Marquinhos

[Tez Tosterone]

The chances of Marquinos coming to City are slighter than seeing a bacon sandwich trolley in a synagogue, if reports are accurate that both PSG and Barcelona are already in a bidding war. <a class="postlink" href="http://football-italia.net/36127/barca-and-psg-bid-" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://football-italia.net/36127/barca-and-psg-bid-</a>€25m-marquinhos

Another one off the list.

Barcelona have upped their bid to £27.5million. Safe to say we won't be getting involved in this one. Also safe to say we got an excellent deal with Nastasic the way the transfer market has gone with top young prospects.

 

[carlos tevez is a blue]

Mansour should have gutted City the moment he bought us and installed Leonardo to run the show. He knows what he's doing, and he has the balls to tell Twatini to go fuck himself.

You know nothing about any of this if you think Leonardo would do a better job than the men who work here or have worked here currently. He's got minimal experience doing much of anything and was sacked at inter and milan for doing s miserable job as a manager.

Not the current management, the former management. Leonardo would have surely done a better job than them. First, he knows something about football and can judge players. He has done an outstanding job building PSG. Didn't mess about with the old manager, sacked him immediately and started building with an actual plan.

If I recall, he won over 70% of his games at Inter but left because he wanted to be DOF. He publicly stated he never liked being a manager and had always wanted to be a director. He won a trophy while there so he wasn't miserable.

“The future of Leonardo is with Inter,” he said at the time. “He’s a great coach, he’s working very well, we are really satisfied.”

The 41-year-old’s move to Paris, another of his former teams, was his idea and not one promoted by the Inter management, Paolillo said.

“We wanted to keep him but he has decided to leave us,” he said. It’s not a question to keep or not to keep. He has decided to leave. Of course we would have kept him.”

So Thiago Silva, Ibra, Lavezzi, Motta, Sirgu, Maxwell, Lucas Moura, Cavani were unknown players? ok mate x

I thought the Spanish clubs were supposed to be in financial trouble, including the big two. To suggest that we are not able to compete in the market for the best young talent is probably true and also a worrying development.

Of the 20 clubs in la Liga, eleven are currently operating at profit including the big 2.

Any suggestions that Barca are cash strapped is laughable.

Due to their world renowned coaching system, their reliance on expensive external signings has been, relatively speaking, noticeably less than their Madrid rivals, Atletico and Real.

When they do need to go into the market - as they did when negotiating the transfer of Alexis Sanchez from Udinese - they play tough with the seller, in the full knowledge that the player will hold out for the move to Camp Nou rather than any other clubs that are contenders for the players signature. The signature of Neymar is a perfect example of them securing one of the top strikers in the world with little or no competition concerns with this influencing matters. The Fabregas case was a perfect example of the Sanchez tactic.

When you're Barca proof that being a top world club doesn't mean having to pay massively inflated prices.

Serves me right me for believing the Arsenal coaching staff!

Cagigao: Players clamouring for PL
July 6, 2013

By ESPN staff

Arsenal first-team coach Francis Cagigao has told El Pais that Spanish players are desperate to move to the Premier League this summer, due in part to the financial predicament of some La Liga clubs.
Thiago Alcantara and Alvaro Negredo are heavily linked with Manchester United and City respectively at the moment, and could follow the nine players who have moved from Spain to England already this summer.
Cagigao insists the trend is an understandable one.
"There are many Spanish players clamouring for a chance in the Premier League," he told El Pais.
"The stadiums are full, there is a fantastic environment, there is a great respect for players and coaches. There is more patience from the fans and the economy is better.
"Spanish players have become incredibly desirable after the success of the national team. But there is also a crisis in Spanish football.
"Apart from two teams [Real Madrid and Barcelona], the rest are not in a position to offer long contracts. 90 per cent of clubs cannot afford transfers."

Press Pass: City's new man?
Smyth, Nicol and Honigstein discuss the possibility of Man City signing Alvaro Negredo.

& The Guardian!

Barcelona and Real Madrid are Symbolic of Spain's Pain

"Spanish football has amassed a huge debt. Madrid and Barcelona owe €1.17bn but claim that is a debt they can service, unlike the other La Liga clubs who owe €2.19bn between them. A total of €690m is owed to the taxman and, with the economic crisis gripping Spain and the German chancellor, Angela Merkel, turning the screw on Rajoy, that is not a debt they are prepared to waive any more. Since 2004, 19 of 42 first and second division clubs have been through the ley concursal, Spain's equivalent of administration. Administrators have turned up hidden contracts, exorbitant commissions, players going unpaid, and fictitious payments. Clubs were easy game for speculators and shady characters. Now third-party ownership, banned in the Premier League, is common – for some clubs it is the only solution, but it comes at a cost."
