How very true mate.

I can only see EFC wanting Bony if Lukaku goes. As far as I know no one has expressed an interest in Lukaku.

Tbh I'd be surprised if clubs haven't talked to Everton about him but my guess would be the asking price would be huge, especially for an English club.

As for Stones I wasn't huge on it when the rumors were emerging during the season but really watching his play style I'm very confident Pep could make a fine player out of him.

Nowhere near good enough last season but there's no point in having Guardiola if we don't trust his ability to create better players.

So today should be the day, going off what IanBishop said yesterday?

Not that I'm going to lynch him if he's wrong.

Might be a bit too soon got Sane I'd wager. Isn't he still on holiday?

Maybe but it doesn't really seem like a City thing to do, I'd imagine we'll try to get Stones done first as he's at least in the local vicinity.

Sounds imminent

Soon ?

I'm actually quite calm, even pleased about this potential signing, wheras a year ago I would have been fucking mortified at the prospect of him at cb.

The reason isn't anything Stones has done in the meantime, he just confirmed what I thought then. There-s another reason I've changed my mind.. It's the same reason I'm not worried if Yaya Toure stays, or Bony stays.

Pellegrini is gone & we have Pep Guardiola. Fucking get in!

(Not sure this stretches to Kolarov tbf)

Interesting

 

[Hungarian blue]

Incoming

Nothing I've heard suggests it will be done today.

I will be interested to see if Pep risks playing Bony tonight though...

 

[Kompany is King]

I think Barnsley v Everton friendly is tonight.

Saturday I think mate

 

[TRUE BLUE NO1]

was hoping he'd be on the plane with the squad....hope this is done soon so he can fly out to join them. World class potential but still a young lad that is going to need time/reps in Pep's system, to make sure he's ready for the season...
