How we at TPG think #ManCity will lineup next season

How TPG think United could and should line-up for next season under Ruben Amorim's system. Marcin Bulka linked to be the potential Onana replacement. #MUFC #RubenAmorim #United #RedDevils #Bulka #Mbuemo #Gyokeres #Cunha

Nottingham Forest's recruitment since promotion has been fantastic, and they continue to do so again with the Botafogo deal. 3 amazing Brazilians for the price of roughly 35m, this will continue to send the team's chemistry into the stratosphere, top work from Edu 👏 #NFFC

[ThePressingGame @gamepressingthe]

Superbe recrutement marseillais. CJ Egan-Riley a un potentiel incroyable. Cependant, la décision d'Angel Gomes de rester en Ligue 1 peut être remise en question, notamment en raison de ses liens avec la Premier League, très attendus. Excellent travail! #TeamOM #MercatOM #OM

[ThePressingGame @gamepressingthe]

Thought Brentford were trying to get away from relegation, not run towards it! Mbuemo, Wissa and Frank poised to leave. Yes, they are a small club but if they have ambition for Conference league they need to make more bold decisions! #BrentfordFC

[Fabrizio Romano @FabrizioRomano]

🚨🔴⚪️ EXCLUSIVE: Brentford add Scott Parker to three-men shortlist of candidates being considered to replace Thomas Frank.

Burnley coach happy at the club while Brentford are also exploring this possibility.

Frank will leave and become new Tottenham manager.

[ThePressingGame @gamepressingthe]

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

[Fabrizio Romano @FabrizioRomano]

🚨🔵⚪️ Angel Gomes has completed his medical as new Olympique Marseille player with contracts being signed.

OM are also advancing on deal to sign CJ Egan-Riley from Burnley on contract until June 2029, as @Santi_J_FM reports. ⏳

[ThePressingGame @gamepressingthe]

This transfer makes sense in every way. Madrid need centre-backs, and this is one for the next 10 years. He was the only young cb on the market and we see this as a brilliant deal. Madrid aren't messing around. #Madridistas #RMFC #huijsen

[ThePressingGame @gamepressingthe]

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’s four summer signings so far 💫

[ThePressingGame @gamepressingthe]

This looks like a huge rebuild summer pending for Pep and his #Citizens #ManCity #ACmilan

[ThePressingGame @gamepressingthe]

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

[Manchester City @ManCity]

Tijjani Reijnders completes his move to Manchester City! 🙌

[ThePressingGame @gamepressingthe]

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

[Fabrizio Romano @FabrizioRomano]

🚨🔵 Official, confirmed. Rayan Cherki joins Manchester City from OL for €36m plus €6m, five year contract.

Agreement done until June 2030.

[ThePressingGame @gamepressingthe]

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

[Fabrizio Romano @FabrizioRomano]

🚨 Arsenal agree deal to sign Martin Zubimendi from Real Sociedad, here we go! ❤️🤍

Zubimendi has now verbally agreed to sign a long term deal… so formal steps must follow soon with Arsenal to trigger €60m clause.

Zubi, ready to become the first signing of the new season.

[ThePressingGame @gamepressingthe]

£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

Brilliant Senegalese performance 🇸🇳#ENGSEN #ThreeLions #Senegal #Tuchel

[ThePressingGame @gamepressingthe]

England ratings for that abysmal performance at the city ground!
Henderson (Dean) 6
Walker 4
Skelly 4
Chalobah 5
Colwill 5
Saka 6
Gallagher 7
Rice 6
Gordon 6
Kane 7
Eze 6.5

Tuchel 3/10. Much improved performance required.

[ThePressingGame @gamepressingthe]

150m seems like too much. I trust Liverpool because they don't make many mistakes, if any, with this current backroom, but there's a lot of room for error. If Liverpool thinks he will be good, there will definitely be a reason behind it #Liverpool

[Fabrizio Romano @FabrizioRomano]

🚨🚨💣 EXCLUSIVE: Florian Wirtz to Liverpool, HERE WE GO!

Liverpool verbally agree deal in principle with Bayer Leverkusen for package reaching €150m add-ons included.

Player side already agreed two weeks ago with move now imminent.

Wirtz set for medical and contract signing.

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.
