Plus it was the eyes and ears for our forces-bit like Tolmie to Bluemoon really!Manx Blue said:fbloke said:Nimrod was a plane that never quite made the grade, had years of development issues and was eventually scrapped.
I would say that that is quite apt for the loftier thoughts of this summers signings.
Possibly...but it did fly from 1967 to 2011 so had a reasonably long career too.

We should sue UEFA for making our financial and squad restrictions so public.
There was an extensive prior consultation with our rivals to determine what sanctions would damage us most. They knew about our restrictions before we did.
On the contrary, I believe that any prior consultation was with City and took the form of , "How much do you intend to spend this summer?" to which the reply was "£49million" and so UEFA, in return for us playing ball , giving the likes of Wenger etc little chance to winge on, set the cap at EXACTLY the gross amount of our planned spending. Sanchez, Fabregas, Rodriquez etc were never, under any circumstances, going to be bought this summer. They are Bluemoon pipe dreams. City don't buy players now just because they are available, planning is longer term and is not to be derailed in such a way.

Hummels won't leave and definitely not for as little as that. Mangala is coming to City, the video has been made because from our end everything is sorted. Now it is between Porto and the 3rd party to resolve their issues prior to any announcement. Relax, he is ours!

I am surprised we are not after Schneiderlin who is HG as well.
