I don't see him ending up with us, honestly. I love the fact that City are apparently really pressing for it but I'd be stunned if he started agitating for a move away from Juve.

Yeah I kind of fear the same, Juve are damn hard to do deals with as they rarely sell their best players and they certainly make you work for it.

So....we are being played by Bonucci, Sane is shit and our bids for Peres are embarrassing whilst the rags are busy showing us how its done with Pogba yes?

Thats how I've rad your input today?

Who is turning it personal , I also find it strange whenever we are linked with a foreign player we suddenly have numerous experts who have followed that player for his whole career , get real and honest .
Picked apart really , groundless really like I say you have a different opinion .you can continue to watch him for a top four team as he is not coming .
Now I suggest would be a good time to book next seasons flights whilst good discounts exist .shame the eur is low it may impact on how many times you can get over

You are turning personal by suggesting I am posting about Bonucci having never seen him when you know Fuck All about me and my football watching habits.

Its Bonucci. Not some foreign player that nobody has heard of. He is in many people's opinion the best CB in the world right now. The fact that you think folks on here haven't seen him play over the past 9 years says more about you than us.

Your argument is that we shouldn't buy him because we already have too many old players like Zabs and Kolarov. That is one of the stupidest things I have read on here in quite some time. Why? BECAUSE ZABS AND KOLAROV AREN'T GOING TO BE HERE IN SEPTEMBER. WTF is wrong with you?

Have I got this right?

We buy Bonucci and Juve can afford to keep Pogba.

Which means Real Madrid don't buy Pogba, which means we don't buy Kroos.

So we either get Bonucci OR Kroos Then?

This is what I have been thinking as well.

If this goes through I suspect it shows that Pep is prioritising central defence given the lack of quality players that fit his style of play available after we missed on Laporte. He also helps to organise the defence which Nico and Mangala are not good at, as evidenced by their performances away from Vinnie.

I think we would likely be in for Thaigo as a plan B, and may lead to Nasri staying if we don't get anyone else of that level of quality.
 
Yes, I've also been thinking this presents a difficult decision for City.

Juventus want to keep Pogba, their biggest star, as a statement. Meanwhile Bonucci is 29 and his value will never be higher.

Bonucci just signed a new contract but could earn double the wages and may not have another opportunity to play elsewhere, never mind with Pep.

City are between a rock and a hard place. Close in on Bonucci and they keep Pogba, so Real's "gentleman's agreement" over Kroos goes out the window. Or, they could take a punt on Pogba ending up at the Bernabeu and Real honoring their agreement, but losing out on Bonucci.

The key for Txiki is finding a way to get both. If not, well, maybe go for Bonucci and pick up Thiago instead.
