Backtracking is the name of the game.

Atalanta have played a blinder with Romero. Using their option to sign him for £14m and immediately selling him for £47m, and getting Merih Demiral on loan with an option to buy. 

Mad how well they seem to be run when it comes to recruitment. Surprised no one has tried to get Maehle or Gosens from them yet.

Seemingly a fair bit of paper talk linking Gosens to City, which probably has no legs but I could see happening if Mendy goes. Maehle has only been there since January, can't see them being keen to let him go yet.

City seemingly want to ship out Mendy, Bernardo Silva, and one or two others I can't find confirmed names for but a lot of people jumping to the conclusion it's Laporte and Sterling.

[Arjen Robben]

I could have maybe seen Sterling being someone they'd consider letting go or using as a makeweight in a deal this summer but I feel like his performances at the Euros might have changed that and turned that idea in to a non-starter.

I think if City are serious about Kane, Bernardo Silva and Aymeric Laporte would be ideal players to try using as makeweights. Both fix problems Spurs have and would presumably reduce the 160m-odd fee that keeps getting touted.

[Arjen Robben]

I feel like it'd be a mistake getting rid of Laporte, they only recently solved their defensive problems with Dias so they have better depth in him, Laporte and Stones. With Eric Garcia gone now if one of those get injured then I think there's only Nathan Ake to step in and I'm not sure he's really good enough for them really, and after him you have like... Philippe Sandler. Feel like it'd be nailed on they'd end up having a nightmare again in defence if they let Laporte go.

Find it very strange what's happened with Bernardo Silva too tbh. Seems to be a weird thing sometimes with City players where they have a great season and then just suddenly fall down the pecking order out of nowhere. Similar happened with Laporte actually, and Sane.

[DavidMarrio]

Wasn't part of Bernardo Silva wanting to go is that he just doesn't want to play in the Prem anymore and wants to go to a new league? 

[Arjen Robben]

Haha, what a mess of a club.

[METALMAN]

awww he just wanted to play football with his pal

[Szumi]

Going to be a revolt at Inter over this one

 

Sargent is legitimately one of the best pressing forwards in the Bundesliga. However, his finishing is absolutely woeful. I'd be pleasantly shocked if he scores more than 5 goals in the league for Norwich.

Aguero to PSG as well then!

[Arjen Robben]

Should agree to mutually terminate his contract and try and use that 270k they'll be saving on his salary on trying to sign Messi. That'd really rub salt in the wound.

[Baddar]

Pjanic is apparently on an absolute fortune too. Didn't even feature much last season, and he was brought in as part of the dodgy FFP deal with Arthur going the other way to Juve.

I like how Baddar can't embed tweets properly. It's so adorable.

[Baddar]

I literally just screenshot them and crop it. I've had issues with actual tweets not showing before, so who's the real winner here? I'm still living in 2001, deal with it.

[Roster Depth Sicko No. 2]

The real winner is Szumi because he posted both of those tweets 3 hours ago.
