Delighted to say that Isco seems to have choosen Real Madrid. That's one that City have missed out on. Hopefully now we can press ahead with a move for Di Maria and not Gaitan.

If Real do get Isco they might also believe that Ronaldo is dispensible.

Fresh, use your noggin mate. Now City have probably missed out on Isco, Di Maria will move to City.

Sydney!

I don't get why we aren't in for him. We'd give him the first team football as he'd easily start ahead of young and zaha, probably Valencia too if he doesn't regain his form.

Why will Di Maria definitely move to City? You say it like we have no pull in the market whatsoever.

Cos DiMaria is a mercenary

Di Maria is next on City's radar after Isco. PSG have a €20m offer on the table already. City not getting Isco has made it even harder to get Di Maria now.

Sydney!

Probably Valencia?! Lol

Couldn't give a monkeys about Di Maria, genuinely, if we want to compete in Europe need to move away from targeting what the other giants consider not quite good enough! Yes Di Maria is a good player, has he excelled at Madrid? No, so do we want him? No! I would prefer to take a chance on a top top player who hasn't had the chance to prove it at a top club rather than a player at a top club who hasn't excelled!

Just bare in mind guys that City thought Isco was nailed on, just like we think Thingo is. Things can change really quickly these days. Don't get the comment on De Maria being a mrecenary, it seems like it's Real's idea that he goes. Of course I hope that we get our man and City don't get anyone of consequence.

To no name, there's plenty of players who for reasons unknown have not been succeeded at big clubs, moved and have become great players Henry and Vieira spring to mind and they didn't turn out bad!

Sydney! once again you're very definate in your posts and dismissive of others. is this inside knowledge or just mere assumptions?

It's worth city going in for the Maria if they don't get isco. Not too fussed if we don't get him. I think the only person worth getting and playing on The left would be bale. Regardless of other signings, him and bale would take us to another level

J, I have been dismissive of anyone's post. City will look to Di Maria now they have missed out on Isco. That is no secret, the editor made it clear weeks ago. I haven't said he will not join us, just that it will be much harder to sign him now due to City's interest.

Sydney!

Players that didn't make it at big clubs but became great. Guisseppe Rossi and Gerrard Pique

Sydney! don't believe everything you read or hear. So the editor said it weeks ago! Do they really know? Who are the editors, do you know? I don't. The only people who know are the players, the clubs and the players representatives, who have a habit of putting mis-information out through certain sources for their own benefit. This is a rumour site, and a very good one, but that's all the posts are. rumours including, dare I say, yours. Here's a rumour for you. A very good friend of mine holds a position at the Bridgewater clinic. He's not a football fan, but knows that I am, so he's told me that the clinic has been put on 24 hrs notice by Utd for 2 CAT 'A' medicals. CAT 'A' apparently is a term used for the security required. Now, Sydney! do you believe me or not? Am I telling the truth or just a bit of mis-information. Great site Ed's.

J, I think Ed002 has more than proved himself to be legit and he has said that City are interested in Di Maria. Like I have said, I am not saying he will choose City over us, just saying it makes it more difficult for us that City do want him.

As for your rumour, I would give you the benefit of doubt as I have no reason to disbelieve it. I certainly wouldn't dismiss it as nonsense. However Ed002 has more than proven he is legit and does have very good sources. I have no reason to doubt him.

Sydney!

Sydney! Good answer. You certainly have more experience of this site than me and if you say that Ed002 has a proven track record then who am I to disagree. I'm just sceptical by nature.

J - Stand

Sydney can you tell us more about this track record is it the same track record that said we were getting pep and moyes was never in for the managers job

Eds is there any interest from us in Paulinho as and is it true that Spurs are reportedly close to signing him?

Shahram

We've got 2 v. good midfielders in place for next season, defence needs work!

We have no interest in signing him

Melwing28

Paulinho will be at Spurs next season

Defence? Defence is fine, we need a decent winger since young is squad player quality, Valencia has been in poor form for long enough to be worrying, Zaha isn't ready for 1st choice, Nani is inconsistent as ever and Kagawa is wasted out wide. Nani at least needs replacing, maybe even Valencia too.
