Valera 100 percent has a release clause. That's what City are after . Quick transactions at the start of the window . He's perfect aswel . Seems a no brainer .

It is of course just the way we see it, but my view is a mobile DM if not 2, does stop us being vulnerable, it also helps with the attack. If you take Leicester for example, they compositely dominated the midfield in the 2nd half, despite being completely shit. pretty sure our tackle rate is the lowest in the league. If we do not buy at least 1 DM in January we will not be in the CL, we may not even be in Europe as our midfield is burnt out.That will be resolved in the summer. A midfield signing in January will not stop us being vunerable on the counter attack.
Still got the depth to ride things out until the summer. It is the defence that we have the real injury concerns.It is of course just the way we see it, but my view is a mobile DM if not 2, does stop us being vulnerable, it also helps with the attack.

Porto won't cut their own throats mid way through the season. That is the issue. Both are brilliant suggestions for when Hugo Viana's targets when he is officially appointed
So what is the issue: we won't pay the RC or Porto won't sell him?Didn't activate Bruno G's. That was meant to be a quick transaction.

No we have not got the depth, we only had 1 DM and he is out till the summer, Kovacic and Bernardo are doing the best they can, but still got overrun by a shitty relegation side, Will Hughes and Tielemans dominated our midfield. Our defense will get better if it can rely on some protection in front of them.Still got the depth to ride things out until the summer. It is the defence that we have the real injury concerns.
The Release Clause.What relevance is that?
Both and the player would not want to move just yet either. Similar with Zubimendi (although he is carrying a back injury). Porto are in a middle of the title race and are on course for the latter stages of the Champions League. They aren't going to further weaken themselves at this stage and they aren't going to do us any favours either seeing we have poached their DoF.So what is the issue: we won't pay the RC or Porto won't sell him?

So we didn't decide to sign one player for 100m 6mths ago, so that means we will never sign a player ever again. Cheers Ray, I guess we just wait for the current squad to die off and then Man City cease to exist.The Release Clause.
Both.
