Who the hell is Rami?

 

[Rammyblues]

Abdil Rami, 27 year old french defender. There is a thread about him.

i think this thread should be purged of comments and locked so that only actual signings are posted here.

Or actual speculation and progression of transfers . None of this "we should part exchange this player,that player , and the other player" .

It will be when I get round to it it will be purely factual about City signings.

1) Pellegrini hasn't signed although Stu Brennan reckons Thursday, one or two posters reckon the delay is because he is still contracted to Malaga. However it seems we have been in touch and he is fully involved with Cheeky over what is going on at the club. Other considerations on the delay is the Jose press conference and not wanting any other media attention when we make the announcement.

2) Navas - COMPLETED MOVE.

3) Fernandhino all done and dusted pictures and interview on main site.

4) Novaretti seems he is joining Lazio according to Lazio official twitter page so that looks as though it will happen.

5) Rami - new speculation in Express see thread if you want to get involved.

6) Isco - still nothing really new although suggestion is that Real have signed a similar type player who was on loan with them aged 21. Sometimes when things go quiet it is because we are in deep negotiation and I am hoping that if Pellegrini is announced this week Isco won't be too far behind. Latest betting trends for those interested suggest we are odds on.

7) Alcantara - nothing to update appears may stay in Spain with Barca and this could be true but while he has that ridiculously low buy out clause until the end of July it is out of Barcas hands if the player genuinely wants to move.

8) Cavani - this thread has put on quite a few pages no new speculation other than Real Madrid seem to want to get involved if so we all know this may be Cavanis destination. Speculation only as far as I am concerned but there is a possibility we may have a deal with his club Dzeko +25m + Kolorov.

9) Lewandowski - this has gathered pace one or two knowledgeable posters have suggested this may be an alternative or even in addition to Cavani. Seems Borrusia won't let him go to Bayern and this has alerted other clubs ourselves included who we might be able to do a straight swop deal involving Dzeko, then use the Tevez money to conclude the Cavani deal.

At last fact not fiction. Thanks

Marcotti said that City are "very, very close" to signing Isco. Marcotti is fairly reliable. It could still go tits up but it's looking likely IMO.

Madrid have signed the Brazilian playmaker from São Paulo, and already have Modric, Ozil, Kaka and Di Maria as attacking midfielders.

Isco has said he wants to play regularly to allow himself to develop, and that is something he would do under Pellegrini. He's also said "I wish" when asked about signing for us.

I think it's a go-er

Casemiro is more of a natural replacement for Xabi Alonso, defensive minded with a great eye for a pass. Doesn't affect their targeting of Isco IMO. Kaka and Di Maria also heavily linked with exits.
