Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang

[SWP's back]

My major wory about this deal is the ACN. Chances are 2 of our 3 strikers won't be with us in Jan/Early Feb. My other worry is his passing ability 69% is a bit shit - then again if Pep's happy then so be it.

how many times :-/

That cannot happen in 2017

City are easily by-passed in terms of checking if this story has legs.

Agbameyang people briefing a very different message.

Very strange, unless they have to take their exit strategy to the next level.

You still banging the navas over sterling drum I see...

Navas has fantastic workrate, however, he won't be here as funny enough he doesn't have the technical ability, this notion of an early ball works when you have runners and play a predominantly counter attacking system.... You will see more buses than the stagecoach depot next year, this plays perfectly into a 'technically' gifted team like he is assembling, having navas in that would reflect all his shortcomings... He canny beat a man captain...

Sterling, as many have stated will be a star in this team as he will be encouraged to get at the defender rather than 1/2 touch football..

It's curious that you think teams are going to park the bus, leave no space in behind, yet you think DeBruyne is going to be more suited to playing against that than Silva...

So it's all bollocks? Great

It's not bollocks...when I get info it is completely genuine...we are definitely in for him...no doubt at all...Like I have mentioned earlier...there is no guarantee we will get him...according to my source it isn't 'done and dusted' as some on here may infer...but it is in progress

For all us dumb fuckers who dont hve a clue what you are talking about, please tell us. Is it on?

 

[MillionDollarDream]

Shit...?

so dramatic. They just don't want him going cheap. Tuchel has to build his squad now as he was pretty much was Pellegrini in his first season using Mancini's squad. There were rumors Dortmund were going to spend crazy this season but no idea where the money was coming from, well here it is lol.

so it s on or not mate?

 

[Bellamy's Caddy]

Hence why I think City are issuing a denial...If they really have been meeting agents of the player and not yet contacted Dortmund...it could be embarrassing

That makes a lot of sense. Dortmund are going to come in for a lot of criticism selling their best players to Bayern (again) and City. Selling Aubameyang will be the one that annoys their fans the most. It is also in City's interests not to rock the boat especially for the sake of a few newspaper headlines. Hopefully this will play out over the next few days and we will get another fantastic signing.

Here's hoping pal!

 

[Lomas has a lob on]

And where does this leave Kelechi who is fast becoming a forgotten man!

It leaves him as an understudy, exactly where he should be right now.
He'll get plenty of opportunities without any added pressure now.
We saw towards the end of the season just how much he has to learn still. Now hopefully he'll have 2 world class forwards to learn from. Win win situation I think.

Something sinister happening.

 

[TrueBlueMike]

Gundogan Gone
Hummels Gone
Mkhitarian (Spelling) - Refusing Contract / Wont Commit and Linked to Leave
Reus - Linked to everyone, every summer
Sahin - Now Linked to Liverpool
In recent years Goetze / Lewandowski gone to Bayern

He must be looking around wondering who is going to be left.

Well he can shoot from outside the box for a start.

Whats that supposed to mean?

Days? We would be lucky haha.

It will ramble for the whole summer no doubt.

So does it or not ? I'm confused

 

[Lomas has a lob on]

It seems @tolmie was right in regards to all of this coming out via the players Agent. Have a feeling this might have to get a bit messy, just so Dortmund can appease their fans in the end.

They could be trying to force Madrids hand I suppose.

Didn't he always want to play for them or something and they have been linked constantly.

Exactly! The replacements haven't been of similar quality or better.
