Strange player, seems to have bag of potential but never seems to use it. Not a youngster either. Thought maybe he could spend 3 years here and be a useful squad player with HG status but seems the management want him off. That loan to Valencia was a bad bad move for him
I think he could make a player if he got the chance. Fantastic engine on him & decent footballer, wins tackles at one end & gets into scoring positions at the other.
But if something has fucked up this deal, we have a problem if DeBruyne is coming as there aren't enough spaces. We have to get someone out this week or we end up with a player, under contract, who can't play. That would be a really bad situation for the club & absolutely awful for the player.
Didn't think of it that way, great point!
Surprised a lower prem club like west brom or Sunderland don't fancy taking a punt on him, if not then clubs like boro, qpr etc
You need to spend 3 years before turning 21 in the English system to be HG. He was never going to be HG for us.Strange player, seems to have bag of potential but never seems to use it.

his stock seems low which is a pity since he's gotta go to make room for KDB.

Mediagol: City and Palermo have held talks over a deal for Bruno Zuculini (22). Would be a loan + option to buy w/ buy-back option for City.

Mediagol: Palermo have an agreement with City but have the deal in 'standby mode' while they consider options. Under 8 hours left in Italy.
I don't get why some of these clubs aren't in for him. Some of them will almost certainly sign much worse players in the next week or so, for more money.
I imagine that if nobody takes a gamble on him today, we will be in quite a predicament regarding this & could end up actually having to pay his wages in order to get him out, otherwise the poor kid would be stuck at City unable to play proper football, & signing a kid & bringing him here then doing that to him at 22 years old, would be a really poor indictment of the club.Given the hole left in the middle of the park sinze N'zonzie left, i'd take him at stoke in a heartbeat.
Don't know wtf is going on with us hedging all our bets on van ginkel...a loanee no less!
I imagine City learned their lesson with Hughes and Guidetti.Given the hole left in the middle of the park sinze N'zonzie left, i'd take him at stoke in a heartbeat.
