His hair alone is reason enough not to go anywhere near.
Couple that with an almost guaranteed disappearance during the winter months of a so called Brazilian superstar and we have yet another transfer disaster waiting in the wings.
No thanks, let him go and light up La Liga!

chequebook manager
Fergie could possible pay 60 odd million to get tranny back plus huge wages,
does that not make him a chequebook manager ???
If Bob goes,do you think any manager coming in would not want a big warchest ??
A new manager will obviously want his own players, but we can't keep going out buying clubs best players and paying a fortune to do so.
Falcao's, cavani's and neymars would be brilliant, but how about having one of those with some young talent or shrewed buys? Michu for example.
We have to be very resourceful with our money now, and Mancini for me, isn't resourceful in the transfer market

Don't really see that it would make much difference. Bob and the players will want the cup, Bob would be getting a decent payoff. It's no big deal.
Thing is mate, one thing is for sure. There was a big reason for Bob to shoot over to AD seeing as he'd just had a long meeting with Khaldoon post Newcastle game.
I know I'm only guessing and Tolm may be right about a transfer target. I just think it's more likely managerial related.
Rammy, I can see where you are coming from and I would also like it to be the case, but you can't read too much from either side of the argument.
Khaldoon speaking with Mancini came after a resounding win over Newcastle - there must surely have been better opportunities to tell him he was on his way out?
There is a lot of firefighting going on at the moment re Kompany, so maybe Mancini was told to sort it out and calm down his rhetoric.
Perhaps one of our posters in Abu Dhabi can tell us if our owner and Khaldoon were even in the country at the start of the week!
I'll give you my take, though. It was either to meet a summer transfer target/their agent, out there, just like we did with Yaya, Kaka and John Terry.
Or Mancini has been guaranteed by the big boss man himself, his word, that he will not be sacked.
I see no reason whatsoever for Mancini to have spoken later in the week the way he has.
He's talking about transfer funds which need to be spent, players they are already talking to.
I think it's Neymar's people. His third party are ready to sell their 40 per cent stake in the player.

Are Everton out of it if they win today. I had a go on the BBC predictor and had them in the mix if they win today.Rammy Blue said:I'm pretty shit at knocking stuff together but can anyone get a list of remaining games for Chelsea, Spuds and Arse?

I remain unconvinced also.
However, going into a World Cup year, with the Brazilian poster boy, you are literally printing money.
I read somewhere that Santos only pay him £100k a week. The other £800k A WEEK comes from commercial tie-ups!!

Informs him that Sheikh Mansour would like to see him face-to-face to personally thank him for the last 3 years and all he's done for the club, as chances are he won't see him face-to-face again.
That's what you hope any way.

Massively torn over Neymar. Still don't think there is room for him at Barca, think Real will look elsewhere, but I think he needs a historically 'big' club to feed his ego into becoming the best. If he thinks for a second he's doing us a favour by coming here I think he'll flop. That said, the profile of signing someone like Neymar would be huge, and very much in fitting with the Txiki/Ferran/Ronaldihino model of transformation. I don't think Mancini is the man he needs right now either, very far from it. Maybe I'm selling his mentality short, but I think the first sign of a squabble and he'll be begging for Barca or Chelsea.
