Done deal months ago? Yeah right.

Exactly - I don't know why some people do that. I assume it's in the vain hope of reflected glory should they happen to get one right.

I'd be quite happy to miss out on this lad, I just don't get the hype about him. I don't think he's an improvement on what we have anyway.

In fact, is there any hype about him ? Looks ordinary. Why don't we just buy an English defender from evertons youth academy now and save ourselves paying £50m in 2019 ?? Seems like we're buying for the sake of it rather than paying for talent because I'm yet to be convinced he has any

It's more likely the deal was on after the player had made the right noises making our execs confident enough to get City TV to prepare some kind of welcome (as alluded to by Ric yesterday) and at the 24th hour the player had a change of heart for whatever reason. It's not unheard of and its something you have to factor in when you're dealing with people, not objects.

Personally i would prefer to go into the season with otty komps mangala and denayer to see what pep can make of them.
Spend the money on two new fullbacks.
