Why so much on fullbacks / Wingbacks?
The best side last year had Moses and Alonso in those positions. The best RB in the league is a converted 16m winger.
Poch improved Walker himself to a high level.
Fullbacks is an actual position that a top manager can manage and manipulate but not for Pep.
110m please.
 
They paid a fortune on their defense all these past years and all in vain.
On shite like Mangala, Demechelis, and Otamendi. Walker + Mendy are class and would walk into any other side in the league.

Mangala and Otamendi weren't shite when they signed for them. They became shite after wearing City shirt.
 
55m for a fullback. What the feck?

That's true. I just can't see either of these fullbacks failing.
 
If Bonucci is available for 40m do it and get rid of Smalling and Jones.

Mangala and Otamendi were supposed to be highly rated at the time. Walker was on a comparable level to Valencia and Moses last season and I imagine the hype surrounding Mendy will fade a bit.

It certainly isn't worth spending £100m on a pair of full-backs.
 
So 100m on the full backs and 80m on Ederson and Silva. And Sanchez will cost 90m reportedly. Guardiola the promoter of youth .
 
Exactly which is why if Jose and his scouts reckon he can do a job for us then he cant be that bad. As for the cost involved the market has gone nuts and nobody is worth the money being quoted.

What's the issue exactly? I have even said in his thread that I haven't followed his career closely and have seen him have good games. I'm not even against the signing, he just wouldn't excite me, what's the issue with that? If he comes then that's grand and hopefully he's nowhere near as bad as some make out.

If you want a row, you're barking up the wrong tree as I'm completely indifferent to signing him. Pop over to the Perisic thread and you'll find plenty who think he's utter wank; you' have your pick of folk to argue with.
 
It was in response to someone suggesting we sell both Jones and Smalling and would buy Bonucci.

First of all I don't think Jose will sell both Jones and Smalling, he'll keep one around for cover. Imo together with Bailly, Lindelof, Rojo and Tuanzebe that is comfortable.

If we would sell both, it would be stupid to spend alot on someone like Bonucci as we already have alot of good centrebacks. I think we might someone in reserve that won't cost alot of money. But if we didn't I think we would also be ok as we have 4 good centrebacks and on top of that Blind, Carrick, Darmian and TFM that could cover in case of emergency aswell. It is more cover than most teams have.

ah ok - missed that :)
 
City were weak in both full back positions last summer. Signing Mendy and Walker will improve them massively.
 
Pep should resign the day the season ends if he doesn't win the league with the squad he'll have. They should be making the last 4 of the CL, too.

An injury to either of their full backs and they are in even worse state than last season even after spending 100m on full backs:D:D:D
