I think it's poor business from City, they bought him for £30m which was a panic buy in a January window. They were also paying him £100k a week and he's still only 28 years old, imo Swansea have the better deal.

Yep.
Screams panic buy.
No chance they'd crush their record fee then by bidding twice as much. Sounds like bollocks to me.
Well they're getting up to £40m for Oxlade-Chamberlain and around £60m for Sanchez so Liverpool will have partially funded this move if it happens.
If Arsenal spend 90m on Lemar, and Chelsea spend 45 on Mahrez, then Chelsea, City, Arsenal and Liverpool will have spent more money than United this transfer window.
Meh, if we'd bought him a month ago everyone would be calling it an amazing early buy.
That's the real one.

That won't fit in with the idea Mourinho is simply a cheque book manager.
Nah, not buying it.
He was gettable all summer long
Kagawa is a photoshop
If we end up actually getting him, I'll be super happy.
BBC Sport journalist David Ornstein said earlier that Arsenal have no major money available for a transfer. Now they're bidding £90 million? Guess Sanchez must be off.
Ducker confirms story
Have you watched him recently? He had an absolute stinker of a loan spell at Stoke, I'd be surprised if he reaches 10 goals.
Swansea sign Sanches on loan.
Yep, 55m for Sanchez plus 35m for Oxlade Chamberlain so they've just bid the lot!
So no move to Stoke?
Also doesnt fit with the idea that United can outspend anyone. See? It's a double edged sword statement that anyone can play with...
I don't think anyone was under the illusion we could outspend anyone.
But you didn't, and you've barely been linked with him which indicates you haven't exactly been chasing him all summer.
Then there's his position. Pedro and William both play in his position. I'm not saying ones better than the other, but it's hardly a position you'd need to spend £40m+ on. Just seems you're spending money for the sake of it here.
Well done Swansea. Now let's see what the hype is all about with regular football
It's hardly controversial to try to have 2 good players for each position. We have PL, FA, LC and CL to play this year, and only Hazard, Pedro and Willian for the 2 winger slots, with a youngster as backup. Mahrez would make perfect sense.
I'd certainly like to have him as a panic buy.
Zappacosta is a RB
Wingback option after they failed to sign Aurier or Oxlade-Chamberlain.
I'm curious to see if we re going to be caught completely off guard by the transfer of a big name that has not or barely been mentioned.
But that's how Monaco operate. Find the youngest, yet talented players and guarantee them first team football for a 1 to 3 years then sell them for a massive profit. They'll have players to compete in Ligue 1 and give it a go, but it's not as if the cupboard is suddenly barren.
Is he coming to zap a Costa from the squad?
Someone has been having fun on the wiki page..
"Davide Zappacosta (born 11 June 1992) is an Italian professional footballer who plays as a full-back for Torino and the Italy national team. The Italian name Zappacosta when translated into English means Panic Buy"

Wouldn't trust Torino with RBs...
