@Rory_Talks_Ball I'm afraid we will look back on this deal as an overpay. £75m for a 28 y/o isn't good and even though he's older than norgaard he's still not actually young. In 5 years he will be 33 and way past prime, personally dont like the deal.
very happy with my work on this article, feel as though it is a great insight into city's transfer window so far and my opinions on each of the deals so far, most notably including rayan cherki and tijjani reijnders #Cherki#ManCity#PremierLeague#citizens#reijnders

xabi alonso this, xabi alonso that, clearly hasn't done enough to keep rodrygo, the man who bellingham claimed to be more talented than the rest of the team including vini and mbappe. Give him to Arsenal and let him play #AFC#arsenal#Rodrygo#fabrizio
Good deal for Marseille. However, from an England perspective its disappointing not to see Angel Gomes leave the Ligue 1. He needs to be making bigger moves at this stage in career (at 24), it wasn't long ago when spurs and united were looking at him. #MercatOM#England
seen lots of #AFC fans complaining about not making moves as quickly as city. Remember why we still trust Arteta, and the board do too. Those who aren't supporting him need to have long look at themselves and figure out why. #arsenal#Arteta#ArtetaOut
All these deals make sense for #ManCity, but it will be interesting to see the roles of each. We wonder if Cherki will start running and if Reijnders will take that next step, whilst Pep has been wanting a traditional left back for a long time. #citizens#PremierLeague#Transfers
Man City
Tijjani #Reijnders has completed his move to city for a reported fee of around 62.5m.
City seem serious this summer and willing to splash the cash.
In my opinion I love this transfer for City and screams a way to replicate Gundogan from a few years ago.
#Mancity
£60m already!!! This and the Cunha already seem like United isn't learning from their past mistakes, and are continuing to overspend on players that are not worth the risk. For sure this deal would make United better, but as always, price changes everything #MUFC#PremierLeague
Lots of #AFC fans saying this signing is one Arsenal do not need and that he is overpriced, but ultimately, with Jorginho leaving the club and Thomas Partey not re-signing it's a position that needs filling. With the scarcity of the DM market, this makes sense to me. #Zubimendi
City taking a punt on Cherki was NOT something we saw coming this window, not only due to the fact that Wirtz is available, but also because he is the least effective presser in Europe. Will be interesting to see his role under Pep. #ManCity#cherki
As of now, you can find some of my thoughts and potential insights on the footballing world across this summer and heading into next season on @gamepressingthe - I've learnt from some of the best in this sport, but I'm still learning so don't give too much slack #Football#AFC

We saw this with this past 2 games, as Tuchel played Curtis Jones at right back against Andorra (inverted with Lewis-Skelly) and alongside the fact that we saw him play with a 3 back in his first camp. He needs time, but he manages England.
My thoughts on England football at the moment:
Everyone must remember that Tuchel is NEW. This was only his 4th game in charge, and his second England camp. Many players will come and go in the next year, and Tuchel doesn't yet know what he wants to do with the team.
Why can't the price be higher? Because how successful every transfer is depends on PRICE. Cunha to United? If it was half United are paying, I'd say yes. But it's £62.5m! Same goes for Mbuemo. Under £50m and it's a great deal.
My dream summer window for #arsenal
Rodrygo - £75m
Zubimendi - £60m
Gyokeres/Sesko - £60m (don't care which so long as price is the same)
Back up centre half - £25m (needs to be under the age of 22 and with room to develop)
Total - £220m
Price can't be higher for each.
