Guardiola identifies FB targets

Would rather he went for Kimmick and Hector...thought Rodriguez was no better than Kolorov at defending...ok going forward and taking free kicks...a la Kolorov.

Hector and Kimmick are far better players imo...and Kimmick is a Pep work in progress, and can play in various positions.

Can't see Bayern letting gimmick go. Doesn't he play midfield? Hector is a decent shout. 1 or 2 German national team defenders doesn't seem like such a bad idea.

Kimmick was a MF player, who was played at RB and CB by Pep....I know it's a long shot, but don't ask, don't get.

Guess we'll hear more accelerated transfer news next week on who's leaving. Looks like Zaba has confirmed he's leaving for £2.5m....shame, City legend.

Still, we can add that £2.5m to the £1m we made on that other player, so there's another £3.5m to add to the rest of the money....we just need to move the shite on - Kolorov, TLMLF, Navas, Bony, one of the CB's as well. That should bring in another £40m+.

We'd need to get a lot for the CB if we're going to break forty mill. We're only getting two and a half for Zab and he's a legend, so those four won't break double figures.

So you're saying we bought Bony for £28m, but we'll get less than £10M????

No, just that we'd probably have to pay to get someone to take the other three off our hands

Sorry, I wasn't very clear, I meant they wouldn't break double figures each. They've not exactly gained any good reputation while here and no club is going to pay us over the odds knowing that they are surplus to requirements and we're not exactly shy of funds.

Navas would comfortably go for double figures. Yaya, in the last year of his contract, might not, unless he's going to China. Bony would get us £20M looking at transfer fees these days (Deeney £30M).

I think we'd get £20m for Bony or £25m if we threw him in for getting Stones. Let's face it, they'll get £40m+ for Lukaku if he leaves, plus another £20m from us...that's big money to spend to strengthen their squad on top of what the new owner will put in.

Kolorov - should get us £8m

Navas should get us £10m

TLMLF...I'm not arsed if he buys his contract out, as long as he fucks off!!

That's £28m if we say £10m in wages for TLMLF....that means we can swap Bony, Navas and TLMLF for Stones.

Gundogan has replaced TLMLF, Nolito can replace Navas, Bony.....well he's useless anyway, so it's no loss. If we get Sane, that replaces Bony as well.

All we need then is another 2 FB's and a keeper.....or we can add another striker to make it Aguero, Kelechi and one other - as I'd far rather trust Pep with 3 strikers than I did MP.

I'm sure Navas is staying
