Transfer Business at Other Clubs (aka the other Wish List)

Mancity signed jovetic for 20 million..... why weren't we all over that I must ask? I remember reading that he would like to play for us too

Naz, because we aren't serious about signing anyone. Despite his newfound riches, Wenger will not relinquish old habits. He gets his thrills from wearing down teams until the final week of transfer season. The big risk is that by the time he does it this year, he'll find that he has cash and no options, and then end up spending 30m pounds on Benteke.

Can't move.....I seem to be nailed on.

Indeed, but it remains a matter on public record that he wanted to sign the likes of Suarez, that makes him unfit to be our manager.

They are all quality signings, Pellegrini will take some stopping. I don't think its ridiculous to early predict that they will win the title at the current landscape where no other teams have made major moves yet.

Anyway, does anybody find it seriously irritating City can deal with everyone so swiftly while we take ages? I mean surely its money playing a part, but early signs for us don't look good regarding options left.

Options are low for most now.

Who are the key players who may be available?

Suarez, higuain, Rooney, Bernard, hernanes, gustavo, shaqiri,

looking at transfermarkt, maybe: el sharaawy, ibrahimovic, marchisio, honda, bender, munain, giovinco, banega, valero, eriksen, papadopolous, de bruyne?

Honda 90% to AC Milan, De Bruyne not leaving.

Kel Varnsen

de bruyne should leave. looks like a terrific player.

Are you fucking serious? You slaughter him for a lack of ambition, then whine when he goes for one of the best players in the league 😆.

It's not his footballing ability to which Biggy objects though is it, that's been made abundantly clear …

lorddulaarsenal

Looks like spurs are getting soldado 🙁

Should we be interested?

As a last resort.

Aye, but there are only three genuine world class, established players potentially available to us this summer- Rooney, Cesc and Suarez- and it seems as though Gus has a problem with all three, on the grounds of 'personality'.

His prerogative of course.

Burnwinter

Well it's not exactly a new thing that's popped up now that the three are on our transfer radar, and certainly not for Biggus.

Most of us have disliked Rooney for years (England fans and pathologically rational contrarians aside), Fabregas is disliked by many for effectively striking to get his move to Barcelona, and Suarez is a footballing supervillain.

Of the three Cesc is the only one I actively want, but I can still see there are a couple of cracks in his character.

Timbob

But as far as I am aware you don't want Usmanov to own the club and Mourinho to manage the team.

Clrnc

I know there is still a long way to go in the transfer window, and stranger things have happened this summer, but I am having little to no hope nowadays regarding us making a big move now. Other than Suarez, who is already unrealistic, there are not much exciting options out there to pursue.

This is true. In any case, whether you're talking about Usmanov owning us, Mourinho coaching us, or Rooney or Suarez playing for us, it all feels like the footballing equivalent of picking one of Walder Frey's granddaughters to marry—a deed without a name, a means to an end.

i'm still holding out hope that we'll get higuain in the end. otherwise, it looks like yet another shitty transfer window.
