletic, Belgian starlet Romeo Lavia has already caught the eyes of Southampton and Leeds United this summer, which could aid the pursuit of Phillips. It is also believed that Leeds are very keen to bring in 19-year-old midfielder James McAtee, whether permanently or on loan. City plan to keep him close to their first-team unit for next season and are not thought to be open to any departure, but their resolve may be tested should the Phillips pursuit drag on. Brighton had been interested in McAtee’s signature last summer, but it is not thought to be an option currently. There are plenty of other young players in the ranks at the Etihad who could come into the equation.
