That makes for interesting reading. If we can look beyond the position the player is stood in we can see that nobody on our team is as good at ball recovery/turnovers as Bissouma. That’s where my concern lies, I don’t mind if our ‘CDM’ is positioned in a midfield 2,3,4 or 5, wether they’re lined...

Goodness, we must be due some first team signings then.

Out of curiosity when was the quote dated? As things stand* the first XI I’d obviously far weaker and we don’t have a left back. *assuming Cucu has gone.

When Biss joined we had Stephens, an experienced CDM. We now don’t have one. That’s all I’m saying, we don’t have a player who has really had a consistent amount of game time playing that position. I find that a touch worrying seeing as Bissouma was our best player and his absence is clearly...

I believe he can certainly cover the position for certain games, but I’m not necessarily convinced it’s a role that he’d want long term.

Maybe, but any of our current players would be a project, that seems unnecessarily risky when trying to cover for a player of Bissouma’s talent. Obviously we can’t just stroll and buy a carbon copy but I’d feel more comfortable if we signed someone who has played more than a handful of games in...

I can only think of Adingra and Enciso, 1 of which has already gone on loan, the other doesn’t cover the holes we have in defence or midfield.

We don’t have another CDM in the squad?

Unlikely, surely? I know you can circle them both as central midfielders but they play very different roles. We have an abundance of CMs but none that you’d define as CDM which was Bissouma’s role.

Just my opinion but it’s only a good deal if we actually sign some first team players, losing your 2 best players in one window is pretty bad, not having replacements is irresponsible. I also don’t think that it’s particularly fair on Potter.

I’ve fought a good fight on Twitter but I’ve run out of energy, City fans are a blinkered bunch delusional *****. They haven’t got their way so are desperately trying to insult the club. It would have been fitting if they had named one of their stands the (Colin) Bell End.

Wow, they’re really not very well informed on the situation are they.

Although I want Cucu to stay, I’d be delighted if Barcelona somehow found another £60m in a filing cabinet somewhere and swooped in for him.

Curu?

Two completely different scenarios though, Cucurella doesn’t have 1 year left on his contract. If we can sell Ben White to Arsenal for £50m I’m quite sure the club can negotiate a proper deal for Cucurella.

This guy is usually very accurate. 1540289009448108033

But they bought them for fun.

I can see Cucu starting for another year with an eye on going back to Barcelona.

€41m, please. These ‘ITKs’ aren’t even trying.
