i doubt money is an issue for us. We could probably afford about 30m net splurge this window and memphis and schneiderlin together probably could get us 40m this window. lindelof has played at RB often and could fill in there if darmian leaves.

I'm not sure I get you, why is that?
I read reports during the Summer transfer window (Authenticity yet to be verified) that said, United would not buy additional players unless some players left the club.
 
Maybe they're paying for his huge potential?
Huge potential for sure. But this price is hilarious. Especially when you look how "well" other diaspora Italians (with huge potential) fared. Barzagli, Immobile, Darmian..or pretty much any Italian in the last 10 years, apart from Verratti. Don't forget, Immobile won the Italian golden shoe before he went abroad.
 
Rakitic is not playing at barca this season. Wont be surprised he leaves. He has not played well whenever he has played.

Unlikely he will leave in Jan though. Already Barca behind Madrid and their midfield options are iniesta Andre Gomes busquets and Denis Suarez if you take him out.
 
Wasn't there a suggestion that Mourinho was aware Rakitić may come available in January - if not in the summer?
 
Oddly enough Rakitic is a player I rate but I also wouldn't mind if he ended up at City. However if they do get someone like Weigl or Modric, that would concern me.
 
Surely City can do better than Rakitic? A better version of Fernandinho for a start.
 
He be there best cm by far if they get him
But that's shortsighted, better now doesn't mean than much.
Remember when posters were desperate for Cabaye with Barton even being mentioned just because we had Cleverly in midfield?
They need a midfield general, not a poor complimentary player such as Rakitic.

We were so desperate for MF upgrades that some people would have taken De Jong when we were linked with him in LVG's first season :lol:
 
Chelsea have called back Ake
City are close to signing Rakitic
We need to sign a midfielder ourselves as Carrick wont be able to play europa and League games. Hope the bakoyko links are true.

:lol: it's city - it's all about fixing leaks, not building better tubes
