Exactly. As Noel said, we'll tie him up to a chair and steal his passport in three years time. There's no way that plan can't work!

I'm really hoping we have some of these deals either done or under control because we seem to be taking forever to get these over the line if the stories of us being close for a month are true. Maybe we aren't sure exactly who to sign and we are hedging our bets a bit.
Thought it was because his friction with the Barcelona board which made him leave. Bayern Munich was also the same thing as well (eg. Kroos transfer). However, at City it seems everything has been in place for him to have his freedom. So I believe he'll stay longer.
His relationship with the board wasn't great, especially after Txiki left and Rosell came in
The main reason according to pep was that he was exhausted and had no more tactical ideas for Barcelona, having done it all.
In pep confidential Perineu says that at Barcelona there was talk of the players not responding to him anymore.
Big deals. As long as we get them done, I don't really mind although obviously the sooner the better. We're still ahead of the pack or at worst keeping pace with Chelsea, Arsenal, Spurs, Utd etc. I am hoping Arsenal don't manage to buy a striker. Lacazette and Benzema are possibilities. Nothing we can do about that of course but they look the strongest opponent. And Wilshere will be fit. or might be. There's always a question mark there. When he is truly fit, he is very good. They have so many players: the Ox, Walcott etc. If they add in one or two positions, they could be a threat.I'm really hoping we have some of these deals either done or under control because we seem to be taking forever to get these over the line if the stories of us being close for a month are true.

Well if you look at his Barcelona team, that's exactly what he did. Messi 21, Pedro 20, Busquests 20, Pique 21, Dani Alves 24, Iniesta 24.
He developed them over 4 years and was happy to leave.
After how many trophies? Champions Leagues? He'd achieved it all.

What do you mean 'close to a month' .......'sky sources' only broke the news were talking to Sane/Jesus/Moreno this morning, telling me how they had exciting news for City fans!!.....Sky even put the papers to shame sometimes....I genuinely think they thought this is breaking news!
I'm convinced to be a journalist you need to spell your name wrong, and your age be a single digit on the application form.

I always remember when we were after Kaka, sky sent Bryan Swanson out to Milan only for him to be standing outside the wrong building! I only watch ssn for interviews and footage from press conferences, I can't remember the last time they were the first to report anything of note, especially regarding City.

Have the ITK's gone on strike? Not heard anything from them in ages.
To be fair there's nowt much to report...deals with players have been done for awhile..just waiting on the clubs to agree to a fee
