Summer Bee
Midfield
As the title states, what for you would your ideal (but still realistic) summer transfer window look like in terms of ins and outs?
Just a bit of fun, and a distraction from the thousands of random links that are already floating about
My purely speculative list
Ins:
Pickford - Top teams have 2 top class keepers. Bayern this season had Urbig come in for league games immediately after European games where Neuer would start. Good for home grown as well.
Lucumi - The link that won't go away. Looks like an absolute unit, seems much more likely to leave with Bologna missing out on Europe, and with Europa we should be in a great position.
Geertruida - Class player who seems to have slotted in really well. Plays across numerous positions and is going to be very useful for squad depth
Archie Brown - Already linked and we definitely need a left back. Looks a really tidy player and can play across quite a few positions
Henderson - i know he's 100 years old, but we've seen the importance of having a 2nd manager on the pitch this season, and the consequence of not having it. High wages, low fee, again good for home grown
Arthur Avom - Another already linked, can play in a few central positions and is already known by Regis. Seems to have a really high ceiling and is growing in value at a young age
Marmoush - The marquee signing. I watched him when he played for Frankfurt and I can say that Man City have not got out of him what I expected. He is rapid, has an eye for a goal and would immediately improve us.
Bamba Dieng - 10 in 22 last season for a mid-table Lorient side, and now out of contract. Signed by Regis before being sent out on loan by his successor.
Outs
Patto - £8m would be a great price for us, and right now is third choice. Id love to see him do well somewhere
Masuaku - We need better, never looked like he was at the required level
Adingra - Clearly a very good player, doesn't fit the way we play. A good world cup could see his value go up nicely
Diarra - Clearly very talented, and one of only two players I think would divide opinion on this list. Getting the money back we spent on him could allow us to reinvest better IMO
Mundle - Its a shame he's on here, because I really rate him, but he's not at the level we need and we could improve that area if he moved on
Mayenda - there is a possibility he turns into a world beater, and getting shot of him is a mistake, but for where we are right now it makes sense.
Hjelde, Pembele, Rusyn, Ba, Aleksic, Abdullahi all that they're not good enough
