- Hours later English media reports we met the asking price for Bonucci and are awaiting an answer

Keeping up?

Exhausted just reading all that.

Don't be straining your eyes like that. You should be looking after them.

I know you can't see, but I am glaring at your post right now...well, glaring in one eye, looking amazed in the other...cause it's stuck that way.

Manchester City are reportedly in advanced talks over a stunning transfer move for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

The Borussia Dortmund forward was one of the top performing attacking players in Europe last season, scoring 39 goals in all competitions.

Rumour Mill: our round-up of football gossip, rumours and speculation

This has since seen him linked with a host of elite European sides, and City are now believed to be working on a deal.

In what would likely be a club-record signing for the Premier League giants, City have hope of luring Aubameyang to the Etihad Stadium as he seemingly wants out of Dortmund, according to the Daily Express.

Manager Pep Guardiola has already brought in Nolito to strengthen his attack this summer, but could be eyeing Aubameyang as an alternative to Leroy Sane, with lengthy negotiations over the Schalke winger appearing to lead nowhere.

Hope its to Real though.
They dont seem to want Morata or James. Those 2 sales would more than cover a Pogba purchase.

Or Kroos, but James to Utd could help them with landing Pogba. Problem is James doesn't want to go there nor leave Madrid, I hear.

We have a better shot at convincing Kroos to come.

The Rags don't want James. They want Pogba....,James is s completely different type. Juve won't turn down £100m so it looks like the Rags will get him, though they have paid a massive price for letting him go in the first place.

Was just thinking the other day about the Aubameyang transfer rumours and how it had all died a death very quickly after the rumour had surfaced. Be more than happy for this to happen rather than Leroy Sane.

PrezIke wrote:The Aubameyang rumour could be in part due to trying to get Shalke to lower the fee for Sanè.

Meanwhile Juve want 120m Euros for Pogba, after Utd's last offer was 110m. Amazing. You could probably buy almost two World Class players for that price.

25m for someone who never turned up for matches south of the Tyne, by all accounts.

Lets hope he at least transfers that disability to the Mersey

I have to agree.

If we don't have a couple of new players until the 5th of august and no one goes, we might have some problems. Look at Mario, saw a picture with the reserves of Scouse.

Balotelli cannot find a team. Imagine that.

Hmm..are some of those players those we absolutely need to get rid of?

Fernando, Delph, Nasri could be staying and useful. Sounds like Pep wants to try and convert Delph into a defender, and Nasri is a very good squad player to have around. Navas would not be a bad squad player either who I could also see converted into a Wing Back type. There are other clubs interested in all of them surely. Wages are an issue for some of them, but it's not as bad as used to be.

Bony could go to Everton as part exchange for Stones. Kolarov will find someone willing to take him, as he does have some skill of use. Mangala as well, and is still young enough. Zuculini...who cares? He will go on loan or be sold. Willy may not be so bad as a backup as we are seeing, and Yaya could be a strictly attacking mid so not so much need to track back (i.e. Kroos, or Silva btw).

We seem to be working more on trying to not have to just get rid of players too far below their value, and have Pep get a good look at them in training and in some of these friendlies.

A good number of those, I'd say about half, will surely be shown the door as options open up after things are decided with Pogba, especially. I think that's the big shoe waiting to drop that will set the market on fire.
