RVP and other Transfer Business

[Vantage]

We've been so discrete over the summer snide journos are scraping the barrel for material to slag us off, give it another week and they'll be blaming us for the civil war in Syria....

That said don't want RVP he's Santa Crocked MK II

[Beefymcfc]

Since Van Pussywipe went public every media outlet has clambered for a story but as yet, they've still not got a clue. They keep rehashing the same old shite to fill the back pages, using the tried and trusted adversarial links to sell their wares.

If, and that is a big IF, we had put in a bid then I'd be pretty certain it would be the biggest out there with the best package to boot. If PussFace refused that because he didn't fancy us then I'd suggest we wouldn't even consider another bid.

Personally, I believe we haven't even tried to sign him. I think that his agent has been putting the feelers out, some time ago may I add, but Mancini is not into crocked players (RSC, Bridge, Bellers) and even though he may score goals, the risk would be too great.

Add the fact that we have 4, what I'd call, 1st team strikers who are on huge salaries, I'd suggest that none of them will be finding new homes in order to accommodate the Pussed one.

From what I've read of Mancini's quotes, he has shown the player and the club nothing but respect, and that's as far as it goes.

Oh, and I still can't stand the fucker!

If City fail to sign anyone this summer, I would like them to send a press release every week for the entire season, stating they never approached anyone, they never picked up a phone or sent an email to any club or player, then list the newspapers, the stories and dates of everyone who reported that we did.

I think we 'signed' him 6 months ago, but are trying to ship players out before we put the bid in to Arsenal & currently nobody is offering anywhere near market value for anyone. So we have a decision to make.

In all probability, it could be but I find it quite difficult to fathom why Mancini specifically stated that he wanted to keep all our forward players (Ade/RSC not included). Yes, he could be doing it for market value but if, as suggested by many, he is at loggerheads with the powers that be then surely he wouldn't bother.

Personally I think it's a heap of shit myself and if it comes down to it then we go ahead with what we've got plus a few up and comings filling the void.

I still think there'll be at least one though, who can take us forward now rather than later.

PS. I think your 'Signed 6 months ago' statement is wrong.

Just my opinion mate.

[AG7]

Yup, nobody signs no one six months ago ...

[Slim]

There are usually deal in principle deals set up, but 6 months does seem a long time. I'd probably say the season ended before any such deal was brokered.

[AG7]

So Mancini has apparently cleared it up ... he told Sky Italia today that Dzeko is going nowhere and he doesn't think Van Persie deal will go through either.

[Ted Hughes]

There are usually deal in principle deals set up, but 6 months does seem a long time. I'd probably say the season ended before any such deal was brokered.

The reason I put 'signed' as opposed to signed, is I believe we have already agreed a deal with RVP subject to Arsenal & any other factors. I don't mean on paper, just that imo the rumours of this were going on for so long that it's pretty likely the sources were correct & they said months ago he had agreed.

Mancini is probably giving Arsenal a bit of an ultimatum to either do the deal or we walk.

almost opposite I continue to think that - once the first target of the season has been bottled (as it had been the last season's one) Mancini is only desperate to be delivered the second main target (Daniele Derossi or Javi Martinez) to provide effective back-ups for the 2 only roles where City is exposed to injuries and ACoN (CB and Yaya).
we are or should all aware that there is where a spell of bad lack might make the difference from a very successfull season and a trophyless one.

With respect my Italian friend, bollocks (or whatever that is in Italian).

Patric Vieira:

Vieira, who holds the position of football development executive at Premier League champions City, said Van Persie's contractual situation has caught the attention of Europe's biggest clubs.

"When there's a player like Van Persie, with only one year of contract, all the big clubs try to buy him," the Frenchman said.

"Juventus, Manchester United and even City because (City manager Roberto) Mancini likes him so much.

"Currently, though, Van Persie is an Arsenal player."

Meanwhile, Mancini has cooled rumors that have linked City players Edin Dzeko, Carlos Tevez and Aleksandar Kolarov to the Serie A.

"I don't know if Italian teams could buy Dzeko, Tevez or Kolarov. It depends of what our club want to do," he said.

"What I know is these three players are pivotal for us, they are happy here and we don't want them to go. Manchester City are playing to win all the trophies and need a strong team.


So 1) We do want RVP, 2) None of you know what Patric Vieira does & whether he is part of the team who conduct tranfers, just as you don't know what Marwood does & 3) Mancini is clearly talking about 'the club' & what 'it' wants to do, which even the most pedantic of you will realise is way above Marwood. He is not 'the club' as Mancini refers to it. Sheikh Mansour & Khaldoon are 'the club' & Marwood is their errand boy, who does what he is told, which includes being a middle man to take the shit for anything Mancini or the fans don't like.

He then refers to 'we' clearly meaning the football people. So it's upto whether the business side wants to sell & he is hoping they don't, as the football side wants to keep all of them. In other words, if we sign RVP, Khaldoon may order us to sell some players, in which case, the evil Marwood will be the one who forces Dzeko out of the club against Mancini's wishes.

Imo, if Khaldoon decides he wants to sign RVP, he'll pay the over inflated price & the player will be here next week because Marwood, & probably Vieira have already done all the persuading last season. Then he may order Marwood & Co to sell Dzeko, Tevez or Kolarov. Or, if Bob has his way,we keep the lot, which would be interesting.

[edge275]

I think we should flog Dzeko (both beat him and then sell him because he's shite) and get Falcao in.

[feedthegreek]

acc to manchester evening news city have upped their offer for agger to 18 mill, and hope to get de rossi for 15 mill, also 1 tweet from man city news saying mancini does,nt think edin will leave, next tweet same source saying edin maybe leaving to ac milan, hes quoted as saying ive always folowed serie a, well have to wait and see.

[lets all have a disco]

So Mancini has apparently cleared it up ... he told Sky Italia today that Dzeko is going nowhere and he doesn't think Van Persie deal will go through either.

Thats a shame i was hoping the Gonzalo rumours were true.

[PeterParker]

With Adebayor and RSC still here, we won't get many players, maybe just one and that will be a defender (Agger).

It all depends of those two. Hughes fucked us big time with those two and of course Bridge, so we won't see a striker, a winger or a midfielder.

I would love de Rossi with Yaya or Gazbaz in the middle, but that won't be the case this summer.

I understand the FFP rule, but i also understand that we need players to compete in the League, The Chumps, FA and League Cup and i don't know about you, but i really want us to win the League Cup this year. Last season we managed to win the league, but we weren't as good in the other competitions and this is what we need to change.

As for RVP, he can fuck off. No one wants him here.

[BobbyJ1956]

I've never liked RVP and don't see this nasty piece of work as a City player, but what does he have against coming to MCFC? Is it the other ex-Arsenal players City have signed who he dislikes, does he have some history with DeJong from being in the Dutch team together, or is he one of the few that still think City's success is only a flash in the pan?

He might be thinking 'He wants to do it the right way' while hanging every club in for him over a barrel for 200 grand a week!

He had a row with Gallas and Kolo a while back and after that Wenger stripped Toure from his captain armband.

[Chinners]

He hates Adebayor apparently .... well thats been his excuse recently anyway. He'll look a right twat if he joins us thou, and I can see Arsenal/Manu fans dragging up his derisory comments about us from 2 seasons ago.

I wouldn't worry mate, we're thicker skinned than that, especially when he does a Rooney.
