I don't get what we're doing with Frimpong. Why did we loan him out to Fulham of all places? He needed playing time. The lad is 21 already.

Pellegrini wants isco, Reus, di Maria, kondogbia at city

Good god. I don't see Reus leaving this year- especially after losing Gotze and probably Lewandowski. Really really hope they don't get Cavani but between Chelsea and City, I think one of them gets him. Di Maria would have a tough time in the EPL I think. Reminds me too much of Nani. Isco is another story. Can't say I know much about Kondogbia.

Di Maria would do well here I reckon. His work ethic is astonishing and he is a very skillful player.

35m euro will get you Reus but that may only be next summer.

Klaus, tell me about Josip Ilicic please.

We've been linked?

I like what I've seen of him. Looks like a typical #10 to me. Tall and technical. Lots of energy when he can be arsed. He did nothing for half a season and then he went on an insane scoring streak lately. Think the talent is there but you have to ask questions about his mentality. He struggled for a long time to cope with added pressure after a good debut season. Palermo are bobbins though so it's hard to know what to make of it all. It's not easy to hit double digits for them without playing at point, that much I'll say.

Couple of weak links on newsnow. Never seen him as far as I know, so cheers for the info.

Doubt it, he'll go to Barca or Real imo.

It makes sense on paper. Palermo are already relegated and there's no way he'll stick around. Could end up being a bargain for us. I have seen very little of him this season so I'm going mostly on hearsay, but he looked like a proper footballer when he first arrived in Serie A at least.

Anyone know much about Jackson Martinez?

He's Porto's Falcao replacement, right? Never seen him play, but his goalscoring record is meant to be impressive.

In terms of play he's 0.75 benteke but he'd cost 3.2 michus

Wouldn't he be a free transfer? Or did I read wrong earlier?

I may have asked this before, but anyone seen much of John Guidetti?

Klaus?

I think we were in for him in Jan and may go again in summer.

Sincerely doubt it. He's come back from a serious injury right now and any tom, dick and harry can score a goal a game type statistics in the Eredivisie.

Bas Dost and Luuk de Jong both haven't made a considerable impact in Germany yet. They were the two most prolific scorers from last season.

Given his injury, the club that he plays for and the lack of showings at higher levels of football this is definitely NOT going to happen.
