Savinho

One to return to depending on how his season goes from now until January - clearly we've left the option open, since we haven't bought anyone for that left-wing role.

But if he really wants a move from City, he'll need to throw his toys out of the pram a bit more.

I think the saddest reality of this window is that the players who do bad things to get moves are rewarded.
Isaak and Wissa = rewarded, Guehi = mugged at the last. Two whined and tinkled and moaned, one did not.

For sure mate. And it's a reminder that loyalty goes both ways - we as fans tend to want players to stay loyal forever, but are happy to discard those we see no use for.

Clubs also need to do right by their players, and Guehi and Savinho have the right to feel aggrieved at the way they've been treated.

And it's why our relationship with Sonny was such a unique thing, because it was a rare example of both the club doing something right by the player (giving him a new deal before the Asian Cup despite knowing that he would get conscripted if they lost) - and the player then repaying that faith by sticking with us in hard times.

Guehi will cash in next summer. Sure he'll be just fine.

That's professional sports. Son is a rare one. Everyone else is all about selfish fears and hopes. We've had our fair share of players who didn't complete their contracts. Didn't make a public fuss doesnt mean they are innocent of forcing moves.

I really agree with this. It goes both ways, and clubs are happy to discard players they no longer want. I don’t have any sympathy or think any side needs it either way, it just is what it is. If you have leverage, you have it. If not, you’ve gotta wait until you do.

Guehi will be absolutely fine. He’ll get his pick of clubs next year with a fat signing on fee. Of course there’s a risk he gets injured this season and is never the same player, but it’s a first world problem.

Isak too got his move, and allowed Saudi Sportswashing Machine to strengthen with two signings in his place. He was valuable enough that they could do that.
 
I think i would prefer Yan Diomande from the LWFs we are linked with so far. But most of the names seem decent enough, and more importantly they are all pure left sided players they could give us a better balance
 
I think he'd be perfect. Aggressive, creative player. Scorer and assister. Can play both sides. Knows how to combine with Simons from their time together at PSV.

He's just not a Guardiola robot, which isn't a slight on anyone.

We need to play hard ball with City and him, if they want to sell and he wants to leave, it needs to happen early, otherwise fudge off.

City don't play unnecessary games. They will sell if their valuation is met. With Semenyo arriving they are overstocked. Hopefully something around £45m gets it done.

Think they kind of did in summer with him, usually I agree but we need to be clear ourselves, either we offer and either they accept or not.
