🚨 Exclusive: Hull City have held talks with Nottingham Forest over a loan move for winger Dilane Bakwa.

Forest paid £30m to sign Bakwa from Strasbourg last summer but his minutes have been limited.

Hull also showing interest in Reims' Japanese international Keito Nakamura, as called by @NizaarKinsella.

A move for Aston Villa's Leon Bailey not progressing as it stands.🐯

Four years ago today, @ErlingHaaland missed an OPEN GOAL from just six yards in the Community Shield... 👀

And went on to finish the 2022/23 season with 52 goals and 9 assists in 53 appearances, winning the Premier League, FA Cup, and UEFA Champions League. 👋🏆🏆🏆😂

@FPLMeerkat Think Savinho will start over Reijnders or Bernardo

[JJD @mcfcjjd]

@r1medi The Blackburn Busquets

@StevenMcinerney True feel like it will come post pep when he gets to play as a free roam 10 instead of a 10 who has to always be in the left or right pocket

[JJD @mcfcjjd]

@FodenPrime Chill they were obviously doing the thing where they aim for the posts and crossbar

[JJD @mcfcjjd]

@SheikhMCI He’s a player who plays on confidence. We saw it even last season that when he scores a goal he suddenly starts playing with more confidence cos he thinks he has “credit in the bank”. The euros clearly shattered his confidence and I also think he’s too driven by g/a.

[JJD @mcfcjjd]

@shaxxszn @StevenMcinerney Yh I totally get it but haaland and gundogan are the only likely scorers on that pitch. I guess Pep just doesn’t want the game to be messy from the off

[JJD @mcfcjjd]

@MaineRoad84569 @Managing_City @PhilFoden @England Exactly I completely agree which adds to the suggestion Foden won’t be told he’s playing as the left 10 in possesion because if that was the case it would make more sense to invert Bellingham. Will be interesting to see if foden plays more as a 10 when shaw is back overlapping.

[JJD @mcfcjjd]

@PAFCTom10 Would love Valles as a back up keeper if one of ours leaves

[JJD @mcfcjjd]

@StatmanDave That is ridiculous how good that is

[JJD @mcfcjjd]

@umirf1 He’s never respected him as an important player as he came through the academy. If we bought him in for money he would feel obliged to respect him. He’s using Foden’s love for the club against him and using him more as a “utility” player than a star player

[JJD @mcfcjjd]

@City_Xtra Our two best midfielders are on the wing👍

[JJD @mcfcjjd]

@Managing_City He plays well when he is anywhere on a football pitch but he is best in between the lines on the half turn in a central position. If he is playing left wing hopefully we play a full back able to overlap (gvardiol) as we don’t want his boots glued to the touchline

[JJD @mcfcjjd]

@Managing_City Midfield?

[JJD @mcfcjjd]

@City_Xtra @TelegraphDucker The word “saka” has never left Messi’s mouth

[JJD @mcfcjjd]

@Trujista Fairs decent coping mechanism
