On the contrary Tolmie, it's us that's doing the pushing here hence the air miles being clocked up by Marwood and Co.

Very very depressed to hear that. You just know these two timing back stabbing bastards won't do a deal. :-(

 

[NipHolmes]

I'm gonna log off now. My head is battered with all the conjecture and cross info. Can't make odds and ends of it all. Nout to do with posters, but the transfer game is a ball ache to follow and the posturing and bullshit throws you down many cold avenues.

 

[oakiecokie]

Breaking news, as I posted in Zlatan's thread. Ibra and Silva; €60m to PSG close to done deal. City were also interested, all this according to Gazzetta Dello Sport.

Well thank for that as I for one do/did not want to see Ibra at our Club !

 

[Dj1979]

Don't fancy some of these deals at all. I would rather keep all our strikers over ibra if only for financial reasons. Milan would quote us the sort of money psg were willing to pay for silva which was silly money imo. Ibra would be looking in access of 150 grand a week and a long contract so fuck that as well for somebody at 30 and never played in the prem in a couple of years time we would be stuck with him most likely on the bench and no chance of resale value and all that before we dip our hands in our pocket for a transfer fee. Martinez would be a prefered option with age and most likely slightly lower wages than the other 2 mentioned and can cover cb and would be a better option than Barry in midfield if not straight away then definately next year as Barry isn't the quickest and with another year in his legs won't be getting any quicker. If we are going to pay big for anybody i would check out Moura who seems more open to a transfer or neymar after barca have denied any deal is in place already for him, they at least will have a resale value and wih the few south Americans we have here I'm sure they will feel a little less far from home.

Hard to see the logic of Milan wanting to sell their two best players.

 

[LoveCity]

The fee being touted only works out as £47million for the two of them which would be less than Torres alone cost! Actually that would be a great deal for PSG although I can't see any way they could pass Financial Fair Play. I still reckon this isn't a certainty to happen though, Milan must be suicidal if they sanction this.

a) they are world players , they want win things , they want leave an unambicious club

b) acmilan want push down wages

Apparently that was a condition set by Ac Milan, both of them or no deal. They must really need the money (to buy Tevez to start with I hope!)

They've got plenty wrong in the past to be fair, Sneijder to us done deal last summer being one.

 

[Rammy Blue]

psg are just a smokescreen as they was a month ago.

acmilan want sell silva and ibra to us. becouse they know silva and ibra wont accept go to psg.

psg are interested to help acmilan to sell that two players to us becouse their target are kolo toure and tevez , that could accept to go there.

all this rumors about silva and ibra to psg so are just a traple to fish us.

i'like to get fished tough

Kolo? I thought it was Kolarov they were keen on?

Assuming you mean AK then if the deal was AK + Carlos + 20mil for Ibra and Thiago then I'd say it was a decent enough deal.

i think acmilan want ak and ed. meanwhile psg hope to get kt and ct.

With you fella, didn't read as you intended.

If we can unload those 4 players to PSG and Milan we'll have swam the channel with a cooker on our back.

I'd go with this thinking. RVP has never struck me as a 'Mancini target', whereas Ibrahimovic and Silva do. I think RVP is a Marwood type signing, and if I'm being honest, at the time, I thought the same for Nasri. Just my opinion.

As I see it, Thiago Silva and Ibra are the only two world class players left at Milan. I believe the situation is that if one of them goes, the other one will lose any faith they have left in the Milan project, so if one goes, the other is gone as well.

Having said that, there are different scenarios: one of PSG and City could get both, but it could end with PSG signing one of them and we sign the other one.

I think there's a lot of truth to this, a month ago Thiago Silva was only a signature away from becoming a PSG player, but for a Kaká-esque (and Pato-esque) last-minute "change of heart" from Milan.

i believe it was silva to refuse psg , not milan bottling it.. his dream is barca but they don't seem to have the money

 

[Rammyblues]

This is all hurting my head. Ibra to PSG even though Ibra doesn't want to go there, AC then have money to take Tevez and with some juggling of figures we return with Thiago Silva. I think I need a lie down in fact I might just stay away for a week or so till things calm down. :-)

I news went to newsnow to check, and there's tons of articles about Milan/Berlusconi rejecting/turning down the deal: <a class="postlink" href="http://www.newsnow.co.uk/h/?search=thiago+silva+psg&JavaScript=1&lang=en" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.newsnow.co.uk/h/?search=thia ... =1&lang=en</a>

Then, the most recent article from 4 days ago headlined: "Thiago Silva – I never thought about joining PSG" <a class="postlink" href="http://www.sambafoot.com/en/news/33127_thiago_silva_____i_never_thought_about_joining_psg.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.sambafoot.com/en/news/33127_ ... g_psg.html</a>?

Pretty funny actually.

Mancio, should we expect Barca starting to say "we'd love Thiago Silva" to the press, as they often do to make the player force his club to sell him?

 

[wahooblue]

Right, let's have a crack at this FM business.

Edin, Carlos + Kolarov for Ibra & Thiago Silva?

Would this mean Boyata as backup leftback to Clichy.

Zaba. Or we might sign a young left-back like Digne if Kolarov left.

If we actually got Thiago, Lescott would immediately become 3rd choice CB and cover for Clichy.

Which is why we won't sign him

Also, Lescott as cover for Clichy? *shudders*

 

[Jimfv1]

So,...at the moment it looks as though we may be in for Ibra & T. Silva from AC Milan for Kolarov and Dzeko.

PSG want Tevez and Kolo Toure.

Then we buy RVP to replace Tevez.

Next we would want Martinez and a winger, (maybe Rodriguez - who is argentinian but plays in Chile) ???

Is this where we're upto at the moment ??

Where is this Kolo to PSG coming from... City are in talks with Bursaspor over him and Bursaspor's coach said publicly today that they are at an advanced level. Of course Kolo could turn it down, Turkey isn't everyone's cup of tea!
