If the papers are to be believed, which is debatable, Silva (and Zlat) are not being sold to City and will stay at AC Milan

Haven't seen this posted on here... Personally im very suspicious about the numbers/trades they're mentioning.

Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini held talks in Milan on Monday over a deal for £40 million-rated defender Thiago Silva which could see Carlos Tevez moving to the San Siro.

Mancini met Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani at the Italian club’s headquarters and made an enquiry for Thiago Silva, despite insisting that he was simply catching up with old friends.

Contrary to reports in Italy, the City boss is understood to have suggested Tevez - rather than Mario Balotelli - as a potential makeweight in a swoop for the highly rated Brazilian centre-back.

Milan have also shown an interest in signing Emmanuel Adebayor but are believed to have told Mancini they want a straight cash deal for Thiago Silva, who they value at £40m. Galliani reportedly added that the Rossoneri have already rejected a £32m bid from Spanish giants Barcelona.

Mancini has been linked with a move for Milan striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic but Thiago Silva is the player he wants to lure to the Etihad Stadium. The 27-year-old is considered one of the best defenders in the world and is considered by Mancini as an ideal partner for City captain Vincent Kompany.

City’s chances of landing the player are helped by Milan’s need to raise funds and they could be ready to cash in on their most valuable asset. The Italian team’s coach, Massimiliano Allegri, wanted to make the 27-year-old his new captain but that scenario has been changed by his potential departure.

While City will consider a straight cash deal, they would prefer to offer a striker in part-exchange to land the former Fluminese man.

Tevez would be the obvious candidate having been a target for Milan in the January transfer window before the move collapsed.

The 28-year-old, who earns a basic salary of £198,000 per week and would be valued at around £25 million, recently said that he wants to stay at City after being brought back into the fold towards the end of the season following a six-month exile.

Mancini had previously indicated that Tevez was “finished” at City and is ready to offload on the striker as he looks to build a squad capable of retaining the Premier League title and challenging for Champions League glory next season.

Plenty of games to go around

yes but being an integral part to our success this year were not going to spunk 50m or watever on a cb to rotate to often

Imo you saw the potential problem we have with Lescott when he got outpaced by that shit QPR geezer on Sunday & Vinny when he got skinned by their fullback. Both are great defenders but not very quick. Thiago Silva would give the option of a bit more pace & better on the ball. Against teams like Napoli who parked the bus and hit us on the break with pace, we were lucky not to concede more goals.

The way Bob coaches the whole squad to be interchangeable, I think we should be able to rotate 3 CB's if all are quality.

Having said that, the only way I see us getting Silva is if we swap Tevez. The money they are rumoured to be asking is ridiculous.

Defenetly this, hes playing CB and much faster

Will be done come tomorrow night. Strike this one off.

If the 50(!!!!!) million euro price, 9 million euro wage figures quoted are correct i'd say we are right to duck out and let PSG take him.

There are younger, equal quality CB's out there for less money.
