Marchisio of Juventus would be a tasty signing IMO. Much cheaper than Pogba with superb energy and ferocious shot

i'm unsettled just thinking about what i'm not getting as i sit here typing this.

Fuck em. I need more. But, if i can't get more, then i'm not unhappy, i just wanted to let everyone know if there is something being doled out that i'm in line for some, cuz, yknow...i deserve it. As you were.

cheers

It's all very well these Italian Clubs being interested but they can't afford the wages. As for loan with option to buy frankly fuck off.



AC Milan are in talks with Zlatan, I bet he is asking for a wedge and a half

He played very well in the Champions League final and I think you could be right on that score NB.

I wonder how much it would take to persuade him to come to City.

Probably significantly less than the reported £50/60m for Pogba. Cant see Juventus letting both though. Maybe if Pogba goes to Barca and thus cant play, he will be loaned back for a season meaning they dont lose three in midfield, if one assumes Pirlo will go.

I for one dont expect more than three new signings and probably only two, so i reckon the powers that be will bide their time to get it right

i agree...i think 3-4 players is the right number. 2 is too few unless it's...i dunno Pogba and De Bruyne maybe? Problem is we need support at FB bigtime and midfield support. And a striker. We could see 4 or 5 if we ship out 3 more. Those numbers would still work, right? I keep losing track of squad numbers and the like. It's too complex for someone with a (pretend) life. Ahem.

Seen part of Mail story. Khaldoun's talking very bullishly about strengthening the squad for next season.

Very much we're looking to win the CL and will strengthen accordingly. I don't think any transfer names are mentioned.

Khaldoon still has Cook's napkin list in his top pocket for safe keeping. Its a bit unclear who we'll sign now though as he had a touch of hay fever and blew his nose on it

I honestly think that alone could give us the lift and the push needed to win the league next season. So unlikely to happen though, as I expect he possibly still harbours a grudge against some of the brass at the club.

Highest paid player in MLS. Creating a huge market in Orlando for the team and their Brasilian owner. Doing basically the Beckham gig. He looks like a chunky turd on the pitch most times tho and yet is still head and shoulders above 90% of what he's playing against.
