He’s my dream signing and has been for the last 12 months, as I’ve posted many a time. Get him and I don’t give a rat’s about anywhere else.

To be clear, when you say “done” do you mean we’ve agreed a contract with the agent, we’ve agreed a fee with the club, or both?
Yeah this needs answering, because agreeing with an agent and/or a player means fuck all if they've not got the club to agree. Plus, there's no way anything can be signed yet can it? We were 'done' with Jorginho and look what happened there. It ain't done until its done..

no they are the same.
AM: Aouar is done.
DM: Camavinga
CB: Bastoni
If we don’t bag Camavinga, do we have an alternative?
Plus, Tolmie says Havertz is possible but I’d assume that’s a Sane replacement.
you’ve been great so far mate. You’ve definitely got something insider related.

But what about Almeda, Nouri, and Traore, because you said they were done aswell as Aouar., , and now Carnavinga, and Bastoni, will there be enough coat hangers for our squad -)no they are the same.

it does. But the importance of a left footers at CB is undeniable for Pep. it's only a small advantage, but it's undeniable, especially when we are playing against high level opposition.The way I see it, if we signed Koulibaly for £70m, we'd be paying £50m for three world class seasons at his peak, maybe even four, and then another £20m for a couple more years for an excellent senior squad player to ease out and pass the baton over to a younger player. When you break it down like that, it makes a lot of sense.
One Injury to Laporte & We are back again with the footedness imbalance again.
Koulibaly needs to have a near flawless first season.
All agreed from Man City & The Players side.To be clear, when you say “done” do you mean we’ve agreed a contract with the agent, we’ve agreed a fee with the club, or both?
(In the same sense as Leroy & Bayern)
just remains to make it official with both clubs & then make it official with the player.

Nope. if no Camavinga, well survive with Rodri & Aouar double pivot.
Havertz is a False 9 Profile. But Mohamed Ihattaren has the exact profile we are looking for.
Ihattaren is a better fit for us then Havertz.

That’s Castles and Alvarez, both very reliable when it comes to city transfers, saying that we’re in for him. Would love for Pep to have all the tools he needs for his final season and a two footed, ball playing centre half in their prime is certainly a good tool to have. Just hope all the pieces fall into place.
Well. The owner said that Camavinga is going nowhere? Who is gonna pay the 100m they expect for him?no they are the same.
AM: Aouar is done.
DM: Camavinga
CB: Bastoni
Bastoni is left-footed like Laporte. I thought we needed a right footed counterpart to Laporte. Beside that - Bastoni is going to be a starter at Inter next season since Godin might leave for Lyon or go back to Madrid.
@Ezzy - you’re getting me excited. What percentage would you put in Koulibaly being at City next season.
Same question for Camavinga (who has been spot on for me on my Eintracht Frankfurt career on FIFA).
When should I get myself to the Barton Aerodrome?
100% chance they play for Manchester City Next season:
Houssem Aouar
Thiago Almada
Rayan Ait Nouri
Amad Traoré
Mohamed Ihattaren
Édouardo Camavinga
Alessandro Bastoni
Inter Milan do not want to sell Bastoni, but they have a replacement for him in their highly rated academy Left Centre-Back (18), rated as a Bastoni level talent.
Bastoni is on our shortlist, so that means he has no problem leaving Italy.
we're just playing the public game by having Koulibaly as the top choice. Bastoni will cost the same or less then Koulibaly & bieng younger will have lower wages.
Oh and also Bastoni is Left Footed, which is essential to our build up play & would allow Laporte to play the Centre of a Back 3.
Koulibaly : 0% chance of Man City signing him.
he will go to PSG

geniune question, what’s the hold up with players such as Almada and the french LB?
also, no Bastoni can you Upamacano or Dias coming or even Pau Torres?

I really do admire your confidence. With all due respect, how do you know this? You joined the forum a couple of months ago. Why are you putting these posts on here? And if you know so much, how on earth are you not getting absolutely bollocked for it?
Besides Bastoni, haven't heard any other names.geniune question, what’s the hold up with players such as Almada and the french LB?

Media scrutiny mostly. With the Pandemic and everything etc.. Anything we announce, someone somewhere is going to find a reason to criticize us for it or something.
We also never really have 2 primary targets for the same position.
But in return we make sure that we have every chance to get the player before we make them our primary target.

Well there we go, "100%" is definitive. All those players sign or someone can ban this chancer and we don't have to sit through dozens of pages of people treating him like he's Txiki Begiristan's favourite nephew.

What’s your beef and why should he be banned ?
no different to ezzy and tolmie apart from one posts YouTube videos!

Hehe it's through my work that I do, only recently I got to know these connections/sources.
I've been a lurker on the forum for a while. & When I got my info, I wanted to discuss it and this was a good place to.
It's a Fanatic Forum where people share their wishful transfer targets all the time. and as they say a broken clock is right twice a day.
so you'd be hard to hard press to find anyone with official ties to Man City(Or a Major Company or something) browsing here looking for "someone leaking info"
same as on Twitter.
- The numbers of "blue Tick" ITK's is massive.

I still find the French Lb “100% claim” unusual mate considering thst he’s just signed a new deal with Angers literally weeks ago. It doesn’t make any sense whatsoever, unless you heard about him before the new extension.
Assuming then, Almada and our current options will replace Sane on the left etc?
any outgoings like Zinchenko etc?
What’s your beef and why should he be banned ?

There's a massive difference between someone saying they think they've heard something (whether that's a player being targeted, and agreement or someone flying over to sign), with a multi-year track record for good & bad - and then someone showing up out of nowhere and declaring we are 100% definitively going to sign these exact 7 players.

In short - he doesn’t.
Manchester City football club has spent the last however many years becoming a ghost town for information leaks and top of that list is information regarding transfers, not even the highest in the know people closest to the club have much clue these days as to where city are looking to strengthen regarding transfers so do you honestly think they’re going to give ‘Ezzy’ our full list of transfer targets so he can go and post them on Bluemoon forum? Come on people wake up for god sake.
it’ll be a child living in his football manager fantasy land bored out of his mind cause he’s not been in school for months due to covid.
He has no info just complete guess work - end of discussion.
