Ahh, perhaps explains our increased interest in Abner. They are both attacking left-backs aren't they?LoveCity said:Joehannes said:Was Vlad Marin released? Twitter I know but Juventus fans on there believe that he's joining their reserves on a free.
The player himself just retweeted "I've heard that you're coming to Turin".
Just done some Twitter searching and you seem to be right. Bloody hell, has he flopped so badly here? We paid a fair bit of money for him not long ago.

Sniff sniff..Randomself said:So it looks like another youngster has gone, more about work permit I think. Not sure City could of done anything but more money down the drain! If City felt he was worth fighting for, assume they would of let him go on loan somewhere, it just worries me, chasing all these youngsters in the past, putting in alot of work with them and simply letting them go. Out of the 3 that have gone in the past few weeks, it is a shame that both Suarez and Marin have gone. I wonder who might be next! Even the player they might be after from Brazil might not get a visa, so would have to go on loan anyway potentially.
Here is to the 'holistic' approach, buy buy buy and allow the younger plays to leave! Kidding, hope this changes in the future!!
