Wes Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 (edited) New name doing the rounds - Cheick Doucouré. 21yo Defensive Midfielder for Lens. Goal.com (France Edition) "Atalanta Bergamo and Aston Villa have been exchanging for several weeks with the player and his representatives. More than a simple inquiry, the two clubs exposed their project to the player. It remains to be seen, if three weeks before the end of the transfer window one of the two will send an offer. RC Lens expects nearly 15 million euros." FBRef TransferMarkt Whoscored BreakingTheLines Scouting Report Edited August 9, 2021 by Wes 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've already proved with Young that we don't mind going back. I mean... he'd be an unbelievable signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave-R Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 13 minutes ago, skarroki said: Can't be many clubs that can afford him right now. Guardiola says anyone can leave if they come forward to the club with an offer from another club. I don't think there's anyone wanting out of City that will accept anything less than Champions League football, can you think of anyone attainable? End of the season if they don't win no trophys, we may see a couple wanting out. They already messed up one trophy, the stress is on them to do so well that alone can be so much pressure.

There's already 6/7 players well documented as wanting out, the point I was trying to make was that I think they'll all want to move to a champions league club instead of a club not in Europe. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Few years older and his stats aren’t quite as good as Sarr, but looks a prospect. Neil at FTLOPM was talking about him months ago as an ideal option for DM, at €15M be much cheaper than Sarr too.

Ivan or Luka? Can't find info. Looks like Ivan is off to Serie A and Luka is on loan in the Eredivisie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
