This is the problem Villa, Us and other recent takeovers are going to find. There is now so many rich owners in the PL that buying a title is going to become almost impossible unless you have the infrastructure because many owners are just going to shrug and say 'So? Do I look like I need your money?' When telephone numbers are bring chucked around. When Chelsea and Man City did it they were one of the first so their cash brought easier returns. Since then the rules have been changed AND so many clubs are awash with cash that football has hit a point where cash alone is getting diminishing returns.
Syd will say something like all our medicals have to be held in Hull When everybody disagrees with him Syd will act hurt and say everybody is trying to cause an argument for no reason.
Daily star reckons we're close to signing Hendrick and Rodriguez, Guardian reporting Keane and Hendrick and Mirror claim we are battling Villa and Derby for Kodija
If we lose Hernandez our forward line up starts to look completely hopeless and 'Championship' standard. Hernandez could potentially be the 10 plus goals PL striker we need.
Don't you just love City! We do **** all for months then we try and fit in a years worth of transfers and a take over in three days. Getting linked to almost everyone who's ever kicked a ball. Absolute madness!
(1) Who chose all of these particular targets? MP, a "mere" caretaker manager - that would seem like very poor business acumen by the current and soon-to-be new owners (2) Who is/are the financial whizzkid(s) undertaking these negotiations? Ehab would have no rhyme or reason to get energized over any of this if he is now yesterday's man.
There's not many on that list that you think 'Wow'. Hendrick and Mason would be OK and Marshall - but up front the names mentioned are all really risky. Goals are the business end of the pitch, again we're shopping in poundland.
Bottom line is we won't have anyone in place to replace him. Perhaps the lad from Bristol City. But I'd rather keep Hernandez than sell and buy that lad with the money.
I have an irrational dislike of Wilshere. Not sure why, he's always injured - personal opinion but I think he's ****. No, I wouldn't want him at City.
