Fabian Delph

I for one, am happy he's "changed his mind" after seeing his dismal performance in the FA Cup final, against a decent team, he bottled it every time he got anywhere promising, God knows what we saw in him

You have to admire their alacrity at crawling out from under their rocks at such short notice.

How reliable is Hunter, does he have his finger on the pulse and sources at City? he obviously works for Sky so is considered respectable..

much admired by some of the caledonians on this board

It's quite the opposite of bottling it, he's chose to captain and star in a team he recently signed a new contract with in the year leading into the Euros.

Rather than come to City in a squad player role.

Yet he had a release clause put in his new contract.

Respect to the lad.
He's obviously true to Villa which is a rarity nowadays.

Absolutely correct. Good luck to him.

And for those who think our interest is an invention, according to my neighbour who works for Villa, yes we did invoke the buyout clause to talk to him, but after thinking about it for a day he said no.

As a 'confirmed flapper' this will get a bit of stick: But the blind optimism of some on here is just as bad as the pessimism I'm sometimes guilty of.

Serious question to the optimistic, here:

The portent of this signing going to shit is foreboding and ominous. How are your alarm bells not ringing that the summer is going the way of 2012?

Because it's still early days, and I'd rather judge the success of our transfer policy when the window is closed, not before we've bought anyone.

Do you actually believe we'll win the "premiership" with the current squad

Do you actually believe we won't sign anyone?

This current squad, plus Pogba, Sterling and De Bruyne will win the league.

 

[blue_sonic176]

Erm. This is awkward.

Any details on what transpired?

 

[EL APACHE TEVEZ]

Who as actually said we were signing him ????

 

[@BluePhil8]

Because it's only the 11th of July?

Easiest deal of the 4 collapsing, City playing silly buggers with Liverpool over £5m, City playing silly buggers with Juve, De Bruyne fuck knows what's happening. Yeah, it looks fucking peachy at present don't it?
