Wasn't he reported as saying if City came for him he'd get on his knees and suck Pep off?

Unless Maureen offered him 500 grand then he'd suck his agent off.

Not sure I quite get this form of Manc humour here mate :) , but one thing to note about Sam Lee to the critics I've read here that say he gets nothing right was that he broke the news about Nico and Fernandinho's new contracts in December.

If you throw 100 darts at the board. 1 or 2 might hit the bullseye.

Hah. I think he's well connected and the club respects him as a source since he is not anti-the club by any means compared to most of the UK media, or even Men despite who we know he supports. He very much admires Pep and City as a football fan and says he wishes his club would be like us.

What are the ones he's gotten wrong?

Alves and Sanchez? LaPorte?

Those were ALL as "done deal" as it gets other than wildcard agents, players getting cold feet, and factors that even City didn't expect. He never something "will happen" and is He quite careful and reluctant about how he puts things.

98% of the time his inside info has been reported elsewhere. he is the social media cut and paste merchant of me on here with the Daily Bollox, not insightful but merely reporting on what others have said, the difference being I know I'm reporting others bollox and not claiming it as my own

He looks a quality player and young too. Here he was in the 2nd half vs us this year; like a copy of Fern but only 24

Indeed. I was also wondering how he will be replacing Delph, as the stories go. Does he do left back?

Apparently he started at Atletico Mineiro as a left back.
