He scored 1 or 2 (or 3 or 4) against Spurs. Let him stay in Rome.
Newcastle?United
Newcastle?
West Ham?Come on now, there's only one United that City fans focus on. [emoji3]

Or Bristol City .....Of course, just like the only City that counts for United fans is York City [emoji3]
The Dzeko + Emerson Palmieri deal has been touted for about a week or so at least on the Chelsea blogs. Bizarrely Dzeko is seen as a joke on some of those. Despite the fact that he made our defence look amateur in at least one of our recent ties with Roma! I’d take him in a heartbeat and the combined price for the two looks ok in the current climate.
@Andy did you mention the over 30 age policy? If so you’d be right and it’s raising a few eyebrows on Chelsea blogs etc... and could potentially be seen as Abramovich and the board trying to placate Conte by breaking their own “rules” to secure him. What is clear is that currently we have no in-form senior strikers (and no point in once again getting into the youth conversation as it is futile) and I’d gladly take him over Caroll or Crouch.

Looks like its a done deal 57m or so
Manchester City agree club-record £57m deal for Aymeric Laporte

Only £57m? What about adding his wages and Emirati Falafel supplier sponsorship money to the total cost or is that just for United players (Sanchez)?
Great player and will probably be worth every cent. City have gone from one of the cheapest defences in the premierleague to the most expensive. However, it needed investment.
I don't watch much football outside of the premier league so no idea what Laporte is like.
The general consensus here is that he's a great buy, but at 23 and never winning a full international cap, just how good is he?
Phil Jones has many full international caps, ditto Chris Smalling - both ****
I've never heard anyone refer to either of those as great players. As I said, I've no idea if Laporte is a quality player having never seen him, but if he was that good surely he'd be part of the French national team.
What type of player is he?
He was courted by City a few years ago but the move didn’t come off think we got Mangala instead !!
No he just reckoned his dogs didn’t like the badge but now it’s changed he’s ok with itBloody agents fees.
