Transfer Tweets - Summer 2017 | Keep it on topic

Not a couple, half our games. And there are serious doubts were are we heading. An offensive midfielder like Nainggolan would make more sense, if we were going full 4-3-3.

Are there?

Fabinho - utd actually resorted to breifing that we werent in for him. There have been no reliable consistent links with any other midfielder, and even if there were, it Wouldn't mean a change in formation.

The only genuinely reliable links weve had are:

Lindelof- bought
Keane - wanted more game time.
Lukaku - bought.
Perisic - still ongoing
Greizmann - this just shows we were interested in a number 10. The fact utd stated our interst in hi m had 'cooled' showed we were interested, the ban being upheld screwed that. So by that rekoning we are more likely to still be after a number 10
 
Edit- forgot to mention matic and dier. Eoyld have thought they would be as well as hererra/pogba in that 2 of 3 midfielders (assuming fellaini goes) will play as part of midfield 2
 
I hope alves to PSG news is true that will leave city certainly short at FB position and may have to pay over the odd:drool:
 
Id rather city got alves and he was shite rather than them having to fork out money (which is easy for them) on someone who might actually be good

Nothing, really, that you said points for us to be heading dead sure for either 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3. I'll just comment on the sole argument you made, Griezmann being a #10. He's not a playmaker, he's a forward who drops deep while playing with his back against the goal, and he never in his footballing life played in 4-2-3-1! I think we were going 4-4-2 with him. All this and I agree the most likely is for us to keep the more offensive (for Mourinho) 4-2-3-1, but there are some contradictory signs.

Indeed. I think he would have been absolutely dreadful defensively in City's back 4.
 
Anyonr know where this leaves thomas muller? Would be a good signing for the right price
They still need to replace Ribery and Robben — at least as a non-dispute starters, their previous plan pretty much failed, so James is more likely to replace one of them (even if it requires a change to the system)
