I reckon Martinez followed swiftly by Cavani (and it matters)
probably very few but formal bids usually come late in the process of attempting to sign players I think.alky313 said:How many of these players have we actually submitted bids for?johnny crossan said:Lavezzi, Bale, Hazard, Vertonghen, Alba, Reus, Mandžukić - who's next & does it matter?

he's not missed yet but Thiago Alcântara is I suppose.twinkletoes said:I think you missed off Thiago Silva.

Exactly..LongsightM13 said:Nobody except a small group at the club really knows if they were targets or not.
And even that player, if reports are to believed and thought about, wasn't wanted by Kompany.The cookie monster said:Exactly..LongsightM13 said:Nobody except a small group at the club really knows if they were targets or not.
We are linked to just about every player and the only player we have aparently put a bid in for was hazzard..
So we have missed 1 target...

this small group - how many is small I wonder? Sheik Mansour and his family, the rest of ADUG, the scouting network, Mancini, Marwood, Khaldoon, Glick, Kidd, Platt, Lombardo, Fausto, Carminati, Battara, Halford, several players, Vieira, Tolmie, Danamy, SalfordPaul, Prestwich Blue, fbloke .. it's verging on quite a large group if you believe Bluemoon.The cookie monster said:Exactly...LongsightM13 said:Nobody except a small group at the club really knows if they were targets or not.
Remember Kompany said he wouldn't force Hazard to sign for us and he wanted him to make his own mind up? According to this article, if we believe it, he told Witsel to listen to our offer; <a class="postlink" href="http://www.eatsleepsport.com/Manchester-City/Kompany-tells-Witsel-to-listen-to-City-1438230.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.eatsleepsport.com/Manchester ... 38230.html</a>. So either the article is rubbish (most probably) or he thinks Hazard is too egotistical and a bit of a pleb (also viable).The Fat el Hombre said:Blue Smarties said:And even that player, if reports are to believed and thought about, wasn't wanted by Kompany.The cookie monster said:Exactly..

Nothing? I'm just saying it's possible he wasn't wanted by the club captain and God forbid anyone researching Hazard for the transfer would think about asking his international captain for his opinion of him.The cookie monster said:And like i said earlier whats it got to do with kompany?Blue Smarties said:Remember Kompany said he wouldn't force Hazard to sign for us and he wanted him to make his own mind up?

Kompany identified Dembele as the best Beligian prospect on the OS - and on the subject of the "small" group who really know who our targets are I forgot to mention the clubs, presidents, chairmen, managers, agents and representatives of the players we have approached (and their friends etc)The cookie monster said:And like i said earlier whats it got to do with kompany?Blue Smarties said:Remember Kompany said he wouldn't force Hazard to sign for us and he wanted him to make his own mind up?
