Other Clubs Signings - Transfer Window Summer 2017.

[f.t.r.s]

To be fair these signings are pretty clever if they come off for city.
Bernardo silva = David silva replacement
Big willy style = yaya replacement
Ederson = another cracking at sorting the keeper problem

I remember Ramon Calderon telling the story of how he sold Robinho to Man City, and saying something along the lines of "We were thinking we would get about 25 million, something like that, but they said 'How much do you want?', so of course we started high, 40 million ... and they gave us 50."

£33m don't tell fibs Browns

Fairly sure nobody cares what West Ham do mate. That's the difference.

I think it's funny, and confusing at the same time they get some much coverage on here. Honestly didn't even know they hadn't moved stadiums until recently.

2. actual Ramon Calderon vs internet reports

4. shut up

£100k a week for a past it Zabaleta, nobody bats an eyelid.

£100k a week for Barkley is, on the other hand, jaw-dropping and far more than he's worth.

Logic right there.

Thing is, one of them is a proven winner time and again. The other is Ross Barkley.

One is 32 and his legs look like they've gone. The other is 23 and nowhere near his peak but plays week in week out at a high level. And is an attacking player so carries a premium.

Begovic signs for Bournemouth from Chelsea. Fee undisclosed. Good signing for them.

 

[Armel]

Kara going to Crystal Palace would be brilliant. The big question would be: how long before he gets into an argument with the fans, the other one : when is he's going to get his knee operation. Mind you he'd only cost 10 mil €.

He's awful mate. I would honestly prefer Boruc over him. And he's crap too.

£10m reported on south news just now.

Today's Times is saying that Man City are preparing a move for Van Dijk from Southampton.....

Manchester City are preparing a £100 million deal for Virgil van Dijk that they hope will allow them to beat Chelsea and Liverpool to the defender’s signature.

City are ready to pay Southampton more than £50 million and give Van Dijk a five-year contract worth about £180,000 a week, nearly four times his present salary.

Chelsea thought that they were in pole position to sign Van Dijk as they were willing to pay him £170,000 a week — about £50,000 a week more than has been offered by Liverpool. Southampton are holding out for about £60 million as they must pay Celtic 10 per cent of the transfer fee for a player they bought from the Scottish club for £13 million two years ago.

The 25-year-old Holland defender would partner John Stones, whom City bought for £47.5 million from Everton last summer, in a new-look defence to which the club hope to add Kyle Walker, a right back who may cost a similar sum from Tottenham Hotspur, and Benjamin Mendy, on the other flank, from Monaco. The back four alone would cost almost £200 million.

If Stones actually figures out what he's supposed to be doing - that's one hell of a back four.
