nick.nikky said:City has during Elano talks made numerous inquiries (sp?) about a number of players and been given a green light to test the waters. As a result, a series of bids has been made on Cambiasso, Maicon, Stankovic, Ibrahimovic, Materazzi, Cruz and Maxwell in the 100M+ range with Elano going the other way. There's no specifics about the exact numbers but according to my source they're big enough individually not to turn anything down without giving it some serious thought in each specific case as they're all above market value and open ended.
At Inter Mourinho is aiming for a 20-23 squad with Materazzi, Rivas, Stankovic, Cruz, Maxwell, Quaresma, Vieira, Suazo and Mancini considered surplus; so at least 4 of the mentioned 7 seems very likely to happen (Stankovic, Materazzi, Cruz and Maxwell) with an outside shot on the others depending on what the deal is and how the transfer market develops. We're currently investigating the services of: Cassano, Etoo, Melo, Hernanes and Sneijder - with Deco, Carvahlo, Elano and Arnautovic as good as done and Motta and Milito already landed (Hernanes and Melo actually makes sense now with the outside chance of Cambiasso leaving).
The actual quote:
"haha u w rght u lucky bstrd! :) spk lst week on elano, wntd more. they [Branca & Oriali] dnt expct anything ccrete b they dlvrd IN STYLE. dnk yet w t offers are b ******** sd they w all above mv. fin offer but opn ended u decide n tot at least 100 mil! ibra, maicon, cuchu, cruz, max, matrix, dejan n on hold, unwantd look lkly b other n imposs. much much to think about hehe. fin word on friday, will know m aftr xxxx xxxxx xxxx xxxx xxxxx. *rbs hands* take care/xxxxxxxx"
My proof will be when the papers get a wiff of the story after you read it here first, so I wont bother promoting it before then ("Go ahead punks, list me").
