Yeah that sounds more accurate. Silva is really good, too, although I do wonder why they didn't spend that money on full-backs.

Because they will spend near that kind of money (the £43m reported) on full backs as well? City have All The Money.

Manchester City could face a player registration ban due to the transfer of 15 year old Benjamin Garre from Velez Sarsfield in Argentina.

While the kid has Italian citizenship the whole no minors transferring in from outside EU still applies.

They already cried to FIFA about this who straight up dismissed it (twice), I don't see why CAS will do anything different.

Also I'm pretty sure they're taking FIFA to trial, not City directly.

Huh.

I refuse to believe a footballer from the A-League will ever make it in the Premier League but I may be proven wrong!

Aaron Mooy may do it this season. He was on loan to Huddersfield last season and really impressed. I doubt he'd stay at City, but a loan/transfer to Huddersfield again or another club in the Premier League isn't unlikely.

It may end up that Dani Alves is actually reuniting with Pep at City. Bit of a stopgap replacing 33/34 year old and slow right backs with a better and faster 34 year old right back though.

With him and Navas gone, City will need to get another attacker, can't wait to see a front three of Aguero, Gabriel Jesus, and Alexis Sanchez with either Sane or Sterling off the bench.

So city are getting Danilo and Mendy. That's a mega upgrade over Clichy and Sagna for sure

I don't have anything bad to say about Sagna to be honest, but the other three full backs were definitely in decline. City still need a second left back though, with Kolarov a) being poo poo and b) heading to Roma

I'm not sure you get to lol at expensive players when your club spent £50m on Kyle Walker.

If midfielders and forwards are woth £70-90m then why shouldn't defenders balloon in price too? And if that's the logic then you lot have no say either with the whole di Maria affair, or Pogba. Martial hasn't been great either.

The money means nothing to these teams/owners. Every top team will have to do this now, otherwise their backups will go for just as much money to start for Everton/Southampton/etc.
