Remember when Sesko was apparently the worst signing of the summer?

The list is a top 20. I love both Mbeumo and Cunha but Mbeumo being number 1 (which I completely agree with btw) and Cunha not being in the list feels kinda unfair.
Marc Guehi’s played for City for less time than a Zirkzee cameo and he somehow gets number 3? Can’t help but feel like Joao Pedro should be higher too.
Good to see Mbeumo & Lammens up there, I think there’s a decent argument for Cunha to be in the lower part of it too, and there’s potential Sesko could work his way in before the season’s over.
Summer 2025 proving a good window so far.

feels kinda unfair having guehi on there. I’d also have cherki and kroupi jr FAR higher, also robin roefs higher than ekitike

joao pedro too low and zubimendi shouldn’t even be on there he’s barely a side grade to the r@pist

Cunha is a better player than Mbeumo in my opinion

Diouf should be on our shortlist for LB if the club wants to develop Dorgu upfront

I like mbeumo and I appreciate the goals he gets but if he’s been the best signing in the entire league this is a shit year for transfers

Mbeumo 1 is controversial in my opinion. Top 5 without a shadow of a doubt but I’m not sure about number 1. Though, come to think of it I couldn’t tell you any better signings off the top of my head.

Anyone got the list?

This list makes no sense.
