There were plenty of our players openly speaking about how great it would be if Suarez joined, and all the Germans have openly been speaking about Draxler several times. Honestly, I mainly think that it is an issue of reporters repeatedly asking questions to the players about potential transfer targets. Hard for the players not to give an answer. It is of course terribly irritating when it is one of our players!
I think Man City have a very good chance of knocking Barcelona out. It will be two attacking teams with poor defenses up against one another, so I reckon the matches will be very much fun to watch. Don't really know which team I'd like to go through.
