Was absolutely superb in the 1-1 though, had Dzeko in his back pocket.

You forget we're talking about the Champions League here - and currently have Mike Williamson, Paul Dummett and Steven Taylor as our defensive options - all of whom are poor. Relegation candidate centre backs at the very best - Dummett possibly Championship at best.

You would have thought with Bony going he might be preparing for a run in the first team rather than planning an exodus.

I guess if he's fallen out with people at the club he'd rather leave.

Anyone know quite how City are getting away with spending 28 million on a player with regards to FFP?


What? What in the fuck are they getting away with? The cap is like £50m anyway so it can't be that. No idea what you're getting at.

Same with the Lampard deal in that people spout complete and utter bullshit that it's "circumventing FFP" when that makes literally no sense

I don't think City are breaking any rules, definitely not FFP. In regards to Lampard, I have no idea what that was, other than idiotic. What was the point of announcing it as a loan, to maintain his 'legendary status' at Chelsea?

That too obviously, but I think season tickets went on sale a good while after the deal was announced, so likely it was like "Look, we've signed Villa and Lampard, we mean business, we're here to win, take us seriously" type thing

BBC reporting Swansea have had a bid accepted for Kyle Naughton.

Are they going for the "Receive big money, invest it in sub-par tosh for all positions" routine Spurs and Liverpool have done?

Apparently Neil Taylor could be leaving Swansea, so this is just a replacement. Hopefully this deal means Yedlin will start getting some game time soon.

Odd choice given Naughton is better at right back.

Heard a few rumours that we are in for Mirallas and could possibly offer Lennon in exchange. I'd take that, Lennon has completely lost his ways over the last 2 seasons.

Seems we are after Cuardado with Schurrle possibly going Wolfsburg. I like Schurrle but would quite like this to happen tbh

I like Mirallas, he is much better than Lennon. Chadli, Eriksen & Mirallas behind Kane would be good to watch.

Spurs should be aiming higher than Mirallas to progress imo

We're looking at De Bruyne apparently.

Good player, not sure if he'd improve us though.

Big Bielik finally signed. £2.5m at 17, looks decent. Fucking massive and is a DM so hopefully it signals the end of Flamini in the Summer when we sign a starting DM too.

Looking at Gabriel Paulista from Villarreal apparently, he's starting tonight for them. €20m is the fee being touted (his release clause) but I'm guessing we'll try and strike a deal around the €15-17m mark.

Who should we sign then? Not like we're going to attract world class players or anything.

That could quite possibly turn out to be a disastrous move for him.

I'd try putting in a bid for Schurrle to be honest. If it's true Chelsea are looking to get Cuardado and let him go then it's not that unrealistic.

Wouldn't surprise me if he ends up at Dortmund as a replacement for Reus.

Not too sure why we'd offload Schurrle just yet, I'd rather sell Salah off first because he's more of a deadweight. Schurle's had a rough season with illness and poor form, but he's still a handy player when he fires. A good pre-season in the gym would help as well. Definitely need some more firepower though from the wider positions. Reus would be ideal, would also be happy with Cuardado or even Mirallas tbh. I think Mirallas would fit in very well.
