seeing city complete the deal for sane made me realise how straight forward the transfer process can be when the player actually wants to move!

{Ed004's Note - What? They've been trying for months to sign him}

Ed to be fair they have tracked him for months and now evetually got their man.

They seem to pretty persistent in the respect they know who they want and will push for a deal until it happens. Much like Stones who I feel will also evetually head to Eastlands.

{Ed004's Note - And fair play to them. However, that post made it sound like they just went and signed him without having to put in a load of effort. If Pogba signs or not people will complain about how long the saga went on for but Sanes went on for close to the same amount of time and it was a far less complicated deal}

Ed I see what your saying but I thought the poster was meaning that City earmarked Sane early and were persistent enough to see the deal through.

Do you think the Pogba deal will happen?

{Ed004's Note - That's no problem and yes I do now}

alright maze! i suppose what i was getting at was how in the public domain the whole pogba transfer is and i suppose that is the reason why it seems to be going on 4 ages. Yes city tracked sane for a long time but all we heard about that transfer was the odd time there was quote or a small caption in a red top. there wasn't a journo in his speedo's asking questions at a pool party. just think our transfer dealings post fergie/ david gill have been far to public.

{Ed004's Note - Ed Woodward and Mourinho haven't spoken about Pogba in the media. It's simply because putting Pogba and Manutd news on the papers back pages will sell more than Sane to man city}

Cannot see how our transfers are any more public Jock?
ADM was in pretty quickly, as were Falcao, and martial without months of redtop garbage!
Bailly, micky in pretty quick as well but the zlatan and Pogba deals sell papers by innuendo rather than fact. Since fergie / Gill we must have been linked with over 200 deals according to the media when if the truth be known we couldve seriously been interested in 10% of them. Given that we completed over 50% of that figure, I would say we are probably more astute and secretive than before.

And there you have it. Big difference between sane and pogba. Raiola knew it would be a massive headline.

What agent tweets about a deal?

City quietly going about their business and signing some very high quality players that will be there for years to come.

They have signed a couple of good ones.
