Why the long faces? He's a good player.
If I had to choose among the rarefied rumours I heard these days, I'd prefer we sign him rather than seeing Pogba come back. I think we'll get neither of them though.
If it's because he's linked to you each transfer window, well, there are worse things.
Each summer (and this one makes no exception) we get linked to... Darmian. Brrr.
Because we have De Bruyne, Gundogan, Bernardo and (for one more season) our best ever player Silva in that position. Not to mention Phil Foden who's supposed to be the heir to Silva's throne, the future of our midfield, the guy who'll be our Lampard and start every game for us for the next fifteen years. Whether he'll be good enough has already been answered. Signing Isco would destroy his development.
I see, you really seem to be stacked for that position. Well, they should leave him to us then ;)
But you have the worldbeater Aaron Ramsey?
Real need to sell players. They’ve just spent €300m+ ffs but they earned this money so it’s ok.
Worth a gamble at around £40m I would say.
If this was the summer he joined, now that the fans don't even want him anymore and the team certainly doesn't need him, that would be the most typical City thing ever.
27 years old, huge wages, wildly inconsistent, in terrible form for ages, in a position where we're already stacked.
If I was Pep I'd eat my own hand before insulting the academy by pushing Foden down the pecking order for this Madrid reject.

Only way I'd want him is if we went the old Italian approach, and took him on loan with Real paying half his wagesReal need to sell players. They’ve just spent €300m+ ffs but they earned this money so it’s ok.
