Apparently De Jong isn't with the City squad either, rumours he could go to Bayern.
Wonder where Kaka will go? Milan?

According to Rory Smith, we want to eventually knock £500,000 per week off the wage bill. Sounded way too much to me, until you see figures like this (rumoured figures, but probably quite accurate):
Carroll: 80k
Aquilani: 90k
Cole: 110k
Aurelio: 60k
Kuyt: 90k
Maxi: 80k
Doni: 50k
That adds up to £560k a week. I thought Cole was on 90k, but even then it's £540k. Kuyt and Maxi have already gone, so that's around £170,000 already saved. Edit: Plus Aurelio, so £230,000 saved. Then you have other players who have either left or could leave, which would reduce the wages even further:
Downing, Spearing, Wilson, Adam, Eccleston, Bellamy, Gulacsi, Amoo, Darby, Silva - all gone or could go, it adds up.
I don't think all of those will go, but when you see the figures it's not hard to imagine us saving somewhere close to £500,000 if we sell a few players.

There aren't actual bids from any european team.
MLS or Corinthians according to Spanish press. So take it with a grain of salt.

We've been linked with Joe Allen, Moussa Sissoko, Gerard Deulofeu, Kevin Mirallas and probably some more players I've forgotten about.
Zenit and City allegedly want Skrtel. Juventus want RVP AND Suarez, or something.
EDIT: Clint Dempsey as well.
Bayern I think. Shame really, City offered him a really good contract and he's really popular amongst the squad if you look at the City videos he's in. I think Kia has poisoned his mind.
Against Chelsea two seasons ago I think - what a performance. One of the best I've seen from him or any individual City player in quite some time.

I can't imagine nobody else would be in for him. He'll never be great again but he could be good IMO. A club like Arsenal would be a good move for him IMO. I wouldn't even mind him at United if it was something like £15m and not crazy wages. How old is he though? 28?
Kia's his agent?

I would be thrilled with this. I think Jonjo's going to be a class AM, but I don't expect him to make a significant difference in our league campaign this year, where I would expect Allen to do so.
Give him a year at a club that plays good football like United did with Cleverly playing under Martínez and he'll be ready to play a big part in the center of midfield next season.
Fuck sake. Whats happened to the Lucas deal?
Went to Silverstone at the weekend so I've not been able to keep up with it all.
Our wingers are fine as they are but it would of been nice and shown that we can sign these types of players seeing as Chelsea are signing everybody under the sun.
Nani and Tony V will do!

I also believe that a Jonjo loan deal makes sense considering how few appearances he made when he returned from Blackpool. It just seems wasteful to keep him around for a few sub appearances and europa league games, particularly when you consider that he only got his chance due to Lucas being out for half a season and frequent Gerrard injuries that may not occur this season. Not to mention that there may be 2 additional cms to compete with, if both Allen signs & Aquilani stays.
Should neither of those CMs be at the club then one could argue the deal is foolish, otherwise it makes sense to send him on loan for a year and then bring him back to replace Gerrard who would presumably be close to retirement by next season.
Answer depends on how muppet you are.
Fuck!

Its not so bad alhamdulilah, there just isnt much time between iftar and sehri. Apparently the people in Denmark have to fast 21 hours :\
I expect our midfield 3 to be some manner of rotation of any two of Lucas, Allen and Henderson and Spearing, with Gerrard, Adam or Aqua slotting in the front-most position. We're sure to lose at least one of those (personally think it may be one more big injury for Stevie and he hangs up his boots), and Shelvey can then move in there.
I am feeling slightly more confident in Spearing after watching how quickly and how well he fit into the deep-lying pivot position, moving in the space between the two center backs. His passing was excellent.
Full swing after seeing him vs GB.

Come on guys, 2 places left at least
I can take one. Can you enter the same team in both leagues or does it have to be two seperate?
Same team
Mino Raiola "Cavani remains a prisoner of the President (Aurelio De Laurentiis)"

Look who's back
De Laurentiis and Rummage. Two guys I don't like at two clubs I kinda like!

Alright, I'm in then. Not going to win anything though.
Hopefully now that he won the one cup he really wanted he'll stop spending and giving a shit.
yeah, right
More wants more
I'm thankful you ended up wasting money on him instead of Chelsea.
How can you not like De Laurentiis? He's just crazy, but not bad crazy, funny crazy.
I like him as much as you can like a crazy son of a gun.
Also Robinho - he was awesome in his first season at City. Then he got fed up. Some of his goals were awesome.
Imagine him with Silva, Aguero, Nasri & Tevez? Instead he got Benjani and others.
Hey, hey, this is a fudging great winger you're talking about.
FUCK OFF MILOS, WHAT DO YOU EXPECT?! BARCA WON'T COME CALLING!!
Well, I guess that's it then. Mancini wants RVP bad. City will accommodate him, no doubt.
HURRY, MAROTTA, HURRYYYY!!!!111
It worked out great for Hamsik! He wanted to go to Milan badly last year, now look at him. His spirit broken, he'll stay at Napoli forever. And he'll like it.
I'm sure Graham Carr will find some Nigerian wunderkind playing in the Austrian second division, you'll be fine.
I refuse to believe any shitty media outlet reporting such garbage.
We'll get Debuchy, don't you doubt that.

Oh come on. It was in all the trailers. Trailer stuff =/= spoilers.
But..
I don't watch trailers.
I'm kidding by the way
I'm just worried about Kyoufu's mental health here.You absolutely have to ignore the more famous GAF members' opinions. Some bollocks is spouted in movie OTs.
Someone link me to the Being Liverpool trailer, pls.
Trailer stuff = spoilers
hence why people choose not to watch them.
I remember a trailer I watched that basically had the whole film summed up in 2 minutes lol
I hope so...
We have made no senior signings.
I'm not watching next season if we're still stuck with Danny fucking Simpson.

I remember when Liverpool were on the verge of signing Dani Alves from Sevilla. He was all prepared to move here and the fee was in close to being agreed. However Rick Parry decided that the extra 1-2 million demanded by Sevilla was not worth it and the deal was called off. Sevilla wanted £14million.
Still, it all worked out in the end when just a few years later Liverpool signed Glen Johnson for £18million.
i do actually think Johnson is a great right back, but still...
I'm sure things will end up just as good for Newcastle!
