Transfer rumours

[blues2win]

I’m sure we’ll want to replace Fernandinho. Doubt a LB as well. Club deny they’re responsible for the info. Probably Raiola. Could be legit or warning Madrid put up or shut up.

The leaks are from Dortmund apparently.

Well, if your reading is as good as your spelling, you're fucked either way, you big mongo

In other news, we are signing Pogba.

That would be hilarious.

Felix is playing for the wrong team, he will never make it there.
I would take him for 50 mil. He would be fantastic under Pep.

Raheem and Gabby might well be gone next season, so there would be room.

Oh I do hope you're right mate.

No , I like to listen to the garbage just so I can vent and put him in his place by means of comments etc .

If we all followed your way then we would allow all and sundry to slate us with no fear of retribution - do not confuse doing it on the pitch as sole retribution , battles are also won off the field of war .

Food for thought John !!

That's a lot more bitter than I remember you being John.

I'd say Raheem needs a refresher and I think is too comfortable not being first choice. Gabby is still mostly promise without delivery...ands it's been long enough.

Maybe it's old age Slim mate, or maybe just my reality filter has kicked in.

Or maybe I am watching the best City team play the best football I have ever seen, but am convinced that their efforts and the amount of possession on the pitch is not rewarded by the appropriate number og goals that control deserves.
When we had Kun in his prime I think it papered over some large cracks in our strike department. Failures would be unnoticed or forgiven amid the celebrations of Kun hitting the net time and time again.
What I see now is that City have almost total control in thr defensive and middle thirds of a game but hardly any in the final third. Less so against teams who try to play and leave spaces but very noticeable against well drilled packed defensive teams that we seem to be facing more and more.

Mahrez last night was a prime example, a chance to shoot not taken. That extra touch to turn a decent chance into a goal spurned in order to make the chance more perfect....That never and rarely does ever happen. Time and time again we see the likes of our ballerinas; Mahrez, Jesus and Sterling hols the ball and stop momentum when speed is needed. Time and time again we see thre ball moved upfield from defence through midfield with speed and accuracy of movement and passing only to be held up allowing defences to be set.
How often do Jesus and Sterling run through one on one on a keper, only to take those extra touches that kill off the chance.

Sterling particularly actually halts our attacks and has to pass backwards or simply decides to run into a clutch of defenders and lose it.

The likes of KDB and Foden seem to know when to hold, pass or more importantly shoot.
Keepers make mistakes, defelctions go in our favour like last night...but only when a chance is taken and the defence is tested.
Against a packed well drilled defence, there is no such thing as a perfect chance and I am getting pissed off screaming at Sterling, Jesus and Mahrez to "JUST FUKKIN HIT IT"

FC Barcelona is close to complete the deal of Gabriel Jesus from Manchester City for €30m. [Fichajes.com]

30 mil? Are they taking the piss or another favor?

Euros as well About £25m. I doubt that we’d go that low, but if we did and it was to Barca then someone higher up in the club needs to look at the people in charge of transfers.

Never seem to get top dollar do we, poor imo.
If this is spanish press they might be playing it down - leaving out add ons.

Plus is at least we can move on and recruit

Is that the reverse of “financial doping” or us being financial dopes

He's in the last year or his contract. His market value is around 50m euro, so 30 isn't a bad deal.

[City64]

Jesus is not a 50 million player and he only cost us 25p so 30 - 35 million is about right .

[salford city]

Would make sense as we are bringing in Alverez who looks like an upgrade but Jesus was the next best thing as I recall? Still light up top without Alfie's boy

There are reports circulating that Barcelona will have a negative salary cap next season. In theory, this would mean players would have to pay to play for them. However, in reality, there's a clause in the salary caps that (if I understand it correctly) means teams can spend 25% of any savings they make (this is regardless of the negative sum). If that's right, just to match Jesus's current salary of £90k per week, they'd have to shave £360k per week off the current wage bill.

Of course, as we've learned from Barca's recent transfer dealings, there's nothing to stop them signing him, it's registering him that's the issue...
