He would certainly start for us. The Portuguese background. And all that. But yeah. Too much money for sure.Think you've got a bit of (Mourinho) shit in your eyes fella. City operate at a level beyond us = £65M...

Don’t you dareSkriniar is gone. We only offered loan and now moving on to back up targets.
Obviously haven't watched him enough.
Is this still the case, given he's playing football tonight?Skriniar looking very good
agreed-ish!!!!
Just wondering, where'd did you see him play? Mainz, BVB or PSG? I ask because I've not seen him much at PSG but I did previously. And if you saw him at BVB quite often he was played at LB.Probably about 10 times to be honest. Obviously could be wrong but being pretty bang average 10 times out of 10 is pretty strong.
He is though isn't he and that's what I think Jose wants him for? He will sit deep and break up play. He's not particularly creative but will recycle quickly and give it to someone else.It's more that Hojbjerg isn't a defensive midfielder.
Unless you are the very lucky with the make up of your team then that's what every team needs. Not everyone can be a creative flair player.Let's give him a chance. He's not what we wanted/dreamed of, but at the same time I think he's what we needed ie a fighter a la Mousa. We've got plenty other guys to do the fancy flair stuff, but when it gets tough, you need a PEH. Maybe he's gonna be a Scotty P type player for us. I didn't want Parks in the slightest when we got him...ended up adoring him. Was never sexy but he sure had the wettest shirt each game. That's what PEH can do for us
After Roman denies us Rudiger, you think we'll fancy Mustafi?Don’t you dare
You don’t need to educate me about Zanetti. He was an unreal RB, he wasn’t a great CB. There’s really no debate there.First, Zanetti was an unbelievable player, regardless of position. He had it all. And you'll find that although he mostly played as a FB, he also played as a CB. You're welcome
Pal, Dele is a pretty bad character, but you can't crap on all the good stuff he did on the pitch til about 18 months ago. He was pretty phenomenonal his first couple years. Maybe should've sold him for 50 mil then but we weren't to know he was gonna become useless on the pitch and such a problem off it. I do agree that it's best for all involved that he goes now, but who's gonna take him? DL sure won't let him go to a competitor in the PL and Dele's too proud to go to a So'ton or the likes. Personally I'd defo have tried for a straight swap with Juve for Dybala - both on loan - but Dyb's wages would've been an issue, as always. Not really realistic now we've got Bale, but how amazing if DL was to work that kind of magic before 5th Oct?! Dyb and a quality CB and we're right back in the top 4 convoNo no no no no no, this window is about ridding ourselves of his and his brother's stench and replacing them with actual footballers. News of these deals will complete the window for me.
Much rather he stayed in the PL. Outside the top 2 the SPL is League 1 quality at best. It’s too big a step down for him.Sessegnon spending a full season on Celtic would be great for him

Tierney played SPL his whole career and has taken to the PL fine. It’s more about him playing and feeling good about his football.Much rather he stayed in the PL. Outside the top 2 the SPL is League 1 quality at best. It’s too big a step down for him.

I genuinely thought that was what he was bought to do although I know everyone has a different idea of what a defensive midfielder should be.
You sound like such a nice chapYou don’t need to educate me about Zanetti. He was an unreal RB, he wasn’t a great CB. There’s really no debate there.
Well if Trix says we are reasonably close on transfer fee and wages are agreed-ish its done. Nothing could possibly go wrong. I'm now off to get Skriniars face tatooed on my back.
Yeah, we're gonna disagree on Dele. I would literally send him to our most direct rivals for our most coveted objective...THAT's what I think about Dele. He's the player he always was but now without the goals. And yes, I was calling for selling back when "we weren't to know" too. Awful footballer.Pal, Dele is a pretty bad character, but you can't crap on all the good stuff he did on the pitch til about 18 months ago. He was pretty phenomenonal his first couple years.
