Sky Italia saying we are looking at Kondogbia again. I had a feeling that we want him this summer. I think he would be a perfect addition for us.

id be very surprised if we got this guy. wenger hasnt been interested in this type of midfielder for years. he's a good player, but his passing is pretty basic

I kinda disagree - Wenger's always tried to have one powerful midfielder in the squad, even in the days when he was going full midget. I think Kondogbia would be the right level to go for, good enough to challenge Coquelin but not necessarily a starter, not too expensive (hopefully) and will give us qualities that others in the squad won't.

Matt Spiro also talking about this now.

I believe Fabinho is the one to get actually.

Looking at Matt Spiro's Twitter he says Kondogbia not one of our priorities.

How does Kondogbia compare with Imbula Clrnc? 

I followed Kondogbia closely when he was at Sevilla and his passing is actually pretty decent. That's a part of his game that is much better than Imbula.

Imbula have potential but a little raw in his overall game. I don't think he is a top level player.

Ah ffs, Inter have reportedly scheduled a medical for him on Monday after agreeing a fee and terms.

Galliani said that they wanted him, but that he would cost more than €35m. Not worth.

Probably that's the reason, yeah. Shame, hope we have someone else in the pipeline. I wanted a talented player with a huge physical potential in the mix.

His agent has a strong link to Milan or something, I vaguely remember reading an article about it.

Rumours on Twitter that he has snubbed AC and joined Inter Milan. Jackson Martinez move isn't confirmed either yet, rumours of Atletico possibly puttin in an offer as Mandzukic has left. AC Milan could lose out on two big players in a very short space of time!

Kondogbia's a good player, never thought he was the right player for us though.

Inter can afford a player like Kondogbia again?

Didn't they get taken over by some Indonesian/Malaysian media baron - Erick Thohir - recently? I suppose he has now started investing in the club a bit.

Talk is that it was the Milan Giants behind the move to have FFP relaxed to enable new owners to invest to rebuild on the pitch, and that this relaxation will be limited to current non-CL clubs only. Talk is that the new owners at both Inter & Milan are looking to invest 150m this summer = ManU level investment.
