It's Quiet - a new dawn

Bonucci showing, again, that he's one of the best.

Dortmund's Dembele just made a great run & cross for Dortmund goal. Are we linked with this guy at all?

If we're looking for a winger this could be the guy.

I don't think we tried for him last year when we had the chance. He is pretty good.

We gave dortmound free run for dembele by signing gundogen

I will be surprised if one of us or Chelsea don't go in for him this summer.

By the looks of what happened last summer I think he came quite close to leaving Juve for City.

Maybe he will look for a change.

If Juve win the CL he may feel he's achieved as much as he can there and it's time for a new experience.

Not sure why he has so many detractors here. He's widely regarded as one of the best CB in the world and is a perfect Pep player.

I'd personally prefer Laporte for age, language and potential but Bonucci would be a big get. Heard anything, @tolmie's hairdoo ?

If Juve win the CL he may feel he's achieved as much as he can there and it's time for a new experience.

Don't think he needs that to happen to feel that way, for the following reasons:
1. He was seriously considering moving to City last season anyway, until his son got sick.
2. His, very public, row with Allegri left a sour taste and it would be hard to imagine both stay.
3. Juve are shopping around for a successor to both him and Chiellini and have one already in Rugani. There's also Barzagli, who is still immense. Basically, Juventus are stacked in defence.
4. This may be Juve's last chance to cash in on him.

Think Juventus could win it, though Real would still be favorites, but if City make another run on Bonucci I think things could be different this time round.

Woukd be interesting how Bonucci would cope with no one in front of him he gets protected by at least 4 hard working defenders in front of him

there is a facebook page called MCFCjustsayin and the guy that runs that seems to get get really good info and he posted this last night:

***TIMPERS UPDATE***

Ok, so I promised you a transfer version of one of these so here it is....

First of all I'd just like to tell you that no matter what you've heard or read in the press, there hasn't been any deals completed behind closed doors whatsoever for anyone, so nothing is 'done' or 'completed' yet!

...
I've been told that there's gonna be about 5, maybe 6, first team signings coming in, but as many as 13 going out permanently, apparently it will definitely be double figures! There maybe more incomings but they will be similar to last summer's Enes Unal and Oleks Zinchenko signings - young players for the future!

With regards to names - we're definitely in for Alexis Sanchez, William Carvalho and Ederson (GK) - whether they come is a different matter. We're also apparently interested in Danny Rose, Ben Gibson, Jordan Pickford, Benjamin Mendy, Leonardo Bonucci (again) and Aymeric Laporte (again)! That's all I know on the incoming side of things.

Outgoings - apparently all of the out of contract players will be leaving barring a last minute change of heart (which is very unlikely), so that's Willy Caballero, Pablo Zabaleta, Gael Clichy, Bacary Sagna, Yaya Toure, Jesus Navas and Tosin Adarabioyo. I'm told Nolito will leave permanently as will the likes of Wilfried Bony, Samir Nasri and Elia Mangala. I'm still being told that Kelechi Iheanacho is going out on loan, but I was told that in January as you lot know!

Now for Mr Joe Hart! As you know I'm close to good friends of Joe's and I've spoken to them about his situation. Even though he'd love to come back and give it another crack, unfortunately he knows he's definitely leaving permanently this summer! Straight away that rules out staying at Torino coz they can't afford a permanent deal. His representatives spoke to Chelsea last week and nothing came of it....for now! Apparently he's not interested in Liverpool and Liverpool aren't interested in him, however, when asked about going to Utd, apparently his words were 'you never know in football' and he wouldn't rule it out! Obviously Utd wouldn't be his preferred choice coz he still loves City but he also realises that this move is a huge one and he needs to be playing at the very top level. If Utd were the best option on the table then he would have to take it!

And finally I will leave you with a bit of good news - Gabriel Jesus is almost fully fit and should make at least a substitute appearance in a game before the end of April, although this weekend's Semi-Final might just be a bit too soon!

Hope that update was suffice for a bit, even though there's nothing really concrete happening at the minute!

has been spot on in the past with his info so thought I would pass it on. interesting that he doesn't mention mbappe at all?

Ye I seen that in the early hours. Joe Hart to the rags hahahahahahaha. He does get some info correct and he also gets some wrong and when questioned he gets very angry haha

 

[Otamendi's Beard]

Apparently Neymar was in tears after last nights game and people are linking it to the fact he's moving away.

Probably bollocks, but to cry after a quarter final in which you never looked like turning around seems strange.

Hopefully it would be to us and not a rival. Him linking up with Gabriel Jesus would be genius.
