    he has pace and can control the ball at high speeds something i thought we were lacking against Blackburn when their left back didn't have any speed at all

    You mean he's quicker than Whitts?

    this guy would walk straight into our team, i think he is a class player and could be an important link between midfield and attack!

    Are you sure ???

    Great talent but seems to be making the least of it at the moment, would be a brilliant signing and a fantastic addition IF Ole can get the best out of him.

    Clearly a talented footballer but behavioural and attitude problems. He is an accident that has already happened.

    Do we really want that?

    Isn't he out on bail at present and could go down for his alleged offences? Unless I've missed something. Are we going to risk £3m on that?

    I can't see Vince Tan sanctioning it with that sort of history hanging over his head even if he is one of Ole's former Man U charges. Whatever else he is, Tan is a very correct and family orientated person who wouldn't want to be involved with player like that.

    Maybe wide of the mark here , but do I remember something similar about Tan scuppering a move of ours for David Goodwillie because of criminal charges?

    Don't want him anywhere near the place. I realise that he's 'innocent until proven guilty' but I have a horrible feeling that he's a bad apple. Nobody's perfect, but until he's proven his innocence, I think we should be looking elsewhere.

    I'm all for giving folk a second chance and I think he would be a good addition to the squad.. If Ole can reign in his off field activities then so much the better.

    A 3m bid represents a damaged goods price. He's worth more than Mutch based solely on talent IMO.

    Could be a great signing or we could be getting a total disaster zone of a person. Talent wise he's better than anything we've got and should be a PL regular. I'd like to see him in our side but I do have a bad feeling about this too.

    Rather see City target a winger for £3m. City desperately needed a quick wide outlet at Blackburn. What was ALF doing there? Shades of Campbell being asked to play wide last season.

    IMO Connolly showed how underrated a player he is; it's Cala who concerns me.

    Finally Gunnarrsson and Whittingham's places (the former in particular) look questionable.

    For the wing berth, we were looking at Anya at Watford. If available he would be a good buy but as they have managed to keep Deeney for now and Vydra has gone back there I can't see it happening. With that strike force Watford could be dark horses this season.

    Taff!
    Have a read of this from his early days

    http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/fo...ed-victim-knifepoint-mugging-spared-jail.html

    If Fergy couldn't reign him in, what chance has Ole got.
    Sign him and City will get burnt. He's a wannabe gangster.

    BBC says we are willing to double his wages to get him here.

    Ole has said we have not made an offer for him. Doesn't say he's not interested though. <doh>
