I will back this up by saying that I do think that he looks like a decent player, just that even a decent performance against this iteration of Marseille probably wouldn't be the best way to judge him.

LOL. Even the most ardent of Marseille fans (I work with a few & my FiL is one) wouldn't claim that this is 'a decent Marseille side'. I'd reserve judgement on anyone from a any side that only beat them 2-1 (for the above reasons, I had an eye on last night's game, and wasn't overly impressed).

Maybe Newcastle (a lot more value in him than a Phillips loan, IMO)

Which - at 4 goals in 160-odd appearances - would suggest that their current defensive midfielder is off somewhere.

It probably wouldnt help in terms of confidence if gets ripped a new one by Newcastle, to be fair (or us as a team).

Think Liverpool will accept Salah bid also...... think the Saudi club will stump up 200m before the Saudi deadline on the 7th, and he'll be off with Klopp knowing that he'll have 10 windows of £100m players à la Coutinho.

Johnson to Spurs (bid accepted)

I'd want Arsenal to at least have an obligation to buy loan deal. If not then no.

One thing on that is that I really hope (for both us & the player's confidence) that we can get Bobb out of the door on loan in January. Hopefully letting him get his education training with the first team, and then into a Championship team where he'll play against blokes will benefit him...

Massive 'IF', but if we were to strengthen another position in this window (a lightening, thunderfuck signing), what would you go for ?

Do. Not. Go. There. :D

I think that him having the 4 months out (plus his normal 1.5-2 months to get back to being himself) makes us a real threat for the CL again this year. Hopefully we can still be in the PL mix (with a deeper level of competition & having to bed Nunes & Doku in).

So the reason for us scrimping and saving is for a cloning machine and to get block 127 fitted out entirely with Recaro seats for our 40 main squad & ensemble of training staff.

Now THAT is a better idea.

I love when City fans get involved with the players / celebrations. Charlton at home, Blackburn away (Robinho), Villa away (FAC, Richards), Bournemouth away (Sterling) & now Sheff Utd away (Haaland). Any other examples ?

I can't help but feel that the reason for stuff going quiet on Nunes is that we are trying to pull a rather large rabbit out of a rather large hat elsewhere. No I'm not ITK, but O'Neil seems to be pretty categoric that he at least expects still to be working with Nunes once the window is...

The guy gets a lot of stuff right, but - looking at his X profile, gets a lot 5and I mean A LOT) of stuff wrong also. According to his feed, Barca and City reached a deal for a loan of Bernardo a year ago, Achraf Hakimi should be playing for Chelsea at the moment & Jurrien Timber is a Rag after...

OK, 3.5 days to go in the window, and it'd still be nice to get either 1 class box-to-box midfielder, or a DM & CM. We'll the 1st even if we don't get Nunes.

This is the £47.2m bid that everyone knows has been turned down (within 24 hours of us showing interest). According to other sources we're likely to go back with another one that will be closer to their valuation.

People know when their rewards are merited - even if they're loathe to admit it - everyone knows that none of his medals from last season were earned (although I may be wrong, and he may be a Scott Carson style bonus on the personality front). You would have though that a once first choice...
