Happy Birthday TH.

People need to remember that PSG are not in any rush.

Like us, they have a transfer restriction and have already spent the majority of it on Luiz.

The last thing they need to be doing is a favour to City, by splurging on Toure right now, whilst tipping off the rest of Europe that theythen need to raise X amount in outgoings to balance the books.

The longer they leave it, anyhow, the lower the price will be for a player who still has plenty of weeks for agitation.

If they know Toure wants to join them, they can sit on their hands.

A bit of inside info here, but PSG have decided that they don't give a shit about UEFA's restriction and have tabled a 60m euro bid for Di Maria. It was tabled on Sunday apparently, according to someone who I know here in Paris who works very centrally at PSG (I was actually asking him about Yaya & he said that a Yaya bid was not a priority for them as far as he knew, although they would take him if the opportunity came along).

without selling and i don't think they have
if true, what could uefa do with such an overspend bearing in mind their restriction
could they say no sorry you can't have di maria as that would take you over your allowable limit?
i have no idea if PSG accepted their sanction as we did

PSG could spend 200m this summer and I bet UEFA want assess it to next year where they could ban them from the competition

I will be astonished that a club, PSG included, would spend 30m+ on a 31 year old.

I also don't think it would do our PR any good selling arguably our best player to PSG because whether people like it or not we will always be judged in relation to PSG and Chelsea.

Is there a possibility we might not get either? If we don't get Mangala could Benatia already be gone, as i heard a few things about Bayern being interested in him.

Don't worry I'm reliably informed that we have a further contingency plan
