Oh wow I stand corrected. I remember him tweeting this summer about him trying to improve his english, maybe he meant writing...

I think that was because he felt he'd been misinterpreted when speaking to the press in English, he was joking about how he might need to brush up on it. For me, it's part of the reason he'd be my preference for a centre back signing. We could really do with someone at the back with his quality and experience but also his ability to lead and guide others, we've got so many young defenders and the likes of McNair, Blackett and even Jones could really do with someone with authority who can communicate with them.
 
So who is their backup keeper? Cech deserves a bigger role than what he has at Chelsea right now, but they're playing a dangerous game if they don't buy someone. Wonder if Hilario is willing to cash a cheque again for doing nothing
 
The Italian league becomes something like the "autum/winter of the career-league." I am sure not everybody there likes this.
 

Because they have a midfield spot opening up...?!
 

Angel Di Maria has been speaking to Radio America and inevitably Manchester United came up. The former Real Madrid player is enjoying himself since moving from La Liga and said that the club wanting him and fans singing in support of him has been something he's enjoyed. In Argentina for the national team Di Maria feels there's too much pressure and even when the country does well, like getting to the World Cup final, there's always people ready to knock the players down.

"Thank God I have the opportunity to be in big clubs. Things got better for me, I got better. Being in big clubs makes you get used to these things. That they sing my name or 'Argentina Argentina' fills me with pride."

Di Maria was pressed on Ronaldo returning to Manchester United and how it feels to now wear the same shirt his former teammate did. The pair were close at Real Madrid and Ronaldo often fought the corner of Di Maria as Florentino Perez tried to marginalise him at the club. Di Maria would of course like to play with Ronaldo again but thinks a move would be difficult and unlikely.

"I don't think he's coming to Manchester. It's hard to quit Real Madrid, Maybe, but I think he's having a great time and I don't see that he wants to change."

Di Maria already thinks he's a great footballer beside him in teammate Wayne Rooney and said "Rooney is an amazing player. With a quality mindset and desire to play every game that is unmatched. He plays every game 90 minutes.... He's a player who deserves to be here."
 
"Di Maria feels there's too much pressure and even when the country does well, like getting to the World Cup final, there's always people ready to knock the players down."

Clearly, he doesn't read the Caf...
 
Surely they won't spend 30m on Bony? I know there aren't many top strikers about but 30 million? :lol:
 
Swansea did pay £12 million and he's had quite a decent record since coming to the PL so it's not a surprise that the fee is a bit inflated, especially when City are involved. It will most likely rise to that figure with add-ons but his signing will mean that Negredo and Dzeko can be shifted.
 
He is £30m a) because Swansea don't need to sell. b) it's City and Swansea know they can ask whatever they want and c) let's be honest, the guy is proven in this league, he scores goals that could see them win the league.
 
Wasn't Bony the highest goalscorer in the league in 2014? He won't go cheap
 
Bony is a good player but he's not a "top" player, certainly not one for a team like City and definitely not at that price. Always thought he was more Southampton/Spurs/Everton level of player rather then top 4 or title.
So yeah, not bothered about them wasting that 30m.

Could have signed him for £19m in the summer.
 
Swansea will have to spend the money wisely, they should be safe this season, but if they don't get a good goalscorer they could be in serious trouble next season.
