I really get the sense from that interview that he was just specifically asked about that article (about Arsenal and City). I find it hard to believe that those clubs are looking at him to be honest (Arsenal because of the players they've got, and City because they could spend whatever amount of money on whatever player).
The (reliable) French press have only really credited ourselves and Everton with an interest / bids.
Agreed. Honestly couldn't see him fitting in at Shitty. If he does go there he'll most likely regret it come the end of the season having spent most of it on the bench.
I concur. City honestly don't need Gervinho with all the other players at their disposal.
