I joined this forum a few months ago (at the sharp end of the kaka transfer saga if I remember rightly) I joined because like most fans we want to see good players joining our club, we want to be optimistic about our chances, and to have a bit of hope. Speculation surrounding our club and potential signings now reaches huge proportions on forums,tv and in the media, and in English football the media look to who we are signing with great interest. there is not many players who they, us or other clubs fans consider out of our reach. I come on this forum bacause I want to read transfer gossip, and to discuss them with fellow City fans. I don't know if any of these people who post rumours are telling the truth,that to an extent is not what matters, its not always clear cut or black and white. City could be in discussions with any number of players,and as much as they want to, when outside agencies get involved, leaks are unavoidable and snippets of gossip will get out, and thats where this forum comes in. People can choose to believe or not believe, each to their own, but some of the witch hunts that go on are just purile. I don't know Ajay, and he has been on this forum a lot longer than me, but from what I have read of his posts he isn't on here for an ego trip, or to make up stories, rather just an avid City fan who passes on the snippets he hears.If those snippets don't materialise, so what, they cause no harm,and we move onto the next rumour!
