Barcelona To Sign Kompany For £20m?

[Socrates]

The same people that own the mirror own the MuEN, which explains a lot. As for Kompany going (and for £20 million), it's enough to make the cat laugh.

Really?????? That explains an awful lot mate. Very interesting

Only since three years ago, people have been whinging about them since long before that...

Yet some on here still believe there is no media agenda despite the continual stream of nonsense typed in the newspapers in an attempt to destabilise us. If it's not a 'Mancini being sacked in the summer' story (the latest one I read has us linked with the Valencia manager - ffs!) it's a story about a dressing room rift or possible departure of one of our players. Barca are in need of a central defender and we have one of the best in the world as out captain and so some lazy journalist decides to link the 2 together. Complete bullshit. I believe Vinny is settled and very happy in Manchester and even if he was to go we would ask for at least double the figure quoted in the story

[AG7]

Let's switch the question on its back ... hypothetically ... again, HYPOTHETICALLY ... If Barca or RM or Bayern were to come in asking for him and he too agreed to go that way, what price tag would the club take? £20m as the shit paper says? Or £40m, £50m, £80m??

[freshie]

Is this the same rag that decided to go with this headline:

Dead man walking: Roberto Mancini will be sacked in the summer, claims Manchester City legend
9 Mar 2013 22:30

Rodney Marsh reckons the disciplinarian Italian will go even if the Blues manage to lift the FA Cup after a disappointing season

or,

Rich pickings: Manchester City defender Micah Richards emerges as surprise target for Arsenal
9 Mar 2013 23:00

Gunners see the England full-back, who is currently sidelined, as a ready made replacement for wantaway Bacary Sagna

Or the one where we want to replace Zab's with Byram as Micah is favoured in the middle of the defence? Replacement for Nasri also?

Some might think the Mirror doesn't like us.

I wonder what they had to say about the Rags after the debacle in midweek. Rooney on his way out, Fergie under pressure? Nah, not a peep. Rooney to resign, Chevy to pay for Tranny, just another day in the life of the Mirror. Sychophancy at it's greatest.

This is the same paper that employs that vile. odious cunt Paul Smith (the sneering bastard who always slates us on the Sunday Supplement) to make up stories for it. Says it all really, still there's no agenda - carry on

The reason I ask if Vinnie is worth £20 mil is because there aren't that many really world class defenders around who are on the market. Who do we take a valuation off, who sets the precedence?

We paid a lot of money for Nastasic who is still very young and to some extents, not proven. Or do we go off the CamelGob deal from years ago, £30 mil all the way back then?

To me, Vinnie epitomises what we are all about. He's worth more to us than any price but I do wonder where the line would be drawn if someone came in with a huge bid.

Well Chelsea paid €25m for Sideshow Bob, so based on that, £40m should get Barca Vince's left leg.

Ferdinand was how much? That's a starting point. Vinnie is miles better.

[littlebig]

Not gonna happen. We're not in the business of selling quality players let alone one of the most important at the club.

Any player's head would be turned by Barca calling but he's got it all here.

I wish to reassess my valuation based on today's game - if Sideshow Bob is worth €25m, Vince is worth Messi plus every penny every Barca fan in the world has.

What can Vinnie get at Barca that he can't get at CITY? At the moment all I can think of is a tan and playing in front of 90k+ every home game. He can work on his tan in the summer here, and whos to say we wont end up with a 90k+ stadium of our own in the (not too distant) future?

Don't think he needs a tan.

[phips]

What can Vinnie get at Barca that he can't get at CITY?

the fact that they will basically win at least 2 trophies a season.

Is that so? How's that working out for them this season then? Out of the cup, two goals down with one leg to go in the CL...

[Lee_R]

I think Vinny would rather compete in the PL than La Liga

I never realised, Steve, that you placed such a value upon constipation.

[Beefymcfc]

and im going to shit a gold bar

Do you want your arse wiping, sir?

[Sideshow Bob]

Sanchez plus cash? Would not want to lose vinny but we've coped fairly well without him for long stretches...

Fucking give yr retarded head a wobble.

Sanchez is fucking crap and we dodged a massive bullet when he signed for Barca imo.

I wonder about you sometimes, just sayin'.

The man himself: "Besides, I am convinced that I can win just as many honours with City as I could with Barcelona or Real Madrid."

How very raglike
