I think this would always be the case. The record is £50m isn't it? I saw Maguire was linked to Everton/Spurs yesterday for £22m (& he only has a year left on his contract!) I think we should hold out for £60m the way this window is going.

If he's going to go, I sincerely hope it's to a team that pays silly money. I don't really want another slow drip-feed process of Liverpool bidding low, then re-bidding a tiny bit higher etc. You know the drill.

SSN: Man City are in advance talks to sign Benfica goalkeeper Ederson on a deal worth in the region of £45m. (If City do want Virgil, they aren't going to f*ck around with low bids with how pro-active they have been so far!)

Well that was a bloody good read.

- Romeu replaced Cork. - Clasie replaced Morgan. - Nobody really replaced Vic. (Hojbjerg possibly, but he's not remotely like him).

Pellegrini press conferences are hardly a carnival, Bats.

Any idea why?

City signing Bernardo Silva doesn't do him any favours....

SSN: WEST HAM BID FOR IHEANACHO West Ham have made an offer for Man City striker Kelechi Iheanacho, according to Sky sources. Man City value him at £20m with several other Premier League clubs also interested. http://www.skysports.com/football/news/11685/10896393/west-ham-make-offer-for-man-citys-kelechi-iheanacho

http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/saints/news/15314381.GOSSIP__Saints_linked_with_Dutch_defender_Ridgeciano_Haps/?ref=rss Great name. Dutch left-back.

The remarkable thing about the Caceres signing was that a 60+ cap, ex-Barca & Juventus player lost out on a starting place to an academy player* in Stephens. * yes, I know he was really a Plymouth academy player.

Linked with Leicester today.

Arsenal will have landed somebody who looks awesome.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yal9Imn2ttg&sns=tw

I endorse that. I mentioned him before.

Why is anyone surprised by this though?

Me too. Primarily because they aren't big payers.

This is how we generate ££ for signings though. I'm not sure we sign players without selling. I'm fine with it, but we just look like plebs every summer saying we won't sell

I would've lost my money. (If I was a betting man, I would've put it on Liverpool).

Risky though. I can see the dilemma. Atmosphere is a bit like a mini-Arsenal.

Certainly no shortage of potential departures from that lot. A fair few have been linked with moves already.

So that's a left-back & THREE right-backs City have gotten rid of so far (If you include Zabaleta) #BertrandWatch CedricWatch
