Ancelotti suggested Galliani to sign Diego Lopez on a loan: we already have an agreement with Real according to Di Marzio, but we're still looking for one with Lopez. I don't think we'll end up signing him but if we do (and that's a big if) it would be such an upgrade over our current GKs that's just sad.
The only good match played by Constant that I can remember is the Juve game at San Siro a couple of years ago. We won 1-0 and he faced Isla with so much class that he was almost like a real football player. Sure, that was Isla, but still.

Yeah, I didn't think Southampton would resist so strongly especially after Schneiderlin tweeted that stuff. But once they sign some players it will happen.

Glazers selling 4m more shares. Below current market price too - interesting.
Sad how it's just a footnote in the thought of most United fans now. They've won.

Echo are reporting that Manquillo is done. Two year loan with a £5m option to buy at the end. No mention of Sevilla having a buy-back clause.

Loads of gubbins on Twitter last night about him having a medical at Alexandria Hospital in Cheadle.
It was debunked unfortunately:
Simon Mullock @MullockSMirror · 11h
Man City source tells me rumour of Mangala having a medical at the Alexandria is just that - a rumour. "No truth in it" was the exact phrase
That credible Portugues journalist said he's in Manchester though.

Mauricio "Juve are just a stepping stone on my way to Real Madrid" Isla
The difference between QPR and Real Madrid is irrelevant. Same amount of trophies, international recognition, world class players. Actually, Carlo should be ashamed he didn't make a move to grab such a talented player.
isla lol
Rumours that Remy might sign a new contract at QPR. loooooooooooooooooooooooooool
Forgot Newcastle played Huddersfield yesterday. Janmaat's first game and Riviere still scoring. Love him already. Cabella's got major gonads too. Scored a lovely goal yesterday and his second in 3 games I think.
A recurring theme is emerging though - defensively we haven't changed at all. We're still fucking crap despite our huge improvement offensively. I honestly would love a new CB and LB (if Pardew won't start Haidara). Lascelles won't be ready until at least the following season.

Fuck rumours I'm sick of them.
I thought Mangala already did all that. Didn't the City OS accidentally post an interview with him?
Yes :loool

Lampard trains with City for the first time today. He will wear the number 18 jersey.
Business time, definitely.
Rodwell should target a return to medium speeds on the treadmill. Shut up about the England squad.

Why would Sevilla have a buy back when he came from Atletico? Huh? Why? Can you tell me?
He's there to fill a quota, like all their English players.
Because Aspas.
idk
This rumoured Reus release clause. If true, I'm assuming this is the one that comes into play next summer?

Doing it at that pace god damn
Very sad. I think I have even lost my green and gold scarf although I did find an old Ronaldo one the other day.

Are they that desperate for money?
It is intriguing how much of the club they've given away now. Not too far off a fifth. Still 98% of voting rights mind.

Ah didn't see this, but the main issue for me is the lack of youth. What good is signing all these past-it players when we could be winning all these leagues with young players, and maybe we'd have a decent squad once we're challenging Celtic, right now they'll all be just about retiring.
Or at least start playing them once we've won the league with about two months to play.

With how Levy is with money I'm surprised he didn't keep Harry around longer, they could have learnt so much from each other.
I wonder though, I mean if Barcelona wants to sell Messi for 50 cents, they can, right?
This does give Swansea a bad name though imo, I would never do business with them again if I was the chairman of Utrecht.
Monaco and Porto did the same thing with Joao Moutinho didn't they?
Who was the 3rd party then?
Sporting had 25% sell-on.
And Sporting didn't get anything in the end?

We did but less than he was worth. Monaco bought Moutinho and James at the same time so they overpaid for James and underpaid for Moutinho.
That was what was reported at the time. Monaco bought James and Moutinho from Porto for 70mil, supposedly 35 for Moutinho and 45 for James. However the deal was then structured to be 69mil for James and 1mil for Moutinho, thus cutting out Sporting.
Though I don't know if Sporting ever challenged that or anything.
Ah I see, then this is a different case.
It wasn't that bad. Porto didn't want to make it look that bad so they made it 45M for James and 25M for Joao Moutinho.
Sporting had a 25% clause of the profit made on the sale (Porto bought him for 10M) so they only made 3.75M.

That was not the case. Porto were always forced to sell him for atleast 20 M or they would have to pay us the amount of money we would get if he was sold by 20m.

I see, the original story did always seem a little too ridiculous to be true.

Most tedious saga ever. Reports his dodgy knee holding things up, that Juve are being difficult, pictures of him 'looking sad% on tour, so much bullshit. Can't wait for September 1st.
Strange being heavily linked with players again, went through a two week dry speel where the press couldnt be bothered, guess Gaals comments sparked them up again. Could still seriously end up with no-one though.

At least an end will be in sight!!!Transfer deadline day? Like that'd be any better.
Edit: no, he won't. He is not leaving, I would bet my life on it.
