Pogba, Kroos, Fernando ?? The possibilities are endless. Hoping it's the latter, else would be very unfair on the Premier League.

Sky are getting serious, Andy Burton (two, three, four five phones and all) is on the case.
Iheancho should be first back up for Aguero though. God knows when he will play when two of the best strikers are ahead of him with one spot to play for. Add in that Pep rarely rotates so when does he play?
Copa del Capital One.
He'll be loaned out for a couple of seasons, then sold.
Catch 22 with clubs like ourselves and City. Go for a big named striker and potential lose out on developing Kelchi and Rashford, or go more experienced but possibly past it striker and allow the youth striker to get game time.

I think you might be forgetting about their best player last season...
We are going to lock him in a broom cupboard for the season.
Demichellis? As much as I love watching him play for City... best player is stretching it a little!
no seriously, I know I forgot Sterling and I've assumed Yaya is off.\
Edit: Ah shite... I'm an idiot. Clearly my subconscious has chosen not to accept that he plays for City anymore.
Even so, he's got 4 years left on his contract and given the Gundogan and Hummels sales, Dortmund should just tell him to sit tight as it wouldn't be the right moment for them to let another key player leave.
I get that the "player power" has drastically increased in recent years, but just because a player would be keen to move on doesn't mean the club should just suck it up.
As for the Sky story - they're just citing Di Marzio. Both reliable sources, but I just can't see it happening.
No white text?.....
Meant to put the Sterling bit in white text. It's been a long day...
sorry Kevin.
Can't see all this happening, but it would be crazy nonetheless:

If City manage to get all 3 of Stones, Laporte and Aubameyoung, they will run away with the league.
I'm still not sure if you've got it.
I think they'll get them all. That isn't the nightmare scenario though, the nightmare scenario is them getting Pogba too.
How can they even get Laporte ? He's out with a long term injury.
Didn't stop them from getting Gundogan who dislocated his kneecap.
But don't these transfers involve passing the medical as well ?? Didn't we not sign RvN because of his ACL injury and had to wait a year ?
Don't really know how it works. Maybe they do medical for other stuff but not for his injured part? Gundogan signed with a dislocated kneecap, he had to have passed some sort of medical or maybe they waived it.
Laporte is injured and Stones is shit....
Seems like a blatant bending of the rules for me. Even FM doesn't let me sign an injured player..
Shhhhhh let them get Stones
Medicals are more to find unknown injuries/if the club decides to worry about it. Naturally the club can still sign an injured player, wouldn't make sense if they couldn't.
Oh good, it's turned in a City fantasy formation thread.
Oh, I thought it was a FIFA rule that did not allow you to sign a player if they failed a particular set of tests/protocol. Anything extra is purely from the club's perspective as you said, since I recall Liverpool deciding not to sign Loic Remy after they found some irregularity in one of his tests.
De Gea
Valencia Smalling Bailey Shaw
Pogba Schneiderlin
Rashford Griezmann Martial
Ibrahimovic
I mean I could be wrong, but logically it's like:
Player A has hamstring injury at time of medical. naturally it doesn't represent long term worry for the club. Should they be denied being able to sign him just because of that? Of course logic doesn't always find its' way into things so...
Caballero
Zabaleta Mangala Demichellis Kolarov
Delph Fernandinho
Navas --- Nasri --- Sterling
Bony
Ofcourse logically, it makes a tonne of sense. Just not clear on the regulations behind it.
Whilst I wouldn't like to see yours, I certainly wouldn't like to see mine.
De Gea
Bailey Smalling Manolas Shaw
Matic
Rooney Gomes
Ounas Zlatan Martial
Four signing, that's about the number most people thought. Strengthening, but not over the top.
Dream signings. I'd squeeze TFM in. Probably at Rashy's expense.
