Oh lord, it’s doomed.

 

£12m and a packet of Walkers. Final offer, take it or leave it.

 

Cancelo has been being act like a dick behind the scenes is the rumors coming out now, seeing some pretty trusted City reporters saying more will be coming out about it. He got his spot taken by an 18 year old and had a fallen out with most of the squad it seems. We have kept players on who wanted to leave until the summer before like Sane, so something behind in the scenes is getting the club to move faster on this.

 

Can Porro play both sides? Because it looks like Kyle Walker is off to Fenerbahce, apparently. That might force City into the market even more.

 

There is no way that happens. We would have two true fullbacks in the squad then, one being 18 and the other 23. I mean the reports are out now that we are not looking at replacing Cancelo...not that I believe those either.

 

what an odd transfer

 

It's been bubbling beneath the surface for a bit now. I figured it would get to the summer and the club would do there normal, you are not happy anymore then we will sell you.

 

I remember a couple years ago there were rumors of Spurs trying to buy Cancelo from City because the player wasn’t happy. So I guess there had always just been slight tension around him and the club for some reason.

 

Yeah supposedly he is a hothead and that is coming from the club side and national team side.

 

Good news for Bielsa to USMNT hopes

 

I think it’s gone under the radar that Forest are buying a ton of players again this window. Or at least trying to.

 

Is he even suited to a 4-4-2?

 

Gallagher rumour shot down already.

 

Player agreed to contract with Spurs. The two clubs agreed to a deal. Spurs even agreed to let him play in their cup final before completing the deal. Player was told he was leaving. He said his goodbyes. And now Sporting want to block it? Porro needs to put in the official transfer request.

 

Southampton signing Moussa Dembele (not the ex-Spurs one) for as little as £3m.

*rage quits*

 

Got a good laugh out of this. Never change Mo, never change.

 

Spurs should activate the release clause on Marcus Edwards as soon as the Porro thing is settled. Just to stick it to Sporting.

 

Uhh ok

 

Planning my City jersey with Jedi on the back already.

Though he is kind of weird fit for what we do with our fullbacks.

 

The streak is over

 

"I can say that I like a lot their style of play. Why? Because they play clear 4-4-2. I was born 4-4-2 with Arrigo Sacchi as player and assistant" said the then Blues manager when quizzed for his thoughts on Burnley's style of play. "Burnley explain really well how you have to play 4-4-2. What can I say? He (Dyche) is a good guy. We have spent some time before games but nothing more but I respect the style of play of Burnley and I like it a lot. They are not inventing a new football but they are playing a really good 4-4-2. Because football is already invented, a long time ago and I think that managers that think they invent football, they are wrong."
