Another mercenary who chose money over Pep. There are many of them these days you need to start thinking football is going in the wrong direction. It's absurd they are choosing money over Pep.

City spend 100m on 2 wingbacks but were priced out over Jorginho? Yeah ok.
Please please be true
Its quite normal for big clubs to pay big for players they want but try to penny pinch on squad players. Jorginho was to rotate with Fernandinho and replace him after 1 season. Unfortunately City aren't a big club.
He wanted to play it last year too.
Isn't that bit too cheap?
He's just 31 (he turned 31 just two months back) and before this season was considered as the best CB on the planet with even City chasing him.
How has he been playing this past year? Has he declined?
Did Serri and Napoli part on good terms? There were times it didn't appear so. It seems strange that they are being reported to have pushed Jorghino to Serri. Have City p***ed Napoli off?
Their media narrative is hilarious. Poor Jorginho, forced against his will to go Chelsea and not City.
Not watched him play but AC Milan have financial problems so need to sell. I'm assuming he's on high wages for them too.
I guess Chelsea offered a few millions more, so whatever the relationship between the Board and the manager was, they both had a common "enemy" now-City.
Yeah I read about that but 25,26 million pounds is very cheap. I expect them to demand way more than that
Will mean we will not get a RW in though. No room for one in a 352.
Is La Repubblica reliable?
Cue the Money over Pep reports.....
Explains why we've never really been linked for 1.
Dalot will provide some good natural width.
This was what I was getting at, thanks Peacemachine!!
Some posters in here are far too sensitive and cannot take someone with opposing views.
United need to step up their activity in the market now Blind has gone.
I am sure many fans will not be happy since it will seem like our lack of firepower is not addressed if this happens. Moving to any formation with 2 upfront will help all our attackers though, especially Martial and Rashford.
Great signing. He's the closest clone to Xavi I have seen in years but he's amazing with both of his feet and his version is as good as anyone in the world. Can pick out a pass to unlock a defence for fun.
Glad City didn't buy him, he'd have added an extra dimension to their attack
That quoted price for Bonucci is so cheap, even if it doesn't go brilliantly, we've not been burnt too badly.
You seem quite sure of this as I've seen a few similar posts by you recently. Has he, or anyone else who would genuinely know, actually gone on record saying this or are you just speculating based on our supposed transfer targets over the past year?
Strange how after years and years of outspending everyone else they have suddenly found a concious and decided to not spend insanely
You also compared Ander Herrera to Tom Cleverley, which is absurd.
An AC Milan fan in this reddit thread from 2015 compared them to the Guardian.

I googled them and it doesn't seem like they report on transfers that much. They had a story in 2016 that Mourinho was interested in Pjanic.
Amongst the best in Italy....
Mundo Deportivo are reporting that Raiola has offered Pogba to Barcelona and that he wants to leave
Surely bollocks no?
If not Pogba needs to get rid of that pizza delivering bastard as soon as possible...getting tired of these games

Funny that. I've seen him live and he was the worst player on the pitch.
Opinions and all that
Against England at Wembley or against City in the Champions League? I didn't think he performed great in either of those games but was excellent throughout the Serie A season. If he adjusts to England (and he should because his game is based on fast tempo) then he'll be one of the signings of the season for me
I wouldn’t believe that. City just making stuff up to make themselves feel better. If he wanted to join City he would have joined them. City need to just take it on the chin. He works well with Sarri and wanted that to continue and to play in London. Small time clubs are so see through.
Looks like money wins again, Pep. #moneyorpep
Mundo Deportivo are total garbage. I've never seen them once in 10 years print anything that was true. Same goes for other Catalan paper Sport. No idea why Barcelona can't produce a reliable football reporting outlet. Madrid have the likes of AS and Marca and they are usually pretty good and trustworthy.
City is pathetic with this shit now. Every player who rejects them in fact wanted to go there but is forced to go in other club.
So City chase these players for months and then suddenly decide to give up and let them join another club? Who the feck do they think they are fooling
I read that Chelsea were in for him for a while, and when there first target was unavailable then they turned to Jorginho.
Love the preparing part... Woodward sitting in his office counting the money to make sure it's the correct amount
Trust me when I say that sooner or later all the top clubs will be in for Škriniar. The problem however is that Inter most likely won't let him go for anything less than 70-80m maybe even more.
Further up the page the same guy Stone is claiming City backed away so exactly what is coming as news to City here? So full of shit
