Now, before I start please put the stones, bottles and knives down.
I have had people who are better connected than me hinting at a deal that City are working on, and have been working on for about 6 months now (if memory serves correctly).
I had always assumed that we were looking at Aguero but this thing fits the profile. The supposed deal was described variously as 'game changer', 'massive' and my favourite 'seismic'
I PM'd a few of you about these whispers trying to get some sort of confirmation but it is all pretty tight for info at present.
So let us take a leap of faith and ask why he hasnt played recently. Are City asking for a nice fit and rested player?
Its also true that they need to raise £100m in order to stop an enforced sale of the club by the creditors - now that is definitely a confirmed fact as well.
It adds up and would certainly explain why the NDA's are in play and the papers have been warned about gossip.
It's gonna be nice to see if he plays against us, or indeed if he plays again this season.
