How has he gone from 6m to 17m.

City tax :)

I wouldn't ever sign him on a free transfer. Better to give JWE the chance than signing him.

Now I'm beginning to worry that he took your girlfriend at a Pub in Portugal or something.

Your dislike is bordering on the personal :)

No, for me the problem with this guy is that he can't defend, he is injury-prone, 27-years of age (so not a long-term option for us) and he is a...midget? I think we need more physicality in terms of fullbacks, that kind of fullbacks like him don't work well in the Premier League. My personal choices: 1. Cucurella 2. Sosa 3. Raum/Lodi.

He hasn't had a major injury in years, played 48 games last season, is the same age Walker and Fernandinho were when we signed them and he's 1cm shorter than Cucurella.

Please mate, don't compare his quality to Walker's and Fernandinho's they were much more better players than him at that age. If he would be good, then some big club would have signed him. For some reason any big club hasn't done this yet and he is nowhere near Spanish National Team as well. So why are we not interested in Gaya who Enrique rates higher than him? Or Marcos Alonso? Your arguments don't work in that particular case.

just lets hope its a bluff to push Brighton into selling

Yeah but you can bet if we signed him he’d make the roque Santa Cruz signing look fit and healthy..

I'm not providing arguments, I'm giving a bit of balance to yours because you seem to be all about strong opinions without much thought.

Your first two days on here have been reminiscent of Jonathan Woodgate's debut at the Bernabeu, if I may be so bold.

His market value is about 10-20m£, I guess that for City it's an important factor when they are buying player that this value would increase in the future. There's not guarantee that it'll happen. We could have some situations (like with Angelino) that some player didn't work well for us, but we need a guarantee that we would sell him with profit. The situation that he is not rated by many big clubs (27 years old age and still he's Benfica players) is kinda weird.
