***Transfer Rumours Thread*** [ALL RUMOUR TOPICS MERGED]

Yaya and Barry would be a brilliant midfield pairing imo - enforcers

I don't think it has as much bite as a De Jong/Zabaleta pairing, but both of them are fairly balanced players who can drive from deep and Yaya is not a complete muppet when it comes to passing range as well.

it's nice versatility to offer as well. by the end of summer we're going to have the best "assembled" team in the Prem i think. Crazy talk. i believe it.

cheers

If Yaya is coming, then surely we will still need a creative midfielder, won't we, or do we just play the same old back 6?

I'd say yes. I was hoping we'd have made an offer for Hamsik by now.

Mancini came out and said he wouldn't be interested in Hamsik, so guessing not.

I'm not sure about Yaya, but I'm pretty sure we're in for a far more creative player who can turrn the play from defence into attack. Milner for me is a right sided Barry, Yaya is a more passing de Jong, and none of them make up for what we are missing.

[CityGer]

I'd love to see us buy an out and out play maker in the Hamsik, Gourcuff mould but fitting a player of this nature in to the same side as Tevez and a target man is a challenge for Bobby.

[Bojinov's left foot]

Any ideas why Boatang has gone public to say he is signing for us before the World Cup? The Club have said nothing, so far.

[Nijinsky]

Apologies if this is old news.. lots of talk about Yaya.

According to this a deal is in place http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11833_6189984,00.html

Good signing if it's us and I can't see it being anyone else.

[Exiled]

As far as I know, Yaya Toure is much more than a defensive midfielder. I think that was more the position required of him whilst at Barca but he showed far more versatility at Monaco.

[Dameerto]

There's a strong chance it could be Arsenal - the conspiracy theorist in me thinks Fabregas has pretty much been sold, with all the talk from them at the moment being a smokescreen to give him a relatively peaceful World Cup

[Dingus McDouchey]

could possibly be Arsenal as part of the Cesc deal.
still think it's us though.

[avoidconfusion]

Could be Chelsea, could be Arsenal, could be us...

The question is... assuming the price quoted is correct... would Chelsea really spend that much money on a player?
And if it was Arsenal , why mention that 36m Euros?

I don't want to say it out loud but I actually think we are the most likely destination.

Well Maicon says he ain't coming to City and wants to go to Madrid.

Figures really, if Mourinho comes calling he is bound to go to RM.

Never mind......we only like one type of Brazilian anyway!

[Mark (Blue Army)]

i really hope it's us, when do you think we will hear that he's signed, before the weekend or early next week?

Thing is RM havn't even made a move for him. He will look like a right cunt now if they never do wont he?

[avoidconfusion]

I wish we would sign Lahm or that he even was a remote possibility... scored a beauty against Bosnia today.

[Vhero]

Hmm if it is us I still wonder why since we got 3 players that play that position already. We need a more attack minded player really but whatever I'm sure the manager knows what's best for the club if it is us. I just hope we get at least 1 attacking player in this window.

Nice goal...that was one of them there new fangled balls wasn't it.....swerved all over the place including upwards it seemed!

[avoidconfusion]

Looks straight like an arrow to me to be honest but yes it is the new ball.
