I hope city sign this guy soon so the link stops. We need an upgrade on moses not someone inferior like Danilo. The funny thing is he is going to be benched by walker. i wud rather be on reals bench than citys bench

I dont undrstand why we are not chasing Aurier. Psg obviously dont want him

Mainly because he's a sh*thouse. Though, that said, there's probably room in the squad for a sh*thouse with Diego on the way out

When Roman first bought the club the BBC football website selected me to give some views about his takeover. One of the points I made in the comments I sent them, although it was edited out of the published piece, was that I hoped Roman's spending would force the big clubs to introduce regulations which encourage a level playing field. I hoped they would feel they were unable to match his budget and would therefore join those wanting a fairer system. I long for American style parity regulations but I reckoned without the weakness of Michael Platini, a man who was simply not bright enough for the position he held, and who allowed himself to be completely out manoeuvred by Europe's most powerful clubs.

Those clubs got Platini to introduce so called fair play regulations which in fact are no such thing. FFP is an horrendous misnomer*. It should really be called, as we fans tend to dub it, financial unfair play. As a result, Roman's activity has made no difference. Not only are big money clubs the ones who are able to spend big, they are now the only ones who are even allowed to do so. How a governing body can set up rules which mean that only certain clubs can sustain a competitive team over the long term, is utterly beyond me. It's nothing short of disgusting. When the money came into City & PSG, I commented that I hoped they'd drive a double decker bus through FFP, and I'm delighted that they appear to be doing so.

That Roman was, and is, one of the chief supporters of FFP is well known and, for me, personally disappointing. As you say, he has made in through the door and is trying to shut it behind him. What I want to see is all clubs restricted to a fixed maximum annual budget. A budget which is the same for all clubs. Then we'll see who the best talent spotters, and the best coaches, are. It's one thing to recognise that the young lad racing against Usain Bolt in a first round heat can't afford the mega high tech running shoes which are provided to Bolt by his sponsors, but it's another thing to tell that kid no one is allowed to buy him a good pair of shoes so he can at least go out there and show his best. In athletics no one would dream of saying such a thing. Why's it different in football? We know the answer.

 

*Steve Claridge please note I've just used the word misnomer correctly. You should try doing the same sometime.

This! Fully agree with you mate.

He has visa issues with the UK govt. Get that settled and he's ours. Until then good luck bribing the authorities

We don't seem to be on the best terms with Everton. 

Well after stones nonit seems that way, in the case of Lukaku being we sold him to them after loaning him to them and we are now willing to over pay for him that we would at least get first refusal...whatever

City agree fee with Monaco for Mendy according to sky. Danilo back on?

Mendy is a LB, Danilo is a RB.

The way I see it. City let go of Zabaleta, Clichy and Sagna (2RBs and 1LB) and will sign Walker, Danilo and Mendy (2RBs and 1 LB) to replace them

Kolorov is likely to go too

Pep has built his attack, now he's building his defence. When he has Walker as his RB and Danilo as his backup, then you know he goes very strong this season. 

Apparently, Danio has left Real Madrid's training camp, seems like his deal with City is almost done. 

They have by far the best squad in England just now as it stands (while we have the best manager) Ridiculous strength and depth. I hope we can strengthen our wing backs to as its a real weak area should Moses or Alonso get injured or suspended.

Sky are reporting that Danilo has said his goodbyes to his Real Madrid teammates ahead of his move to City...happy for him to go there as I don't think he's good enough for us...

Hes a great second option to have if Walker is out.
