James Chester How many times have you seen him play? He's a great player. A couple of times would prefer Matip or Addenbour. at great player though

James Chester

Name some of our players who are better than him.

People advocating selling one of our better players

Why just over £5m? Douglas info is that we are to expect one more signing over 10m and the remainder will be around the 5m mark He doesnt say that though, just says one could be eight figures. How do you know that isnt the CB? In his replies on twitter he says exactly that - and that he assumes the 10m plus is Austin So basically he knows absolutely nothing other than we might be shopping in Germany. No - he claims we are looking at a cb who plays in Germany and that broadly he knows the price range we are working in for our 3 remaining targets. I like him/ think he has some good sources and so he is worth listening to. You are free to dismiss what he says If he assumes that a possible eight figure fee could be Austin then that groundbreaking insight has won me over. In truth all he has done is repeat the millions of rumours the past 6/8 weeks. Been after Matip/Austin all summer, hardly takes ITK to say it. Considering the bloke sitting next to him is talking about signings to knock our socks off i dare say they dont know too much more than anyone else really. Like Mole says, going cheap on others while lumping in on Austin would be plain stupidity And so typical of us at the same time

Why do you hope he's wrong? I'd be shocked if we pushed the boat out so far lol

He plays in the Belgian league, i don't think it's that much of a coup personally It makes little difference what league they play in. A good signing is a good signing. There's an element of risk but every transfer has risk. Wijnaldum was a coup for us, he played in Holland. We are cheap by premier league standards buying players from clubs with much lower resources than ourselves and competing against the likes of Swansea hardly classes as "coups" in my opinion. Signing any high quality player is a coup, for us! Especially ones who are on the radar of more ambitious clubs. Just goes to show the level of expectation around here. He's the sort player we should be targeting and signing without a problem, We've bought big names from Man Utd and Chelsea in the past. That turned out well. It doesn't matter how much players cost orwhere they're signed from from as long as they perform. No one is advocating signing players who are over the hill and unmotivated or just generally lacking in any footballing ability whatsoever.

That this potentially could be a good signing but its no "coup"

Where we are Mitrovic, Austin standard is the best we can get. To get a better side takes far more ambition and far more money. Nope but I also won't allow my expectations to be lowered.

To think some posters advocate us resigning him

He's 26 at best

To be completely honest, they aren't radically different. They both claim they are the best suited to keep doing things the way they are being currently done. Both Laporta and the current board are the most successful in all our history. Their differences, principally: Laporta: - Install Abidal as DoF. - Strip Qatar off the shirt, search for new sponsors or just go with UNICEF. - Build a new basketball court and expand the Camp Nou. Doing so modestly, so name rights don't have to be sold. - Buy Pogba this season. Bartomeu: - Collegiate "football board" instead of a single DoF. - New contract with Qatar, doubling the current shirt income. - Ambitious remodeling of the Camp Nou and surrounding area. I see Laportas proposals as quite cynical he's trying to get elected on a populist ploy. He's always been a populist, and he's damn good at striking the right chords. Abidal is loved by fans, and a lot think he was mistreated by the current board; so he puts him in there despite Abi having zero experience. Qatar is hated as a sponsor, so he goes and says he will restore UNICEF (conveniently forgetting the financial consequences of doing so). I will always credit him with bringing back ambition and belief to a club that was a zombie, but I don't think he's a great steward at all. When he left, the club had huge cash problems. Plus he's a complete, unabashed c***. I would go with Bartomeu, if he wasn't responsible himself for the transfer ban and the Neymar transfer fracas. Love having a local view of things

Obertan and Gouffran supplying the assists

VI what are the potential presidents proposing?

Cuntery aside which Is awful frankly, if your going just go don't make a song and dance about staying then fuck off. But putting that aside are people seriously saying they wouldn't have joined city in that situation as well?

If finishing outside the top four is a good season

His weaker foot too right?

This communication method is to the clubs advantage after all as they set the tone of discussion rather than a newspaper adding it's own slant

Moussa

Banega? Creative CM, brilliant passer. If we got him

If remy can get a big signing on fee and keep his current wage at palace I'm sure he would move happily. One thing we know about him is he's only in it for the money.
