Balotelli.

[Goo]

I'm so sick of hearing about this agent of his trying to squeeze every last drop out of us like we're a Florida orange. This guy's worse than Heather Mills!

From now on I'm OS only with regards to Balo!

Really, you are getting all up in a roar because of what you read on a "transfer forum" which equals a rumor site? Really, it's that easy to get under your skin. Take care, you won't be missed.

haha, I went overboard with the metaphors! Nah I'm just getting frustrated waiting for things to happen. I get that the Agent's is just doing his job, but as a fan it can be a test of patience! Feels like I've been waiting for the season to start for aggeeessssss! More importantly, November the 10th!

The first I knew of this was what I read on the forum when I was at work and people were saying that SSN were talking about it being "sensational" news, which could only be bad, or so it appeared. aI got the impression from that there was a significant problem. You only have to look back at the posts on here to see the way it was spun by self-appointed ITK's. They were making it sound like the best we could hope for was a long delay and there was every chance the deal was in a state of collapse.

So there.

Feels like it's going to be another August 31st signing at this rate.

PMSL Epic

Yeah he is like Heather Mills, there both carrying a bit of timber.

Hey there might be B'Mooners who only have one leg...not that I do, last time I looked

I've got 3 hence the name "Trigger" ;)

But you have to appreciate that it is extremely tiresome to have to listen to the player's agent whoring about the place and contradicting himself every five minutes. He gets people's hopes up, then he dashes them, then he does it all over again. It has been happening for a week. If there really is going to be a problem with the negotiations, then of course we need to start looking elsewhere. This bullshit is not sustainable. I'm not making a judgement on the the respective merits of these two players, I'm talking about attitude and feasibility. You are wrong if you think this should be allowed to go on much longer.

I don't think it will go on much longer. What I think is bonkers is to get the deal to the brink, then stamp your feet at the death and go all Veruca Salt on the agent (who is just doing what he is paid for at the end of the day!)

The internet is to blame - sit here pressing F5 and pouring over every bit of rumour and speculation, getting moist when it's good and suicidal when it's bad and yeah, it will get on your tits.

Sky Italia have been the main culprits today, and seem to have lurched from it's happening within a few hours to it's stalled to it's happening tomorrow - all of which they have clearly made up.

Trust the club to know what to do and how to handle it. They have closed plenty of big deals already this summer - seems like they know what they are doing to me!

We are currently in the same phase we were the day before Kolarov signed - oh my God some random foreign language site says there's an unspecified problem! It's off! Shit! Panic! Oh phew he's signed.

But that only went on for a week! This saga has gone on for weeks, if not months since the first contact.

It would be absolutely typical if the transfer was off at this late stage

Could someone give me a quick update on the latest? I tried making sense of all the 'sensational news' thing but just got awfully confused :L

Would be much appreciated, thanks :)

Balo's agent came to Manchester then went back to Milan.

Reports saying we've not agreed a price or personal terms yet.

Basicly is dragging on even longer.

 

[Pam]

Whether he comes to us or not, you can't blame him for wanting to leave Italy. Look what he has to put up with in the mainstream media:

Racial abuse from fascist football fans is one thing, but when a national television show can put a guy in black face like that it shows that the country might have some problems with race. I don't know about the UK, but in the US that sh*t wouldn't fly.

racist fukin cocksuckin twats!

Old biddy pissing herself amongst others, they are a fookin disgrace

Oh my God, WTF? That is appalling. Where did the OP find it? And is there a trascript of what he's meant to be saying.

Thanks, so what was this 'Sensational news' earlier on? anything positive?
Also will the talks continue tomorrow and was it reported City officials are flying to Milan tomorrow to finalise the deal?

I didn't hear about any "sensational news" maybe it was just some KFA muppet chatting shit. You know, the usual stuff on here.

Unreliable sources saying we may get the deal done tomorrow and some saying done at the weekend.

Look at all the doom mongering. It was the first thing I read when I a logged on to sneak a peak. Proper put out, I was, reading all that.

I would hardly think it would be "a price" as surely that would have to be done with Milan, prior to City being given permission to speak to the Player or his agent.
Can only be this bastard agent stringing it out !!

its all journo crap

nothing has probably changed.

ye of little faith!

Thanks mate, love u x

lol, you seriously have to be taking the piss?

I would be delighted to sign Dzeko, but to walk away from a deal this exciting in a fit of pique because we want it NOW would be the single most stupid call ever made in the history of football.

Get thicker skin.. dont listen to them.. dont read this forum.. If bothers you so much. This is the wa alot of negotiations go, just most multi million pound deals are done in private.

No cares if a Hotel chain picks a new advertising firm for 35 million pounds.. and it took 6 to 9 months to finalize the deal.

These are deals done on acid because of time restraints.

tuttomercatoweb is this morning saying gazetta said ratatouille asked for 800,000euros (from city) and was told to go fish. I can't quite be sure how it translates, but it seems he's flown back to try and sort out something with inter so he gets his wonga. sky italia were mentioned as well, god knows why. my guess is, this is the reason the price and wages haven't been 'agreed' (i.e. finalised). if inter have to pay 800k , they will ask city to up the fee, then city will ask the player to take a hit on his wages. or everyone chips in and compromises. or something like that. it's just the usual bollocks that crops up right at the end of these european deals. he's coming, and soon enough.

I am thinking the same. It is a bit of a pattern, these days. Today's distorted media coverage didn't help. Having spent the best part of a week the gun jumping and and telling us a deal was hours away, the idiots suddenly tell us it has sensational news of the deal being off. All those silly Vatican white smoke black smoke analogies weren't very helpful either.

Still, this appeaed three hours ago. Don't know if it's regurgitation or not but I think the flapping was premature.
