To be fair, this Danilo was originally a central midfielder as well, but I don't recall him playing much there at PortoIs this a joke?
In case it's not, the Danilo we're signing is Brazilian, plays RB for Real Madrid. The Danilo you're thinking of, Danilo Pereira plays for Porto in midfield.
And Fabinho has played about 1 1/2 seasons in midfield.

And exactly how does signing a right back mean we won't sign our main left back target. If it's to do with the home grown quota I'm sure there will be many players we'd give the boot two before giving up on mendy because of the quota.
Yeah home grown quota pal. See above. Who would go? Someone put a list up yesterday and I might be wrong but thought there were only two spots left?
Ok no Sanchez then? I was under the impression we could only fit 2 more foreigners?
I'm not into foreign business stuff :D
Bookies are wrong all the time but we're now 1/5 to get him. (Also out to 3/1 on Sanchez)
Make that 1/6

I don't know how these things really work but I'd imagine he'd take the spot we were going to give to Alves.

Did someone not say that Di Marzio had been off on his information this transfer period? Or am I mistaken?

They play different positions and would need replacing and that would mean homegrown replacements. We would therefore need Bertrand if Kolorov went so that's possible but if Ota went I don't see a homegrown replacement at centre half we would be interested in.

He wasn't originally, he played there occasionally in Brazil.

Id hazard a guess he replaces the mystery CB we were due to sign.So no Mendy (if true).
Edit; I thought city and Real Madrid agreed some sort of transfer truce, anyone any ideas?
Wow if true it is out of the blue.
Sam Lee was actually tweeting about us looking at Danilo way back at the beginning of June or late May before Dani Alves was linked to us properly.
I wouldn't be surprised if the reason this has gone so quick is because we'd already sounded out the idea back then, and simply had to sort out the Madrid side of things.
I don't know how these things really work but I'd imagine he'd take the spot we were going to give to Alves.
Since we will sell Fernando for sure, Danilo is going to fill that spot. And I think that will leave One foreign Spot vacant.
I can't speak to how often he played there in Brazil but I remember both him and Alex Sandro were signed as midfielders, then converted into arguably the best fullback combination on EuropeHe wasn't originally, he played there occasionally in Brazil.
Edit, based on my memory at least, so quite possibly wrong ;)

Turned 26 last week.
Was exceptional, the most sought after right back in the World two years ago when Madrid signed him for £30 million before the window opened!
Better than Sagna or Zaba so yet further improvement!
