Excellent acquisition on paper.

No doubt they find "someone" to buy somebody like Lukaku and we can listen to the great intellectual minds of Micah Richards and Jamie Carragher talking about how "clever" the business is.

Quite Sid, i think they need to bin off ex players on punditry and commentary, they aren't managers or coaches for good reason, are nauseatingly thick and typically main stream media apologetic for and supportive of the oil money clubs wrecking domestic and European football and there are 1000's of people out there who love the game, are greater students of it and could speak far more knowledgably and intelligently about it, without the cliche's, stereotypes and constantly towing of The Premier League FA PGMOL and tabloid rag media line

£86m contract for a 3-year period - that's about £28m per year which is about £539k per week.

Unfortunately a very good deal for Man City, when fit he is an excellent player.



Mateo Kovacic is close to joining Manchester City after they agreed a deal with Chelsea worth up to £30m.

The Croatia midfielder, 29, is set to join the Premier League champions for an initial fee of £25m, with £5m in potential add-ons.

Chelsea are continuing to sell players as they look to trim their large squad for new manager Mauricio Pochettino.

Yep. He'd have been a good but for us at that price.

Him being a practicing Muslim also would have made it very appealing to move to Saudi Arabia, I would guess....

Andy Jones from The Athletic saying there are no plans for any of the defence to leave this summer and unlikely a RB will be brought in either.
Fabulous news.

Reports on social media that we are waiting until after the u21s championships to bid/sign Thuram. If we are that serious why not do it now? A good tournament and it generates more interest. Worrying of he gets injured, that could happen at any time.
