And there’s me assuming they just didn’t have to think of Anne Widdecombe!

I’m an FOC pal but I’ll never be that much of an FOC

Go fluff yerself.

I agree. I still think it’s ridiculous. Clearly city have their limitations.

I do also like it when we sign cheaper players that turn into top class players as well. Akanji and zaba being two great examples

And £5m Vincent Kompany

Wolves fan, interesting and a surprising development regarding Nunes.
My take, he is a very talented player, unfortunately at Wolves he really is playing in a shit team and it would be difficult to compare what he has to do for us, to how City would use him. He is a very attack minded player, he is fast, he glides and carries the ball making forward runs. Negatives he switches off defensively but City tend to have the ball for maybe 65-70percent of the times, as stated it difficult to compare how Wolves and City have to play given our poor thread bare playing squad. Price wise, yes expensive but you have to blame the values put on Mount and Rice and the silly inflated prices Chelsea pay out. We will also loosing one of our better players and very close to the window closing. Overall I believe he would be a success at City

A fair appraisal. Do you think Doyle, Palmer or McAtee could do a job for Wolves if sent their on loan as part of a deal? Or would they just be bench fodder.

Vinnie cost 10.4 million from Anderlecht!

So what you are saying is that if someone think another teams player is shite they should immediately change their opinion if Romano (or similar) puts out a tweet saying we are interested in said player, or keep their opinion to themselves since they could risk annoying snowflake strangers on this forum that dont agree with them?
I disagree, at least as long as the player is not even a City player :) Calling the clubs players shite on the other hand, thats a different thing and disrespectful, in my opinion.

I'm not talking about Romano or any other social media type. I don't even go on twitter. I'm talking about people trashing players that Pep and the club are actually pursuing. Some of those may not be someone's cup of tea, but I'd hardly think City would be in the business of bringing in shite players.
So that's what I'm saying. I hope that helps clarify my point for you.

As far as annoying any snowflake strangers on here, I can't speak to that basically because I'm no snowflake. So I do hope that's not what you're insinuating.

And yes some of the overly assured bashers on here are annoying as fuck....to me.

A bargain at twice the price then :)

Bless, sky sports news who give us short shrift on every story have got the Nunes rejected bid as their main story.
Been about 4 hrs now, our stories never stay as the main story ever, bitter pricks they are.

No doubt we will hear more news early evening about another bid

You make a great point about talented attacking players failing to shine in teams that are struggling. It isn’t just the lack of possession, but also the fear of trying things, losing the ball, lack of confidence, that undermines players when teams that are struggling. We saw it for enough years. I suspect he would be a different proposition entirely in a team with 75% plus possession and Rodri behind him. I hope we get him, and oddly for the reasons stated above, his departure might not weaken Wolves too much, and the money can be used wisely. I think your owners have looked at the three promoted clubs, plus Everton, and thought we can totally re-set here and just about get away with it. I hope so, I like the hostility of Molineux, once a year, no more.
