Could this be a way of throwing City's hat in to the ring by his agent, in order for Real to offer him a better contract?

Just worried about how this might affect the mentality of Ruben & John. It would almost certainly lead to the departures of Laporte & Ake. Haven't we all just agreed that Ruben should be our next captain? Mind you, if he goes to one of our rivals, several of whom lack a strong central defender, it might prove equally costly. Much to debate I feel. On a similar theme, how about Lewandowski to City?
John Stones should keep himself mentally strong after mistakes he makes. It Ramos affects him mentally than we have problemsJust worried about how this might affect the mentality of Ruben & John.

We spent around 100 million on centre-backs last summer, and John Stones reignited his career. Laporte should do the same with us this coming season. Ramos can vamoose.

The days of buying players at the end of their careers should have long gone. We have no need to buy players who have won this or that, we want players who are WINNING this 'n that. And just imagine the bullshite in the week preceding a Dipper v City game. Ramos wouldn't last a single half with the likes of Taylor 'n Attwell in charge - whether he touches anyone one or not. Just can't see City hierarchy thinking about this.We spent around 100 million on centre-backs last summer, and John Stones reignited his career. Laporte should do the same with us this coming season.

Have stayed well clear of all forums and social media since the loss!
this rumour has brought me back with a bang! Would be absolutely buzzing if we signed him, the work he would do in bringing on stones and Dias would be priceless and he would bring a proper winning mentality to the squad!

If this had happend in 2015 when this thread started great but we know he used us for a pay rise.
Now he is six years older playing the same game.
Fukin big NO.
Mind after saying that I would have him for the Chelsea game to snap Rudiger

Only positive i see to this deal is the bringing of experience. It would probably mean the end of Laporte and Ake, so it would be a no from me

Nor I. Pure paper talk to fuel his renegotiation with Real Madrid.The days of buying players at the end of their careers should have long gone. We have no need to buy players who have won this or that, we want players who are WINNING this 'n that. And just imagine the bullshite in the week preceding a Dipper v City game. Ramos wouldn't last a single half with the likes of Taylor 'n Attwell in charge - whether he touches anyone one or not. Just can't see City hierarchy thinking about this.
That said, I'd pay good money to see him up against Wood and Barnes at Turf Moor on a bitterly cold night, though preferably not in our colours.

This is one of the worst takes I've ever seen on this forum.

I can't see us having room in our salary pot to accommodate his requirements

The only way he's coming in is if Laporte is leaving IMO. It's gonna take a big fee to get Laporte, you would have thought, i just can't see who would pay it outside of PSG?

Why have they gone, surely there is a time and place for everything.There will be situations when an older player is preferable. I think if Laporte goes this is one, if an older player has less expectaions . It will depend on things we can't know one of which is how we expect academy players at different ages to progress. Delap may be another where we have high expectations ,so Kane is preffered to Haaland. We can't know.The days of buying players at the end of their careers should have long gone.

I watched him play at Chelsea. Ramos was shockingly bad. Thiago Silva is older than Ramos but he carries his age well. Ramos doesn't.This is one of the worst takes I've ever seen on this forum.

I've not based my opinion on 1 game he was rushed back to play half-fit, but by watching La Liga most weekends over the season.
He's been really good when he's fit. When he was playing through injuries, he wasn't. I assume we'd not sign him unfit.
It was clear that Ramos was unfit at that game. I think this is all about to getting a 2yr deal out of Real Madrid.I watched him play at Chelsea. Ramos was shockingly bad. Thiago Silva is older than Ramos but he carries his age well. Ramos doesn't.

Are you for real or maybe Ramos' agent? He doesn't need to bring on Stones & Dias. They are already the finished article. As a third choice if Laporte lacks the balls to stay and fight for his place (like JS did so well) then he may be worth considering but not on full pay. He is at retirement age.Have stayed well clear of all forums and social media since the loss!
