David Silva [Merged]

25 million for Lescott was also a joke. Bridge is a dud aswell imo.

Maybe we could talk Valencia into taking on Hughes as manager... then we could give them RSC and get Silva and £6 million back

Dunno, if Lescott can stay fit, he shows the signs of being England's #1 centre-back, IMO. We had a brief defensive renaissance when Lescott and Kompany were paired together.

Guardian saying after a day of negotiations we are more optimistic of getting him and Mirror saying he's agreed a deal but just say according to sources which will be the reports in Spain

Fuck me... it's even on Sky now... I never thought this would happen!

19.26 According to reports in Spain, Valencia winger David Silva has agreed terms on a five-year contract with Manchester City. The two clubs are now discussing a fee, with City either paying £20.7million and sending Roque Santa Cruz to Valencia, or £26.4million if the Paraguayan striker doesn't want to move.

6m for RSC is the reason Mark Hughes will never manage another top club.

Its a fucking scandal

fergie paid 28 for veron, 17 for anderson. they all do it at one time or another.

Lescott was over-priced but is actually a good player, Bridge is appalling, and I was a Bridge defender when he first came.

Harsh, Bridge gives us a lot of balance down the left hand side, which is very noticeable when he doesn't play. Bridge will be a very good squad player for us over the coming years.

Agree on Lescott though, think he formed a very good partnership with Vincent. Although only worth around £15m not £22m.
