Lee On Solent Saint

He's only 16. How can his pathway be blocked at that age?

Surely not Mauro Icardi?

Don't think that at all. Possibly worth a punt at half that amount, but for 20m, no thanks.

Good to see other teams getting their pants pulled down by City for a change.

Interested why you think the Scottish lads are any good? Do you watch much Scottish football? Shankland has spent his career playing in a tinpot league, not even for Rangers or Celtic. Surely if he was any good either one of those two would have picked him up?

Fan's will have tears on their pillows if it doesn't come off

Hand on my heart, I really can't see this transfer coming off.

Quick glance at that and I thought it said unknown Metz midfielder

Like I said above, if I was playing professional, I'd want to play as many games as I could.

That's true enough. I guess I've always has the mindset that if I was a pro footballer I'd want to play as many games as I possibly could.

My thought was centred around the fact that after the injuries, he would have wanted to play more games. He's hardly played a stack load of games after leaving us.

I know football is a short career etc, but I can't help wondering at the point Ings retires, and he looks back on his career does he really think he has achieved much. I know he played at Liverpoool etc and had a few nasty injuries, but it seems he has put money before playing actual games.

Would be a more logicial. I hope.

But those guys could actually play as well. Tends to help massively.

One down, 325 to go

Staggering that he has been so overlooked by England.

Twats at petrol stations who only fill up with pumps that are on the right side of their petrol caps. Even if it means queing for ten minutes. Knob jockeys.

Lane

Talk about dropping a hand grenade in and walking away.

Mate

I get the standing by his players, but what he didn't need to say was that Baz was going to be the best keeper in the league.

Pretty sure Sessegnon got released by Spurs? Also Johnson has left West Ham as out of contract.

Am normally a bit meh to Coldplay, but when Michael J Fox came on stage, that was a great moment.

I'd be massively underwhelmed by Delap. We have to find better than just these City players. If he is the best our recruitment team can come up with, we might as well just give up now.

Guess the point I was trying to make was how over inflated transfer fees have become. Not sure if its because of FFP/PSR but when you are paying 35m for a bang average midfielder who can't even get a game for his club, something has gone very wrong.
