Paulo Dybala

[EL APACHE TEVEZ]

That's horrifying if true,someone needs there bollocks kicking in.

 

[Phil1]

That's a great story. Load of bollocks likely, but still, a great story.

 

[Serg10Aguero]

Perhaps we wouldn't have signed Jesus if we had Dybala...

There is always that :)

It looks like the guy has already left who made that decision.

 

[cadds92]

Tough reading that.

At the time I thought Bony was a decent move, but had it been between him or Dybala it's no contest. Dybala every time.

 

[RayCTID]

We had Sergio Aguero (you could argue has similar qualities to Dybala), Dzeko, Jovetic on our books at the time and were planning on landing Raheem Sterling and De Bruyne in that summer. Bony was bought in as a squad player.

 

[deano ou812]

Typical city,but hindsight is a wonderful thing,added to the fact I wouldn't trust what these shite papers write anymore ..

 

[BringBackSwales]

No way Pellers outranked Txikki. IF true then any final decision would have been down to the latter

 

[kaz7]

It was written by simon mullock so it was true alright

 

[Mike D]

Quality we passed on the next Aguero and signed a sack of sh*t that is now struggling to make the Stoke bench.

 

[Thaksinssoldier]

The one rumour that's always been consistent is Manuel pushed hard to get Bony.

Correct

As a poster said earlier - a few days ago, Dybala has signed a new contract with Juventus. The renewal signed last Friday runs till the end of the 2021/2022 season. He is a great talent and his market value must be around €100m. Juve paid Palermo €40m in 2015. On completing the new contract last week Juve had to pay Palermo a further €8m.

On that basis it is time to move on.

The exact wrong way round. How can a DoF be ultimately responsible when the performance of shite like Bony could get the manager sacked. DoF will identify players to the manager's requirements, but ultimate decision on who we get is down to the manager

Manchester City could have signed Paulo Dybala for £30m two years ago but decided to buy Wilfried Bony instead. [Sunday Mirror]

Txiki ordered an in-depth look at Dybala, who wanted to join City, but Manuel Pellegrini convinced him to sign Bony instead. [Sunday Mirror]

Fucking hell

There's Txiki covering his back.

 

[bboy]

Agreed. Pretty transparent. Still not sure I like the way these guys operate.

I would rather have not known we had a chance to buy him to be honest. :(

I am surprised there have been no City links to him, he looks a brilliant player.

He could have done well for Stoke this season.
