Transfer rumours

[Scatman]

Being linked with de Jong from Barca again this morning. Brilliant player, great on the ball, good passing and likes a tackle.

Not sure what would happen with Rodri though (who I think has been playing well this season - he’s finished his degree now so possibly less stress?). Gundo isn’t getting younger so Rodri pushed up higher might be a better fit.

Straight swap for Sterling would be perfect.

Last line Mase, could be the story....

I can’t see how Barca will afford Sterling. So a swap has to be considered. Unless the Barca Boys at City are happy with Barca paying £50m over 20 years….which could also happen!

Paying in Sterling......

It's value has plummeted in the last couple of years.

We'd better be quick selling. Reputations tend to hang in there (look how many times we've been sold a pup) and he has kept his value - until lately everyone is starting to realise that we are queuing up to drive him to the airport!

Problem I guess is relocating private cinemas, walls of fishtanks etc to Catalonia!

Dortmund out Haaland in???

[Mase]

More rumours linking us with Dusan Vlahovic this morning. He’s got 12 goals in 15 matches this season.

Just watched his highlights on YouTube Samaras style, he’s actually got better feet than I thought when I saw him play previously. Very similar player to Haaland and probably half the price in wages, bung to agent, signing on fee etc.

Edit: Also, Serbian.

And not a tattoo in sight

Not as lush, but it'll do.

Young Edin?
Sign him up.

[Dameerto]

Big Willy (Caballero) just got a gig at Southampton 'til January, due to their keeper crisis. Should buy him a few pressies at least.

Rumors today are that the Spafia are ready to accept 38 million instead of 60 million for The transfer of FT to Barcelona .

Another favor .

A guy at Barca the other day said, “we have friends at City”….

Most reports say we’re close to agreeing a fee. Crazy how when Bern and Laporte wanted to go in the summer we dug our heels in. Barca come knocking and we bend over backwards to help them out

It certainly looks that way but playing devil's advocate here it may be a longer term play by us.
Barca are extremely powerful, don't kick them when they are down and if they remember the help they could prove to be an extremely useful ally in the future. We need that help, think those penalty decisions last night.

No offence but that's a load of tosh. I doubt they'd come to our rescue if we were in similar situation. Fek them, pay up the asking price or do one

I don’t think La Liga would let them help us in any situation, however I don’t think that our owners would let us get in to the turmoil Barca are in.

It does make me wonder what the Spafia’s plans are after City and when Pep decides to leave. Will they head back to Barca? I’m sure they’d be welcomed back, and if so what is there to stop them helping Barca out now?

Also, wasn't Mansour involved with Real in a way? Why help Barcelona?

[RodneyRodney]

I would expect Mansour to have the final say about all transfer transactions, ins and outs , and I think he's got the business acumen to pull the plug on anything which doesn't appear to be in the clubs interest. If he smells something, he'll say no.

Mino Raiola: “He can and will take the next step. Bayern, Real, Barcelona, City - these are the big clubs he can go to. City have won the championship five times in the last few years, much more than United.”

I’m beginning to like this guy
