Since when is our defence only Otamendi and Stones?Otamendi and Stones wooohoooo

They shouldn’t be near our team the way they defend. Not 3rd, 4th or even 8th choice. Garcia wants out and if Aké or Laporte get an injury, we’re right back to square one

If it’s not happening today then I think this is off. Both teams need to start planning for their squad. The league starts very soon and both us and Napoli have other business.
If it’s only about 10m in difference they should be able to find an agreement. Rumour says we offer 70m plus bonuses and Napoli wants 80.
We need to be a bit realistic. ADL turned down 110m only a year ago from United. It’s not realistic to believe he would drop down to 65m. I think 75m will be the sweetspot and honestly not horrible. 75m is the release clause of Diego Carlos and he is shit. Plus Stones and Otamendi will be sold, so we’ll get about 35m for them, maybe 40. I honestly can’t understand why this is so hard.
It’s hard to comment when you are not involved in the negotiations but ADL does have a reputation for moving the goalposts and moving the price during negotiations. We need the player but equally we shouldn’t and won’t be taken for a ride. In an ideal world I wouldn’t go near Napoli.
You need a buying team(s) who actually want Stones and Otamendi, who actually have the money to pay during a period of uncertainty on and off the pitch, who actually can afford the wages and who Stones and Otamendi actually want to play for. Very easy that one pal, good luck with finding those clubs.If it’s not happening today then I think this is off. Both teams need to start planning for their squad.

come on City, we haven’t got time for childish games. If you don’t want to do businesses with Napoli then focus on another target.
And you believe anything that comes out of this toxic pricks mouth... why??

Yeah I know he’s a bit of a prick. Of course not, me neither. But it would be a painful ten long month in the league if we fail this. I doubt Diego Carlos or Dias would be much of an improvement, Garcia is dreaming of another club and Stones and Otamendi wants to stick around.
We’ll see what happens. It’s clear to me that Pep specifically asked for Koulibaly.

That’s kind of my point. This transfer is taking a lot of time and we’re getting less time finding Otamendi and Stones a new home.

Painful 10 months, don't be daft, we are already better off than last year and that was hardly painfulYeah I know he’s a bit of a prick. Of course not, me neither.

We lost 9 games mate. How is that not painful?
With the squad we have, we should do a lot better and many goals we conceded was due to having central defenders not capable of sniffing out danger in time.
Nobody wants them, nobody. Certainly not at the valuations you seem to think we'll get for them, more chance of Andy Morrison wearing skinny jeans.That’s kind of my point. This transfer is taking a lot of time and we’re getting less time finding Otamendi and Stones a new home.

I very much doubt this particular poster was following us in the 80’s 90’s and 00’s. He would never have coped if it was deals for the likes of Craig Russell and Alan fucking Kernaghan we were trying to get over the lineGive it a rest with the dramatics, it's a game of football. A catastrophe hahaha!!!!!
Half the season we had Laporte missing through injury, he's back and we have brought in Ake.We lost 9 games mate. How is that not painful?

In those 9 defeats, which goals specifically are you talking about as being purely CB's to blame?

Stop saying the same fucking thing. I’m fucking senile and even I can remember your thoughts on this issue. Fucking hellYeah I know he’s a bit of a prick. Of course not, me neither.

How the fuck could I remember? I’ve seen enough of Stones and Otamendi to realize they don’t have a chance of staying here. They lack quality. How can you even have missed this? It’s remarkable.
The fact that I even have to point out this to a cityfan who I assume watch a majority of games is mind-boggling.
