He asked about gonzalez not yourself.

188 cm or 6ft something.

I'll put my neck on the line and say this guy is going to be absolutely mint and will be the best double pivot in world football alongside Rodri in 2 years for both City and Spain

Never underestimate what fans say about him, those that follow the league in Portugal think he is brilliant

 

[skillman]

Presuming he’s not a panic buy. I do wonder why we didn’t just pay his release clause on 1st Jan instead of waiting a month and losing a few games in between.

Personally think it’s the fact we were waiting to see if we qualified for CL play offs or not.

If he’s half as good as your namesake, we’re in for a treat.

I think it's this. It would have a knock on effect in potentially replacing de bruyne and whoever else leaves end of season

Not as daft as it sounds, was certainly the case a few years back that they used them in most business for anything of a legal nature.

Maybe, but maybe the player wanted to stay with porto for the qualifying too.Or both.

Or he wasn’t available till Porto qualified for their comp

That would make sense. Seems Pep has been a fan for quite a while so probably on the radar but like you said, the PSG result and the first half v Brugges nudged us along.

 

[GaslightAnthem]

By the end of tonight, he’ll be playing for a team, of that, I’m certain.

 

[Moss Side's Finest]

I’m not wearing any, never do on a Deadline Day, just in case I need quick access.

Lol. Fair do's. No hard feelings.

Relations with Porto. They were still in a tight title-race at the start of january, and they had a crucial game in Europa this thursday. We have form for this, and it is reasonable to expect that we are coming back for their keeper in the summer

I'm not sure about that. We were always very very likely to come top 24. So we could have signed him Jan 1st if that was all it was about. Does being draw against Real Madrid and most likely being knocked out in the play offs mean we sign this guy? I don't think so.

I think the last half hour capitulation at Arsenal might have had something to do with it as well.

If he is half as good as him I'll tattoo his face all over my stomach

I know the guys that do the medicals in this country (the cardiology side anyway) and if they're anything like them theyll have charged for 9 hrs and been done in an hr
