It's Quiet thread 14 - 'do one' edition

Ajax is demanding £22.7m, which sounds a bit too specific to be a made-up number by this journalist. Could he actually know anything about this? Reliable?

 

[MeatHunterrr]

Yeah, sounds like hes been briefed by the club.

So if City know his price, it means we have contacted his agent at least.

Not that specific just converted from €25 mill .

 

[fredmont]

Who else can play right back though?

Elano

 

[Steve Coppell’s 33 Days]

You are right on that, have Cancelo been in the squad lately?

Someone must out, but who?

Cancelo got injured with Portugal. Apparently, he’s back after the next international break.

It’s possible - if somewhat expensive - to not offload anybody & leave someone out of the champs league squad and just have them around for the EPL squad (Torres is u21 for that).

There’s also an option not to have Carson as the 3rd Champs League keeper and go with an academy keeper as third choice. Bit of a risk but maybe worth it.

Tagliafico to City on Twitter is on Sky Sports, Jack Gaughan (Daily Mail), Simon Bajkowski (MEN), Martin Blackburn (The Sun, i know.), James Ducker (The Telegraph).

Not entirely sure who’s the most reliable here but we can’t deny it’s picking up pace. Or they’re just copying each other.

Didnt Cancelo say recently he wasn’t happy in England and wanted to move? I’m sure it was an interview in a Spanish paper?

Well, i havent had time to see the reports, but if the journos have printed the stories as their own ( not mentioning any other paper in their article, for example like daily mail saying "as per the Telegraph"), in that case, they have all got their info directly from the Club and it's a club brief

Let's see, we will find out soon anyway as window closes soon

Still hoping for Alaba as he can play LB/CDM which we need

 

[Gingers Dad]

The phrase "False No.9" makes my blood run cold

You sound like my dad moaning about "Libero" back in the 70's. You need to keep up with the modern parlance

It only picks up pace if Zinchenko leaves. But he’s injured now and might stay.

Said the same about otamendi and he still went

 

[BillyShears]

As I tweeted last night, the offer went in for a left back yesterday. Expectation is that there'll be movement today. Zinchenko isn't relevant to the transaction as far as I've been told. The decision to bring a player in has been made.

Should know later if it's Tagliafico.

Aah Ajax my friend, lol

Yer Dad's right, G. Modern parlance needs burying and those who coin it should be locked up in Dartmoor until they have eaten a rather voluminous dictionary. Whenever I'm filling in the team sheet on Cityzens I always say to myself "Who shall I have as Centre Half, and who will I put at Left Half". I always want Raheem at outside right or outside left.

 

[oldius]

Aah Ajax my friend, lol

I heard we were scouring the globe for talent.

 

[mcfcinprague]

Nah! It's Mr. Muscle

Was holding out hope for Alaba

Ahh well, the Ajax lad also seems decent

haha love it!

Left sided Zaba vibes.

Dave Ewing used to run coaching sessions at Platt Lane for local amateur teams, I reckon he would have given you a thumbs up
