The "poor" first touch thing people like to bring up just shows that they have no idea what they are talking about. He has made a huge improvement in general play since joining Everton and especially last season he was pretty flawless.

Just because Pep is stuck up his own arse doesn't mean Aguero is dead bro.

Pep has nothing to do with Aguero's performances, he can be blamed for an awful lot of things at City but Aguero not performing isn't one of them.

Aguero refusing to make runs off the ball and needing 5 chances to score one isn't the fault of his manager.

It's not like Pep's approach stifled Aguero and prevented him from scoring goals, they created as many chances as anyone.

Aguero is done, injuries killed him.

Lol exactly. City created the most chances in the league, so Aguero had his opportunities. He's a selfish player who wasn't clinical, and when City needed him most he went missing.

Jesus is the starter. Looks like City will roll out a front line of:

Alexis - Jesus - Sane

You mean how much did Man Utd have to pay to get rid of him.

Let's say Lukaku's value is 60m, United had to pay 15m more just to get rid of Rooney.

Kun off the bench is an awesome option, I don't think he's "done" like you guys seem to think, but he deff is regressing. Not sure who the fk City will line up if they land Alexis tbh. Maybe...

---Alexis--Jesus--B.Silva
---DeBruyne--D.Silva
-------Gundogan

I just don't think David Silva gets benched and City paid a premium for those other guys, so I see Sane + Sterling + Aguero being the guys off the bench, who knows. City would have some crazy options though

Chelsea should bid for Aguero then.

AC Milan willing to make Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang best-paid player in Italy - on £135,000 a week. Dortmund want £70m. (Source: @SkyKaveh)

135k would be the highest pay in Italy? Oh boy. Lingard earns 100k ffs.

Once again. NET.

Every time

Inter are managed by some dumb *bleep*.

Just a year older than Biglia that Milan are signing for 20...
I'd take always expert player on a low price willingly.
Approved signing, but the real problem is that our mercato atm are just him and Skriniar ( BC ) from Sampdoria...

like in summer '15, when they also were among the top 10 net spenders in Europe, along with Newcastle and Valencia

Yeah but they'll peak even amount 200 mln on this session. Unreal money for Serie A

How is Issa Diop (Toulouse ) ?

We're going on him according Gazzetta

He's not done, he's still a very good player but when you have as many injuries as he has it's only natural this happens.

He's not as clinical as he was, he's not as explosive and he's certainly not as good a dribbler.

I mean you can't have it both ways really, you can't say how wasteful City are and then absolve the CF of blame.

If this was prime Aguero, this wouldn't even be a conversation and the links to the likes of Sanchez wouldn't even be happening.

@farfan @sportsczy

One of the best young center backs in the league. Wanted him at Lyon for a while now.

Rudiger having a medical at Chelsea

He's raw and a bit rash, probably not ready to start for a bigger club in one of the big leagues. However, at 20, he has tons of potential and could mature into a VERY good CB within the next few years.

@ farfan:
I'm curious how you rate him in comparison to Mammana.

Didn't live up to my expectations considering what we paid for him. He's shown some decent technical abilities but is often too timid and lacks combativity, has a costly lapse of judgment in almost every game, couldn't win an aerial challenge to save his life etc..

Maybe he can improve under a competent manager, but I'm starting to think that our clueless ( and non-existing)  scouting team simply got conned by a cunning agent.

oh no excuses i agree

if we spend anything less than 200m it will be inexplicable

definitely no excuses . I don't even know what takes them so long for the next one ? It has been two full days since Conti .

????

No excuses if Biglia isn't done dealio by tonight , enough patience is enough

True, exception made of Conti.
Idk about Silva the cf who did *bleep* all vs Juve in CL. 38m seems laughable.

However this new team should be good enough to reach the podium. Milan will sell Bacca (decent at best) and buy another forward so they might improve again.

Biglia still has it eh? For that cash I'm surprised they didnt go for a younger version like they have with the other signings of a player similar to that profile. Plus they still have Sosa and apparently he won't leave.

Anyways Milan did not have an elite tier squad to begin with, so I think it will take a few windows of revamping before they should be realistically be fighting for the title, but they should deff be aiming to finish in the top 3 this season with the money spent.

Oh yea, I can't find the links but apparently Arsenal are interested in some guy from Inter named Brozovic or somesht like that

Would love Brozovic at Arsenal.

Pls buy Lemina instead

According to RAC1 Barca will pay the release clause of Paulinho, 40 millions. He is 29 and he plays in china.

I repeat 40 millions.

André Gomes and Paulinho will be in the same team next year.

I can't get over this transfer ffs

I don't get this? why?

He is a good player. But is there no one else available for arguably a top 3 club in the world?
