We'll talk personal terms with his agent and make sure he wants to come here before bidding. His agent being allowed to talk to City should be encouragement enough for now, it surely means Roma have granted permission so would accept the right offer. I think it might all come down to the players wishes/demands.

How do we know his agent was over to talk about him?...he represents kolarov as well.

In my opinion, I don't think we are trying to shift Kolarov out. I know he is a wanted man, but we have 60+ games coming up and basically have Clichy for that spot. Unless we are going to put Rodwell there I don't see us getting rid of our backup left back.

€40m = £31m, and Agger for £25m would be a shocking move. Also, you seriously think Mourinho would let Khedira go for £15m?!

It all depends on what happens at RM from now till January . If Khedira finds himself lower in the MF pecking order come January he would definitely want to seek play time elsewhere . We can always do a "barca" on them by pulling the strings behind the scene and urging the player and his agent to force an exit (Its time we play dirty too) But seriously if we can't get him for 15 then at least we could get Dembele who's also better than NDJ ,RM are also interested in him so its going to be a 2way road , RM gets to keep Modric and Khedira and we get Dembele or RM takes Modric and Dembele and we take Khedira . They can't guarantee Khedira , Dembele , Lassana , Modric , Alonso play time and some players woul definitely want to leave . BACK to the DDR topic i STILL think the price tag even at £31m is a rip off.

dembele better than de jong ????

Because reports from England and Italy both said it was related to DDR? I mean if they heard his agent was heading to England, it's feasible they were also privvy as to the reason why. And why would he need to talk to City if it was about Kolarov? If he is moving, personal terms would be discussed with his destination club, City would talk directly with the destination club over a transfer fee surely?

£15million for Khedira, you must be joking. You'd have to near enough double that, he is one of the best young-ish midfielders in Europe and played over 40 games for Real last season.

With Modric coming in the competition would get higher and i see Modric edging out Khedira . Khedira is more suited for the PL (strength and work rate) while Modric is more technical and fits the Spanish football style better.

Even if Modric does edge out Khedira which isn't a given at all (who says he won't play Modric further up the field in rotation with Ozil for example?) that doesn't mean we could go and sign Khedira for only £15million right now even if he was available (which I highly doubt he is). Do you think they'd sell us Higuain for £15million because he isn't their first choice up front?

Put a gun on my head and i would tell you the same thing again ! I've been watching both of them play and LUCKILY for me i had the chance to watch both of them play again some days ago in the Belgium V Netherlands match . Dembele totally Owned Dejong PLUS Dejong gifted a goal to a belgian player Marteens . NDJ was a mess in the game we played on Sunday and that's not the first time . I'll say sell him to inter and bring in someone who brings more to the team , I'll even take Lassana over him .

What a complete load of bollocks. DeJong was superb on Sunday.

Back on topic please!

25 million for Agger. Simply ridiculous.

He has done nothing in the Premier League to justify that price tag.

It would show pure desperation from us if we paid that for a CB. He does not want to come to us anyway, it has been made clear.
