Ok, and why is it a big deal if they tell Romano?

Sorry to interject but my guess is it’s annoying if someone has genuine insider info that’s passed on to people for free and then someone else makes money from it and claims it as their own.
 
Seems unthinkable that the club would actually weaken the squad, in terms of depth, ahead of this season, with the World Cup and five subs rule. Long way to go yet in this window though, so no need to panic. Am sure there will be a plan in place if we were to sell Jesus, Sterling, Ake and Zinchenko, but it's by no means a given that they'll all leave.

Exactly! Replacement for the greedy want away Peter Sutcliffe lookalike.

I know he is an opposition player but to compare him to Sutcliffe is poor taste to say the least.

Also I’m happy he is wanting to bleed the red scousers, should be happy with that. Why are you getting upset he wants to adversely affect the finances of the American tossers who like to show a tidy profit in their accounts! His demands are already upsetting the apple cart at red scouse and is why Sadio left for greener financial pastures.
 
I don't particularly mind players leaving but I just don't understand the logic in going into this season with an even smaller squad than last season. letting go of zinchenko, getting cucurella, so again another season with 3 fit fullbacks (let's not forget how much that hurt us last season in the CL). letting go of ake, so going from 4 centerbacks to three (did people forget we had to play fernandinho CB for quite a few games the end of last season - getting rid of one now means that if the same situation happens this season, say hello to the center half partnership that is Phillips-Mbete). upgrade in the back-up CDM department in phillips, but still 1 to 1 replacement. Getting rid of 2 forwards (sterling & jesus) and replacing them with 2 forwards (haaland and alvarez), getting rid of steffen for ortega

Which means that ultimately the bare-bones squad that ended last season is now exactly 1 player smaller. how on earth does that happen

Better act fast for Gnabry if we do like him as Liverpool have just been linked to him.

FFS! Raz seems defo to be going so lets be proactive and get Gnabry in! Jesus barring the announcement is gone and far too much noise around Sterling that he wont be here for pre season anyway?

From the outside it’s looking like they’re been a bit too relaxed with this “you can leave if you want to and we get a worthwhile offer” policy.. the squad isn’t exactly huge at the moment as it is
 
Not too fussed about Ake leaving as while he looked good last season, his injury record was terrible and he wasn’t available when we needed him most. For whatever reason, if he were to leave, you would have say that it never really happened for him at City.

We would need to replace him though given how often Stones is injured.

What about Tarkowski at Burnley? Not a world beater admittedly but a decent player and on a free. Think we could do worse if we want to spend big elsewhere.

Because if you pm somebody instead of just posing on the site, you are telling them privately in confidence. If somebody breaks that trust, it's a big deal. If he wants everyone to have the information he'd just post it in the forum.
