It's Quiet 18 - Wanna ring the bell?

[Franknorgrovesnephew]

Where?

I can't see anything and many people are backtracking on the rumor.

Think that's before it was found to be one of the young city lads who had got injured

 

[lol yank]

Tolmie has said on twitter its a reliable source whos mentioned the kovasic injury

Can you please post where he said this

 

[Keeper!]

its ben knight who went down

Ben White is the one that like to go down alot*

*allegedly.

Amazed that Laporte is not in serious demand, I think he will take a loan rather than sit on the bench, he is better than that.

Maybe the news of Barca's dodgy media deal today may mean both Cancelo and Laporte move there, loans with buy options maybe our best and only option.

I think he is, I just think clubs are waiting it out, the closer it gets to the end the more likely to get a better deal.

He also wouldn't entertain a downwards step imo, so it limits it to the top clubs, a few of which are either skint (Barca/Juve) or stacked. Don't really want to imagine him going Saudi just yet. But between staying and going on loan, I would think he'd rather stay. Personally.

I think he will definitely go even if that means going on loan.

all potential buyers for Cancelo Laporte are happy for City to pay their wages rather than sign them up early june vs last week of August, also hoping this will reduce asking price a lot.
for example we put in a 60m option fee for bayern, will be surprised now if we get even 25m for Cancelo upfront. and that just 6-7 months later compared to the 60m fee.

loan with option to buy is the most likely scenario imo for these two, unless we can get Saudi teams to get involved and convince them to give up european football before they hit age 32-33 etc...

RW is the priority for me.

But we have Foden & Bernado.

 

[blueparrot]

RW is the priority for me.

Left for me but ideally somebody that is comfortable playing either side.

Looks like Mitoma is off then.

 

[Kamaro011]

Palmer will be either going to West Ham or Brighton if this goes through.

[wolviedinho]

McGrath is normally good for City. Maybe we have gotten priced out of the Mitoma deal with Brighton.

 

[Tricky_Trev]

Transfers windows are crazy. I remember at the start it seemed likely we’d be getting Bellingham. Fast forward to today and it’s Doku and Paqueta. I didn’t see that coming!

Somethings Happening

50-60 mil for Doku... No way.

 

[SuperSilva21]

A bit of an update but nothing too ground-breaking!

No solid interest as it stands in Cancelo and Laporte, looks like we'll definitely have to take a hit to get rid of them!

Obvious interest in Paqueta but bid yet to be made.

Definitely looking at a winger and a creative player (Paqueta) before the window shuts.

On a side note was told Stone, Dias and Bernardo all picked injuries up in training yesterday (as to severity/length of time out/missing tomorrows game etc I don't know!)

Que the inevitable abuse but just passing on some news....

Fab all over it as well.

 

[Tricky_Trev]

Doku and Paqueta for about £110m… can’t lie, I don’t know if that’s the best use of our budget. I guess only time will tell.

 

[Gundogan's Moustache]

50-60 mil for Doku... No way.

Imagine it’s being reported in Euros.

if we value Palmer at £30 Million it won’t be far of it

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

50-60 mil for Doku... No way.

€50m is £43m. Bear in mind they paid €25m for him.

I reckon £35m plus £10m add-ons probably gets it done.
