Manchester City will not be following up their interest in Israel international Nir Biton.
The Blues played the 20-year-old midfielder against Arsenal in the tour match in Beijing. He also spent time at Carrington last season. City were interested in taking Biton on loan but work permit regulations don’t allow for loans and City were not convinced of the 6ft 5in player.
The Blues have also put the future of striker John Guidetti on hold until he recovers from a nervous problem which caused him to lose sensation in his right leg. Guidetti is not expected to be fit until the end of October at the earliest
City insist they have not made another bid for Italy star Daniele de Rossi, despite claims they have lodged a £33m offer with his club Roma, while another summer target, Javi Martinez, has joined Bayern Munich for £31m.

Sad news . Nir Biton looked like a future Fellaini , His towering height in the Midfield would definitely be an advantage when he becomes an experienced player . On the bright side i am happy we didn't get Martinez , He was all HYPE just like M'vila . I think we are good they way we are BUT if we can get DDR for a REASONABLE amount then we would be even better if not then lets snap up Drenthe for free. He is above average and he has that spark of creativity , He could fit well in our midfield PLUS he would be coming for free.

Tuttomercato says our starting base is €30million and that Roma will demand €40million so that a fee is attainable.

40million for a 29year old ? Let them keep him. Lets offer LFC 25Million out of that amount for Agger and then use 15Million to get someone like Khedira as soon as RM finalizes the Modric deal . Why should we pay 40M for a 29yr old ? Even Messi wouldn't worth that much when he is 29/30. WTF!
