This transfer stinks to high heavens of hype generator through interactions and mass hysteria. Basically another name thrown in the pot so that the mediocre serial bottlers can still say they are a somewhat big club. Over and over and over again City have chosen extremely wisely in their targets, spent low ammounts, obtained immense performance for every million spent. Alvarez, Akanji, Halaand totalling less than 100 million in investment should clarify just how incredible our recruitment is.
Personally my indiference starts at the fact that if the player and his team have known of our interest, which seems there appears to be some, and hasn't chosen to join us then the correct decision is to again invest smartly and not employ someone who clearly thinks that Arteta is a good manager.
If he comes, good addition, if not, we have bigger fish to fry here. Let's not forget, we also spent close to 50 million on a relegation fodder midfield player, and he warmed the bench, despite his European win, he, in my eyes, remains a lower bracket team's midfielder.
