Nothing confirmed but can't blame people fearing the worst considering.
You reckon? Admittedly, at this point I'd rather have had Evans than nobody but I think what we actually needed wasn't a fourth choice CB but someone genuinely good enough to step in for Kompany for long periods of the season. This particular "knock" might end up being something and nothing but by not prioritising CB at all during the window we have left ourselves completely at the mercy of Kompany's calf muscles this season. At some point it is very likely that it will be a big problem and the most annoying thing is that it wasn't exactly hard to predict. Still, at least we gave spending pots of cash on another attacker a good go, right to the very end of the window.
Here we go again, City players no use fuck em off....... No he wont, he is lifeblood of City in the dressing room, on the pitch, blue blood runs through his viens, we re not going to get rid of thatI'm afraid if vinny can't see he needs to step away from international football his career at city is coming to a sad end
Pep will ship him out

I wish he would retire from International Football. This is beyond a joke now.
I presume that Vinny wants to go to the World Cup next summer but surely then, with his age and injury record, his Belgium career will come to an end. Didn't they qualify in this round of matches? If so, hopefully they'll help us out by using him sparingly in the dead rubbers and friendlies to come between now and the end of the season.
Amongst other reasons the main one was Southampton decided to make a stand and he wasn't for sale, same reason Chelsea or anyone else didn't buy him.Why didn't we buy VVD!?
Why didn't we buy VVD!?
Yeah, selfish fucker wanting to captain his country in a world cup finals.I'm afraid if vinny can't see he needs to step away from international football his career at city is coming to a sad end

Guess we wanted to add a little bit of entertainment by Stones-Otamendi comedy show.Why didn't we buy VVD!?
I am really getting pissed off with this media focus on our defence, particularly this issue of Kompany and his injuries, that is taking proportions of psychological warfare against us. The current champions Chelsea conceded 33 to our 39 goals, but you would be excused to think we shipped 120 at least listening to Keown, Dixon, Carragher and Co. We had almost the same number of infamous tackles like them; better ratio of ball clearances than them, even managed to have 2 penalties saved. But you never hear statistic that was our real problem: Chelsea scored 85 out of 580 shots (ratio 6.82), while we managed meagre 80 out of 633 (ratio 7.91). The big chances missed, Chelsea 32, us 48!!! Even at hitting the post, us 20, them f..ers 17. Our real problem was that in attack we were shadows of the team that won two titles. There was only one person who was banging about this game in game out, Pep Guardiola. But he is only our manager, what the hell does he know?
Spot-on. We conceded less chances than any team last season but everytime someone shot Bravo let it in. We had the third best defence in terms of goals conceded...pretty good considering how much we attack. It is true we are vulnerable at set pieces...but not as much as Liverpool.I am really getting pissed off with this media focus on our defence, particularly this issue of Kompany and his injuries, that is taking proportions of psychological warfare against us.

You cannot know all that.Some say it's because he only wants Liverpool.
I say 'my arse' to that. He'd be here like a shot & Southampton would sell at the right price.
It's because we kept the money to buy more attackers.
He will cost more if we do end up buying him, than if we'd moved straight in.
