If u follow my twitter u know how much dedication and energy i've put on all these rumours and all of a sudden he is playing with me. I can't take it. I want to hear that he is in manchester and not bloody paris
I have followed this forum for many years and because you seem to have good knowledge or you proclaim to watch various games around the world, when you make an opinion on a player it sticks in my mind.
Okay, so over the years there has been several of players you wanted City to sign...
Dejan Lovren when at Lyon
Jordan Amavi when at Rennes
Nolito when at Celta Vigo
Boufal when at Lille
Ghezzal when at Lyon
Pastore when at Palermo
I am not questioning your football knowledge in any stretch of the imagination, but sometimes I do feel you make comments on players no one has ever seen just to be different than everybody else. Yes, you may have seen all of these players play when at the clubs I mentioned,
The Sessegnon comment was a pushback at the "he is young and thus will be worth the expensive price" trend that emerged in the prior few pages. Hence why I put an asterix. I was simply suggesing if we are going for potential, the 16 year old first teamer at Fulham sounds like better potential to me.I have followed this forum for many years and because you seem to have good knowledge or you proclaim to watch various games around the world, when you make an opinion on a player it sticks in my mind.

Now to the players Ive suggested in the past:
Lovren, yes in 2011 I believe he was abetter defender than Lescott. I still do. But better still, he was better than everyone we bought in that period. Savic, Nastacic, Demichelis, and then Mangala.
Amavi apparently is who Monaco is eyeing to replace Mendy. So make of that what you will. I thought Amavi was fantastic in France and was well on his way here until that injury. Amavi over Kolarov? I'd have taken that all day.
Nolito was never a player I pined for. I think I mentioned him once on a list of wingers not at top clubs we should look at. Never saw anything special in him, and was openly anti us buying him last summer. But that was more a fucntiom of me being an ageist and wanting more speed and guile on the wings.
As it turns out, I was wrong about Nolito, he is a better player than I gave him credit for. Even if he fell after Sane rose.
Boufal, yes I'm enamoured by his skill. And he was one of the 4 wingers I hoped City bought 3 of Asensio, Sane and Gabriel. As I thought we needed 4 skillful/ speedy wingers. 3 new ones plus Sterling. We got 2 of those 4 plus Nolito. Would probably have preferred Boufal.
Ghezal I believe was a retort to those who wanted us to go get Mahrez. I simply pointed out if its s Mahrez type player you want Ghexzal is a cheaper clone. Same way I suggested Gueye as a cheaper version of Kante. On both counts those opinions are still valied.
I purposely left Pastors for last, as this might be the one player who my expectations of fell terribly short. He finally got very good the last 2 years, but I was expecting David Silva like success from him. So on Pastore I raise my hand.
