Transfer Rumours Transfer Rumours Thread

Nah, he used to be one of the best left backs in the world, but is currently being displaced by a right-footed players. He's well past his best and there is no point in us getting him. Personally I rate Gibbs higher than him (and Shaw), and Monreal is decent back-up for any top side.

 

Hmm, I'd argue that he's still right up there and Azpilcueta (spl?!) is only being used as one of Maureen's patented "move to a club and make a statement by dropping one of the best players" tactics. He seems to do it at every club he goes to and this time Cole took the brunt. Azpilcueta has done well in that role but I still think Cole is the superior player. Anyway, as I said it's a moot point but think someone is going to pick up a very decent player.

 

I agree. Paying £140k per week to a RB is ridiculous, especially to one that's only part-time!

 

It would appear that the rumour is total ballocks.City's wage bill can't increase next season so why pay so much for a back up RB

 

It can't increase and I agree this signing wouldn't make much sense (Zabeletta is better too) but Barry and Lescott are out of contract this summer. Pretty sure a few others will be leaving as well.

 

What about the transfer fees Citeh will pay for players ?

Well they wouldn't have to with Bac so that's sorted right there. Milner (reputedly), Barry, Lescott, Richards (reputedly) and Yaya Toure. That last one is definite, you don't forget Yaya's birthday card

 

They can still spend £49m, hardly strapped for cash is it

TBH, I don't think Man City give a ****. I reckon they spend anyway.

 

They also have to trim their CL squad to 21 and 8 have to be "home grown"

 

Only 4 apparently have to be homegrown in the 21 man squad. Even that's a struggle without Lescott, Barry and Rodwell.

 

would do well at Manure or Spuds then

 

I read it was 8 but I wouldn't argue with you

 

I think it's 8, not 4.

 

Have we re-signed Vela yet?

 

We can for 4 million only, I'd do it, nothing to lose.

 

Even if he flops, we could get double that if we sell him again.

 

Not really, they had nine this season, just just didn't use them.

Hart, Wright, Richards, Clichy, Milner and Sinclair are the others.

 

He was quality at CM at Villa. He would improve the central midfield at Man Utd, Spurs, Everton and maybe Liverpool too.

He's a **** winger.

 

I hope you are right, cause that would be a proper punishment

 

But they can only pick 13 "foreigners"
