City will say nothing until it's done, signed sealed delivered. We have been a pen-stroke away, it went tits up. Cue " City rejected" headlines. Players are subject to human emotions, their reasoning affected by influences which we have no inkling of, just guesses. Agents do not have the last word, despite the clamour on social platforms. Fan's speculation is inevitable, keeps forums simmering and affects the outcome not one bit. C'est la vie. que sera, sera, an' all that.
My take is that the lad is being lumped in as a "traditional" c/f, all hustle and bustle etc. when in fact he is far more than just that. His record of rarely missing chances, of being ice cool in and around the box, is enough for me to hope he signs for City, but if he doesn't, we carry on.
