City to offer 35 million for Coentrao in the winter Mercato

by Guest Thu Nov 24, 2011 7:07 pm

According to AS. Wonder if Coentrao is going to push for it since it seems like he's buried as a floating player with Madrid. I guess City is not happy with Clichy.

99% sure this is bs. But interesting bs nonetheless...

City needs fullbacks. I could see it happening.

Tbh it's better for him still don't think Mou will let him go so easy.

We need a 'stupid rumors' thread

by Guest Thu Nov 24, 2011 7:24 pm

It's actually AS reporting this without quoting some UK or other bs source... so it seems a bit more legit. At least, i couldn't see a source on the article.

I would be shocked if City didn't offer top money for several of the top fullbacks. They are weak on the left side defensively.

Really wonder how Coentrao takes it... it really makes sense for him to play elsewhere. His career is at a dead end at LB in Madrid with Marcelo.

It does not look so stupid.

Seems more like 100% bs to me.
Now if it were reporting for like a loan then maybe it would be like 95% bs.

by Onyx Thu Nov 24, 2011 8:08 pm

They already have Clichy, Kolarov and Zabaleta who can play there.

Don't think Mourinho will let him go like this?
If Mourinho buys a player, there is a reson for it.

Despite Coentrao has been pretty good since his arrival.

Nah brah it's 100%, unadulterated bs, coming from shitty Footy Latest, english website tabloid per excellence.

AS have way better sources

by Guest Thu Nov 24, 2011 8:44 pm

Well, here's the AS link.

http://www.as.com/futbol/articulo/city-dispuesto-ofrecer-35-millones/20111124dasdasftb_46/Tes

by Mr Nick09 Thu Nov 24, 2011 8:49 pm

Yeah, exactly the same link, but they didnt include the source lulz.

edit: look at the 1st page, they notify you that it's according to the british press, just on top of the article.

I just can't see anything in this. As previously mentioned, spending such an amount on Coentrao had to be justified and it would look like a real lack of judgment if he is sold so soon after signing.

Coentrao knew about Marcelo before he arrived here, so it's crazy to think he will depart for that very reason.

City have Clichy and Kolarov why would they need fullbacks?

by Guest Fri Nov 25, 2011 12:39 pm

Nope I'd rather keep him very important to have a solid WC back up and rotation for Marcelo who is also versatile enough to supplement the midfield

but still, 35 m is too much for coentrao, right?

Frenchman woke up on the wrong side of the bed? How could anyone think this rumour has any real truth or credibility to it?

by LeSwagg James Mon Nov 28, 2011 9:26 am

Don't believe it either, however I would take it.. 35 mill for a utility player seems great to me lol

by Guest Mon Nov 28, 2011 11:08 am

I called it "interesting bs"... i place no credibility on it. However, knowing City, i wouldn't be surprised if they put in a bid. They are not very good in the LB position despite Clichy and Kolorov. They've both been very meh.

by Doc Mon Nov 28, 2011 1:59 pm

I wouldn't even call it interesting to be frank. Although I do detect a hint of you not being too fond of Blondie or am I reading too into your statement...?!

I just don't get it. We could've signed the best RB in the world with 30 million and had Arbeloa to back up both the right and left side. For example, go offer 30 million to Arsenal for Sagna and see if they say no... For not a whole lot more, you could've had M'Villa too.

by teamanarchy Mon Nov 28, 2011 3:05 pm

Like I said earllier... Give Coentrao some time. He certainly hasn't been terrible, and I think he might be an ace up Mou's sleeve somewhere down the line...
We might just be in for a surprise.
Just because we're confused, doesn't mean Mou isn't.

by alexander mahone Mon Nov 28, 2011 7:48 pm

Maybe there will be an offer, but I'm sure we aren't selling our best signing this season so far, especially in the winter. Coentrao generally has been very good with the random position he played week in week out.

by Magricos Mon Nov 28, 2011 9:52 pm

I still don't understand how people are still confused. Arbeloa and Lass at RB and Marcelo and Coentrao at LB. And Ramos was seen as the RB at the start of the season.

by Guest Mon Nov 28, 2011 10:06 pm

Lass playing RB was due to emergency... we're lucky he's playing it well.

None of our signings has been really spectacular. Probably callejon of all people lol. Varane has been very good but too limited time, and we all have hopes for Sahin. But, considering everything, Coentrao our best signing? No.
