Sterling, Pogba, De Bruyne, Wilshere, think i read about Coleman somewhere, anyway that's a good few to get the snub count up and running, I am sure they will think of a few others as they waffle on into July.
exactly, only a handful of players - we're rarely mentioned in the bbc football gossip section at the moment. a few years back we dominated it.

De Bruyne says his adviser never told Bild that he was staying at Wolfsburg next season. Come and get me?

Can they not buy him and loan him straight out for a few months?

I wonder what West Ham fans think of their new Manager ?? .....a vast improvement on BFS.
Be interesting to note Walmai's thoughts as well.

Will he be a vast improvement? He did a good job with the Croatian national team but a poor spell in Russia and an average spell in Turkey mean there are still a lot of question marks about him as a club manager. Massive season this for the hammers, second half of the season they have been very poor. If they don't get off to a good start this season then try could get dragged into a relegation battle. Playing Championship football in the Olympic stadium will be very embarrassing. I think they should have stuck with BFS for this year, he would have guaranteed them to stay up and then move into the new stadium and move forward.

I think they have slipped up - whether they like it or not they are relegation fodder and have been for well over a decade now, bfs at least had a track record of keeping such teams up

I think that you can't loan a player if you haven't registered him so Barca either promise to buy a player in January or buy him and wait till January to play him in matches. Can't see Pogba sitting around for months but Juve might agree to wait till January to start getting paid for him.

His agent is in talks with us according to the press - looks like signing no 1 is on route

If he was 'unsettled', he'd care, wouldn't he?

It's funny how they all become unsettled when there is flipping great wodges of cash in the offing.
City and sniffing knickers.

I never really rated de Bruyne that highly, but he got voted best player of the Bundesliga this season (over 50% of the votes, Robben was second on 24%), so I guess I just haven't seen him enough.

I'm with you Nooly, I have not seen enough of him to be able to comment as those votes are from fans who have watched him, however, on the few occasions I have seen him, he has been pretty anonymous TBH

Mail say we're open to offers for Dzeko. Looking for 20 million. Hmm not sure we'll get that. Offers also invited for Jovetic. I think it's possible Kolarov will stay. 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.

I can't claim to have seen loads of De Bruyne or Pogba but from what I have seen I would take Kev over Paiul. Kev looks like an upgraded Milner, much younger and has a touch of class (not just a work horse). Paul has loads of potential but drifts around aimlessly at times too. I would take both players of course but £40m is enough for Poggy, no more.
