Lol I have my fingers crossed. I've noticed a few more of us coming out of the woodwork recently.

KDB is a target that I don't think we'll get, I'd rather have Isco for 25 mil pounds less. Other than one more big midfielder signing, which will either be one of the two mentioned above more than likely, I'm not really sure what's left. We've made a big splash thus far, and aside from maybe 1-2 other smaller moves I think we're nearing the end of our business as buyers. The only other move I could see City making a play for is a CB.

Will give Isco and $$ for Kun....otherwise I think Isco stays put.

Which means Isco stays put cause there ain't a snowballs chance in hell that Citeh lets Aguero go by choice.

Yeah, lol. I don't see Aguero going anywhere.

No way. The Denayer contract almost certainly means he's been promised first team time. Demi was the best CB last season, no reason to drop him. Mangala was the second best CB. So unless Kompany is leaving there are no spots. I think all those CB rumors are just people dropping City's name are leverage.

Also no way Isco leaves Real, imo. I would prefer him to KDB only because he's willing to play CM and do a little defending. But I honestly think that ship has sailed with this probably being Pelles last season.

At this point I'm still Pogba or bust. Much like Sterling he ticks every box the team needs (as long as he is in fact homegrown). There is no amount of money I think is too much for him because of that.

I agree totally with this, but I just don't think he wants to come here.

You think he's worth more than 35 mil pounds?

I don't see it happening, but think you make every effort you can.

Pellegrini likes to have four forwards so if they sell Jovetic and Dzeko, I can see adding one to go with Aguero, Bony and Iheanacho. I think Enes Unal gets a loan. Although, with Silva and Sterling able to play there it might no longer be as important.

I honestly hope Fabian Delph breaks both legs 5 minutes into the season. He is the most disrespectful piece of shite human being I've ever had the displeasure of following. I wish him nothing but the worst. He should die in a fire.

That escalated quickly.....I put the blame on Villa for putting an 8 mil release clause in his contract. That was just idiotic.

Just stopping in to say I am going to try and post more this season. I have lurked this board hard for a few years.

How do we feel about the 4-3-3 that is being run in preseason?

In!

Will have to find a new City following in my new town. I kind of hope we can do a little more in the transfer market before the season starts. KDB would be awesome. Kompany better be improved this season. And hopefully we can either win our UCL group or at least not get Barca in round of 16.

Mourinho says De Bruyne couldn't handle the pressure at Chelsea.

Classic Mou.

A friend of mine started an official City supporters group in Myrtle Beach. He's since moved to California so I'm not sure if it's still going (or how much good that would do you in Charleston).

Give me KDB and go balls to the walls for Pogba. Worst thing that can happen is he says no.

KDB has amazing vision and could learn from Silva.

Same with Pogba and Toure.

If we don't get Pogba and HAVE to buy another CM then I like Koke.

Tielemans for the future.
