Transfer rumours

[Mase]

Rico signed until 2028 great news.

Think he'll be an important part of our midfield in the years ahead.

Great news. Be interesting to see where Rico ends up playing - position wise

The Lahm/Zanetti role most likely

[blues2win]

I didn’t mean at City. I meant number one at a Club, preferably a Premiership club. In any other position you can offer young players some game time depending on performances. Goalkeeper is different. They don’t get injured that often and managers want them to play every match excluding domestic Cups. Trafford was ambitious and was inevitably going to attract interest. I wouldn’t blame the Club for his leaving.

[Outcast]

Trafford wanted to be number one. It’s natural. It’s the peril of having a reserve goalkeeper who’s too good’. If Neuer comes back from his skiing accident he’ll reclaim the jersey at Bayern for a couple more years. If he doesn’t than Alvarez would have a great opportunity he’d never get at City.

It’s an important part of Pep and Tixi’s role that they are able to convince these kids that their future lies at City and if they work hard enough they’ll be given the opportunities.

I’ve not seen any quotes from Trafford to state he wanted to be number 1 though mate, where’s that from?

Probably in a memo to Tixi as supposed to Dail Fail?

Rico as a small boy. Nice photo.

Now for Bernardo and Walker extensions please. Plus Paqueta as well of course.

Barcelona scraping round the bottom of the bowl to try and fund Cancelo loan:

Looking forward to more good news this week with Bernie & Kyle extensions. Cancelo looks on the brink of a welcome exit at last but Laporte may have to stay along (very sadly IMO) with Phillips & Gomez. It's a longshot that either will feature in the expected Paqueta deal with West Ham although it seems Palmer could well end up there. Doku's signing looks very likely too, could be a real asset for us. Ortega to the odious Krauts will almost certainly leave us weaker, almost any replacement would be a downgrade - hope the club put our interests ahead of his. If we are fortunate enough to move Phillips on we could do worse than bid for Wolves Mateus Nunes again, played great last night and would be a proper backup for Rodri.

French report that Palace and Chelsea have reached an agreement in principle to the transfer of Olise. We never seemed to pursue him. Maybe because of our interest in Doku.

Id much rather him or Neto over Doku. Doku raw as fuck and just dont see him frustrating pep.

Pep pretty firm on Ortega.

[dick dastardley]

Can someone tell how the fuck have arse/chavski have got away with spending so much, but we're being investigated about FFP?
It baffles me!!

Didn't he have trouble settling in Manchester when he was with us as a teenager?
Maybe the club have noted that.

Chelsea have dished out 8 year contracts , that's how they have circumnavigated FFP , plus they made plenty in sales as well - big gamble on their part.

PSG accept bid from Saudi for Neymar.

Out of the farmers league into the camel league

Only place left to go for him!

Officially gone for £77.6M

If you want to understand more on it. Head to twitter and follow @slbsn on twitter. He is a City fan (Stefan) and is a financial expert and has even provided consultancy to City in the past

He was on talksport this morning challenging Simon Jordan's views on it.

[nottsblue]

Rags apparently paying Maguire £6m to leave

So they effectively get £24M for him. Snigger

They’ve made a massive loss on him. Will the media mention it?

Luckily someone at West Ham saw sense and didn’t offer Maguire the money he wanted so the deal is off

Excellent news

Must be a possibility

Lavia to Chelsea all but done now.

It’s quite a curious case. Usually Pep was spot on about every youngster that left us. I am gutted a bit, glad Klopp didn’t get him, but based on the history so far, Pepito gets the benefit of the doubt.

Elise to follow soon by all accounts - Chavs spending nearly a £1billion in the last 12 months - they are happy to pay a fine for breaching the PL financial rules it seems
