They've gone full West Ham with their transfer leaks.

That doesn't negate my opinion, though. If City worked on the deal for 2 months, then they finished the deal early and waited for the end of the season to finalise it, so no competition also.
I'd love to see him go to Dortmund, he could be their main #9 with Auba moving on and it would be an ideal club for him to develop at.
I agree with this, similar to the way Kante was signed. Jose called Kante to ask him to come to OT, but he said in an interview that when Jose called he was already deep into talks with Conte starting at least a month prior.
City most likely started talks with Monaco players when they played them in the CL. They didnt have to wait for a break in the schedule of both teams so got a head start.
Don't think he's ready to directly replace the leading goalscorer in the Bundesliga yet, though I agree a potential move to Dortmund would be great for him.
I agree that it would be a bit risky but Dortmund are a team that can afford to take a risk with a young player.
If it's true they are buying 2 fullbacks to play he's system i.e. Fullbacks/Central midfielders then I think he's gonna get found out.
Any how feck city I've had enough of those cnuts that's all I keep reading.
Makes no sense. You can reverse the logic and say a deal signed in September means there was loads of competition, the two things don't correlate.
Regardless, if there was no competition that was a great thing for City because he looks a top player by all accounts.
Really hope we get some juicy, worth-while tweets this week. There's been a fair bi of dire, non-United related ones this weekend.
It seems to me that many of the foreign journalists are getting us and city confused. I think they see the name Manchester and automatically think us, but sometimes it turns out to be city instead.
I don't think we ever wanted silva, the way city wrapped him up so quickly was like it was done ever since he smashed them at the etihad.
I wouldn't be surprised if the 130m euro offer was from us, city don't need him with Jesus and aguero. I guess we will see what happens.

He still had more wc players than United or Arsenal...
Makes no sense in what ? Do you believe Monaco will sell one of its best players for only 43m pound if the deal wasn't done early ? If there was a competition no chance they would have sold him for such a price. They could have easily milked him to death, to 50-60m or something like that.
The fact that the player deal was done that early and for such a price proves the deal was accepted early on and they just finalize it once the season ends.
Yet won less.
Exactly.
130 million bid turned down and we thought we could get him for 85 million
So they're suggesting we've made an offer for Sidibe?
We were rumoured to have bid that weeks before that city bid.
Back to the tweets 
Well he's an agent so you still probably did the right thing.
Like telling a duck not to quack
You can bet your mortgage if any non-English club asked for him it would be £30m max.
Adding Richard Marrow to the banned list.
30M should be the value of Perisic.
Take The Mirror off, they're in Daily Mail/Telegraph league nowadays.
Is that a good thing ?
They're refusing 130 million for 18 year old Mbappe? Fecking 'ell. Maybe Mourinho was onto something when he said Pogba would seem a bargain in the coming years as transfers get even crazier.
Euros maybe, not pounds. West Ham just sold Payet last summer for a ~30 million euros. And for me, Payet is class above Perisic.
e. January, not last summer.

Looks like a load of speculation bollocks that based on rumours of Monaco players heading to Manchester. Even if Canal are reliable, I don't think that's intended to be an article confirming any offers. Just highlighting the fact a lot of Monaco players could end up in Manchester.
I probably could've said that in a lot less words but I'm fecking knackered
Well Daily Mail/Telegraph aren't on the ban list. The Mirror went with remain in the referendum, I'd vouch for them on that alone even if the likes of Simon Mullock weren't more reliable on transfers than most in the elite three.
So, we overpay for an average player to help fund a smaller club (imo) to get a quality player, who they'd probably get for a smaller fee. Wonderful
Canal + trying to show us they do know the difference between Utd and cityThe Monreal rumour has been around for a while.
That is 90 million euros + bonuses already spent by city.
Also the reason why Duncan baldy castles is so quiet is because city are dealing with his masters the Gestifute agency. They are making loads of money from these transfers and Duncan has to shut up right now. I am sure he will be back to boil some piss soon.
Robson reckons he's got the low down on Mou's list
