move on. sign walker for pl and heinrichs for future. alves is not alexis sanchez or neymar at the end of he is 34 year old full back.

 

[dario2739]

If he had landed at Manchester, he'd probably have got straight back on the plane looking at the weather right now!!!

I'm not worried about this.

I still think he's coming here, but won't lose any sleep if the PSG rumour turns out to be true.

Great player, but only has 1 or 2 seasons left in him.

The main worry would be not signing any fullbacks before we go on tour, they need to bed in.

The guy goes to Paris on his honeymoon, a common destination for the wealthy and that means he's signed for PSG? Jesus, some people need to get a grip. He may be a footballer but he's still a guy on his honeymoon, he will not be thinking about work during that time.

I mean who the fuck goes on honeymoon to Paris of all places?

So you are saying that Alves is coming to City.

That's not at all what he said. I'm pretty sure, as is obvious, he'd agree that being on his honeymoon in Paris is in no way proof that he's not coming to City.

 

[Blue Hefner]

"all indications". You mean shit you read on twitter. If it was done, he'd be our player, simple as that. If you seriously think the only reason he hadn't signed a contract is because no one gave him one to sign, then I don't know what to tell you.

I agree

If everything had been agreed they'd have signed it over email/Echo-sign and that would have been it

The contract isn't on Tikix's desk next to his 'to-do' list

That said, not to sign a 34yr old on free transfer, if the interest was as genuine as has been made out, is pretty disappointing

Now Levy is smiling...

So you are saying that Alves is coming to City.

No I'm not saying that. You know I'm not saying that, because I didn't write that or anything close to that.

My opinion is the same as it was yesterday and last week - he's probably going to come to City given he's agreed verbally. If he doesn't then we've missed out on a 34 year old fullback free transfer who was going to play 15 games a season. The idea this somehow plays into Levy's hands is thoughtless bollocks. Like there's only two FBs in the entire world.

I couldn't personally care less either way if he comes. We don't need him for footballing reasons and never have done.

Parisunited?

Srsly?

 

[BigOscar]

Some on here seem a little too emotionally invested in a 34 year old being signed on a free transfer to be our backup RB for a year. If we get him, good I guess, if not, we'll just sign someone else. We're not talking about a hugely significant player here, we're talking about Bacary Sagna's replacement

 

[mattyb]

He will be playing for City this season. I firmly believe that

 

[Andouble]

not too worried on missing out on the actual player but it would cost us dear in the market.

 

[Three_Hat-tricks]

Perhaps l'equipe got wind of Alves and his wife visiting Paris during their honeymoon and ran the wrong way with it?

 

[Homar]

At this rate we'll be paying a world record fee for Kyle Walker...

 

[Edwaardz]

He will be playing City this season. I firmly believe that

Against?

 

[Heisenberg's Blue Sky]

Man just got married, might he and the missus wanna go and visit what is supposed to be the most romantic place in the world, the city of love before heading to God's Own City? It's not outside the realms of possibility. But no let's fuck off reason, call him a cnut and flap flap flap... Some on ere might wanna get the Samaritans hotline number handy in case he does sign for PSG!

 

[andyhinch]

And some on here wondered how Pep would fit Stirling into the side ;-)

 

[mattyb]

Against?

Edited :-)

 

[bluefire1]

Not too fussed with this one,we need to target younger fullbacks anyway.Cedric of Southampton would be a solid buy and easy deal,and then we can see what if Levy lowers his demands for Walker.
