Exactly! Which also proves your link was bollocks too. Unless "sky sports understands" is now regarded as fact.
I don't write the links m8 , just as you don't .
But we are both aware as to why City want him , and why Everton won't sell him . For this stance to change , there has surely got to be some middle ground .
City can pay what ever Everton ask , if they did ask for a fee , and Everton know that .
City know that Everton won't sell at a low value , and let's be serious here for a minute ; 2 seasons ago , £15 mill was a lot of money . This year , and mainly because of City themselves , £15 mill is now peanuts . We would be mad to even consider it , and thankfully , we didn't .
We're talking about a left footed defender here , who can play 2 positions for both Everton and England . He is only in his mid 20's , and is an ' essential ' player for our respective clubs .
My own opinion of him isn't as high as the majority possibly , but it's not my opinion that counts .
He is likely to go for a lot nearer to £30m than he is to £15m in my opinion .
With £30 mill , we are in a good position to move our side forward .
For £15m , we would move backwards .
Simples .
