They're under huge media pressure to sign Kante.

I doubt they can afford him without selling some players.

I think you are correct.

Kante not coming home

Paris might well be smarting from us taking their best academy talent!!

Feck em! Remember Alves

And the point is we won the league without the left back who most people said was vital to a premier league challenge. Not only that we conceded the fewest goals in the league.

Mendy hopefully will be a great addition. I actually hope his "infectious " personality "is toned down. I was a few yards away from him when he made the tackle that caused the injury. It was not needed he made it from the wrong side and was athletically poor.

I believe that one or two players will have surprisingly different roles this season which will strengthen the centre of midfield. Of course I do not know that, we will see.

Agree fully with your assessment of the injury. I was a bit further down the line that day but you could clearly see the challenge was not necessary and badly executed. While he was still on the pitch that day while he was dynamic going forward I thought his positional sense and general defensive awareness was a tad suspect.

We have been offered a worldy.

I would take this guy in an instant but his injuries are a concern it would seem.

Would be £80m. The fat man is involved.

And before anyone says it, he also reps Sandler.

Thiago it sounds like.

Thiago it sounds like.

Oh!

 

[Decepticon]

Verratti yes please.

They're under huge media pressure to sign Kante.

I doubt they can afford him without selling some players.

They also seem to want to sign Julian Weigl, so maybe Verattis really is surplus to requirements. Would be a dream signing for me.

 

[Shaelumstash]

Verratti would be the absolute dream signing for me.

I can't think of a player more ideally suited to what we need.

And at 25, £80m seems cheap to me. He could have 8 years left at the top level.

 

[dachoosen1]

Would pay the 80mil in a heartbeat, he is world class with the way transfer fees are going in 2 or 3 years it will be a bargain rate him high the jorginho. We could easily get 8 years out of him.

Verrati would be the dream signing. Said this months ago. I liked him before he went to psg. He would be perfect at city.
