It would cost way more than that for De Rossi as he signed a new five year contract in February!

no Axel to grind here then!

Better hurry as Real Madrid are legitimately in for him.

This would be a good signing IMO although I'd rather have Martinez but maybe the Martinez deal is too expensive. Could get Witsel for under £20million, Milan have offered £10.5million + Taye Taiwo for him.

How about Fulham's dembele ? He has proven his worth in the PL and He would be cheaper . I would rather have Kompany talk to Dembele than witsel . Witsel would be a gamble but dembele has been tried and tested in the PL.

Different style of player really.

Technically, Dembele is a fantastic footballer, but he doesn't really do anything with his ability. He's been linked with the top clubs for a while but I can't see it happening any time soon. We can do much better than Dembele.

Not really , Dembele is a utility player . He doesn't always play defensive but I've seen him player at the DMF role .

The press must of picked up on when we tried to sign Eden Hazard and they thought Vinnie was trying to convince him to join City.

The latter. It was pretty obvious that he doesn't like him too much. No chance he would be so reserved if that's not the case.

I hope we get him as the CM option. A very good player.
