Same top speed as Mbappe this season. Didn't realise how fast he is.

Mbappe 36.04km/h
Haaland 36.04km/h

maybe play him RB as a walker replacement??

joking...would love to see city counter now with KDB and Haaland

They've been scouting their own player?

Prior to signing him they scouted him for a long time

Anyone know much about this kid? looks phenomenal  

 

Looks like a fantastic player, city have been scouting him for some time according to my sources. Excellent positional play, strong, powerful, capable dribbler and able to play rw and cf

£35 million seems very cheap  for Cucurella I would have thought £50m.

 

according to my reliable sources inside city this is the sort of price range, originally believed to be about £30m with a deal thought to be achievable at £35m although could rise up to the £40m mark.

There is also a second signing confirmed (not cucurella or Phillips) although I am unable to share further info on this topic

1. Cucurella - very likely now, lots of sources say it is close to completion with a fee in the region of £35 mil which isn't awful.  

2. Phillips - said to be the second priority of the season for the city board. Personally think this would be a good deal as Rodri backup but likely to cost £45 mil, cheaper than the alternatives city have been linked with. Just cant really get excited about it for some reason.

Other positions touted: winger and right back.

Would love Reece James as Walker successor but highly unlikely.

Laeo seems to be strongly linked if sterling departs, have heard that it could cost around £100m which is a rip off.

Thoughts on Peps formation for next season?

4-3-3

Ederson 

Walker Stones Dias Cancelo 

Bernardo Rodri KDB 

Mahrez Haaland Foden. 

3-5-2

Ederson 

Walker Dias Laporte 

Cancelo Bernardo Rodri KDB Cucurella

Haaland Alavarez 

With the 3-5-2 you could play Haaland up front with Alvarez or have Haaland and CAM like grealish/foden/kdb in behind him.

Can play wingers or fullbacks in the wide positions dependent on the game
