Re: Sagna

Need neither Sanchez or pedro imo, no room with the current set up and one wouldn't be comfortable in our style, the other overrated..

Sagna
Fernando
Benatia
Isco (loan) - strong possibility!!!

A loan deal for Isco would be fantastic!! I just assumed he was out of our reach.

Here's hoping he (a) doesn't make the starting 11 Saturday and (b) they get stuffed by athletico (:

Sagna
Mangala
Fernando
Sanchez/Pedro

Would be my perfect summer and would complete the squad.

Can't post stuff like that without a gif attached :)

Agreed. Preferably something really psychedelic, accompanied by that 60's tune, "Popcorn"

Re: Sagna

Quick question on this, did I read that we were not allowed to increase our wage bill next season?
If so, how are we expected to sign better players than the ones we are letting go?

Barry 90k Lescott 90k Richards 70k Sinclair 60k is 300k for a start. We're getting more value for money with our contracts these days. They expected the wage bill to come down anyway, new signings included

You can add Adebayor to that list as well. We paid £40.000 a week up until now for him.... From next season he is finally gone for good!

Pedro if anything is criminally under rated, though I'll certainly take Isco on loan, even though Pedro would be a better option.

I have seen renowned posters say we are definitely not contributing toward his wages, also, I have seen other renowned posters say we are.

I personally thought the deal with Spurs' meant we were not contributing.

Once he signed for Spurs is it not illegal for City to continue to make payments to a registered Spurs player?

Sadly no, it's a compromise between the player and former club. I don't know how it works, but it is for sure not illegal.

Sagna free, Benatia and Fernando 50M Euros for the pair? Gives us 10M Euros to play with, we'll need a keeper, but we could sell Richards, Rodwell, Sinclair and Guidetti, £10M+ ?

Still think we might have room for manoeuvre for one more big signing, other than the bolded 3 that most are expecting.

Re: Sagna

1 goal and 3 assists all season.

I know that the primary function is to defend but those stats don't excite

His best assists is 7 over the last 7 seasons, which is actually not too bad.

Seams Coleman would have been my preferred option but would most likely have been a much more expensive signing

Good luck Sagna
