Rumours flying around about Antoine Semenyo from Bournemouth.

I don't think that there will be too much business by City. But then I am really surprised that we are in for Semenyo and that does look serious now. It would appear to be the end for Savinho, if Semenyo signs.

Gathering momentum this

I'm watching him vs Chelsea.

Definitely got the skills and i can't remember a city player with a long throw.

He's been a mixed bag.

Gave away a penalty, but unlucky as he caught the players leg.

Helped to create a goal with a long throw.

Could be better when to move forward from a defensive position. But looks to have good close control.

More dangerous than Bobb and Savinho

He waved goodbye to the fans at the end of the game and shook the hands of his team mates. Defo on his way somewhere  :D

Wish him good luck obviously but worry this is another transfer where we over pay for the level of ability.

It's an upgrade on Bobb and Savinho buddy!

Though my Spurs fan mates have said its a good thing as he won't be scoring against them again  :'(


Next winger to be linked is Yan Diomande of RB Liepzig 19nyr old.

Next Marc Guehi.  Which may see us utilise a back 3 of Dias, Gvardiol and Guehi, with one of them pushing into midfield as Stones used to.


Then finally! a Rightback in Micheal Kayode. Brentford 21 yr old. Who like Seymenyo, has a long throw on him.


Would be nice to see the Heskey's given a chance though. Got to be hungrier than Bobb and no worse at shooting than Savinho

Amar Dedic Right back (Benfica, 23 yr old)

Wesley Right Back (Roma, 22 yr old)

All be it against a weak opposition. Thought Seymenyo had a decent debut. I like his quick feet.
Title: Re: January signings
Post by: Swiss on January 11, 2026, 20:19:58
Being linked with Charlie Cresswell. 23 yr old CB. (Toulouse)
Title: Re: January signings
Post by: Swiss on January 12, 2026, 21:18:07
Elliot Anderson being linked. I think its what our midfield need. Quick feet and likes to do the dirty work of tracking back
Title: Re: January signings
Post by: Hesperus on January 16, 2026, 14:09:03
Guehi on the way. Deal in final stages according to Palace manager Glasner.

Makes sense given the injuries to our CBs. I rate him. Good luck to him.

My mind is blown that we are actually getting Marc Guehi. What a sit up and pay attention notice of intent.

Two of thee best January signings ever in the PL I've got to think.

Hugo and staff of City, you get a massive high from me.
Title: Re: January signings
Post by: Swiss on January 17, 2026, 12:11:08
Probably means we won't so much in the summer except move players out.

On their way

Ake
Stones
Kovacic
Bobb
Savinho

Possibly
Silva
Lewis


Ins
Right back
Centre Mid

Then look at the youth team.

Guehi officially signed. Could have done with him on Saturday!

Good luck Marc.

I reckon that's us done in Jan.

Think we need a midfielder though. We're getting overrun in midfield all too often this season.
Title: Re: January signings
Post by: Swiss on January 19, 2026, 21:08:39
Hopefully decent for us.
Title: Re: January signings
Post by: Swiss on January 21, 2026, 22:17:23
Definitely need someone at RB and someone in the middle of the park.
Title: Re: January signings
Post by: Hesperus on January 21, 2026, 22:38:33
Agreed but I don't think we'll be buying anyone new now unfortunately.
Title: Re: January signings

Just seen Elliot Anderson being sent off for using abusive language to the ref... I couldn't see anything in it.
Title: Re: January signings
Post by: Hesperus on January 26, 2026, 19:32:30
Looks like Oscar Bobb is on his way. Fulham probably destination.
Title: Re: January signings
Post by: Swiss on January 26, 2026, 20:19:54
Seeing reports of Marmoush to Fenerbache (£26m). Which is redic!!

Also, Trent Alex-arnold..... that'll sort out our defensive issue at RB..
Title: Re: January signings
Post by: gavin on January 26, 2026, 21:28:09
It would be daft to let Marmoush go. He could be crucial in the remainder of this season. He gives us something different. Haaland has been a bit predictable waiting at the back post of late. I wouldn't suggest that Marmoush should be ahead of Haaland on the team sheet. We need both. Two different strikers to compete for a place and, on occasion, play together.
Title: Re: January signings
Post by: Hesperus on January 28, 2026, 16:54:36
Oscar Bobb deal agreed £27 million.

Good business that for us. We also have a sell on clause and matching rights for future bids that Fulham may receive.

Wonder if that means we'll bring someone in before the window shuts?
Title: Re: January signings
Post by: gavin on January 28, 2026, 17:26:05
I expect thats it. Bobb out and Semenyo in. The numbers are good up front.
Title: Re: January signings
Post by: Swiss on January 28, 2026, 23:54:28
Shame, but he didn't look arsed since he came back from injury

Ortega signed by Forest. Good luck to him.

An excellent backup keeper. He really did the business for us. Famously at Spuds as a sub but on many other occasions too. I'm a bit curious why he went totally out of favour all of a sudden when he looked to be pushing Ederson for the top spot not long ago.

I keep an eye on some players we've been linked to on the Fotmob app, one is Jon Aramburu.

He's a RB. 23. Pacey and attacking. Plays for Real Sociadad.

Gave away 2 Penalties against real madrid today  ::)
