No way worth the asking price, Porto must be taking a piss over City here.

He would fit right in because we are thin in the apartment of Centre backs.
This is a desperate buy however.

Accoring to the transfer king GDM, Osvaldo will be taking a pay cut to join us

Was hyping up Drogo at Roma, now he should be in a Juve shirt

Yes I read (fwiw) Tottenham want something like 5 or 6m for him from Schalke (they paid Schalke 2m one year ago, so Schalke is not really pleased plus they're always broke for some reason).

Well, Schalke didn't exactly feel like buying back a player for 6 mio Euros that they just sold that same club for for about 1.5 mio Euros, especially considering that his wages were now around 3 mio Euros per year, which is more than Schalke are willing to pay him.

True, but of course the mistake was made by selling him for such little money in the first place.

Also, contrary to Natalie Portman, with whom I'm delighted to be able to converse about football, I don't think he's shit, at that price he's still a bargain. Lots of potential, wasn't used propoerly by Tottenham (they bought a ton of players and didn't know what to do with them anyway).

Would've preferred Simba go to Inter than Juve ffs. Here's to hopes of him punching out Lichtsteiner's punchable face at least.

He's going to do some damage in that loan stint.

Meanwhile, Roma are closing in on Rafael Toloi of Sao Paulo. The young defender is on a flight to Rome and is expected to sign and replace Nicolas Burdisso.

Roma also appear to have won the race for young Swede sensation Valmir Berisha, beating off interest from Manchester United and Borussia Dortmund.

According Sky Milan is dealing for Biabiany. Parma would get Saponara and Zaccardo

Valter Birsa's cousin?

Are City really about to spend 42m euros on a CB?

Yep, Zouma is ours.

Why isn't some PL club in need of a central midfielder, any central midfielder really, thinking of coughing up that money for the former best U-19 German player?

Well, one of the main clubs you'd expect to be interested in a young, talented, midfielder would be Liverpool, but there's no way in hell Spurs would be willing to deal.
Why others (beyond Fulham who appear to have him now) didn't make a move I don't know.

He's not good enough. Simple. Another overrated German who is not good enough to make his mark in PL.

He's not going to be loaned tbh.

Yeah, I can't see him being loaned either.

What on earth are Milan doing getting Taraabt. When a player can't even break into the QPR and Fulham level teams, you know something is wrong. He is useless with a crap attitude to match it.

Barcelona decide not to sign Reina for next season, according to Mundo Deportivo.

You know, those EXACT WORDS could have been referring to Henderson or Lucas at one point or another coming from LFC fans. You would think people would learn not to be so quick to make absolutist statements.

Newbie City fans  

The guy is 22 years old, fast, technical and an absolute tank. Its about as guaranteed as they come that he'll beast it in the premier league. Factor in that he'll more than likely be first choice along side Kompany with Nastasic and Demichellis in the rotation then means we can move Lescott's 90K a week salary on.

If Pellegrini and Txiki think he's "worth" it then I'm not going to argue because they sure as hell haven't done anything yet to make you question them. Fernandinho was supposed to be overpriced too wasn't he.....today no-one mentions the fee anymore.

he's not a city fan

Ian Ayre has abandoned negotiations with D'nipro and instead has signed a sponsorship contract with Ukrainian government in order to aid their resistance against the protest. Spotted at a brothel drunk 30 mins ago

He's being loaned back to St Etienne.....

He means next season

IT seems like Vucinic - Guarin is on again...

my post from Juve section :

DeviAngel wrote:Reports say that the talks Guarin - Vucinic might be reopen.

It all makes sense now. Marotta said 6 strikers are to much and that Osvaldo will come if we sell one. Vucinic in same day refuses moves to Arsenal and Valencia and tells he'll stay, he'll only move if the move is in Italy.

Meanwhile Inter bought the replacement they were going to take when Vucinic -Guarin was going to be done aka Hernanes.

It all makes sense after all it seems Guarin - Vuci will happen, that's why we are bringing OSvaldo

I am well aware of that, The only reason we've got the deal is because he is being loaned back... We're basically buying him and picking him up later. Not the type of loan I meant.

DEADLINE DAY 'ARRY CAR INTERVIEW AVATARS FORUM WIDE has been a tradition of GL, we better adhere to it lads ffs.

If Konoplyanka joins Liverpool then I might cry. That guy has too many qualities
