I wouldn't be quite so sure DM. Knowing how shady transfer dealings are in this country I wouldn't be at all surprised if City have had some encouragement and then the media releases are just to manage the PR side of it.

Otherwise, we'd have already spent some of the alleged transfer kitty on the targets that were (allegedly!!) identified months ago.

this is what i and a lot of your fans i talk to supsect, if it was a nailed on no why have we done a valuation on lescotts medical condition? something we need your permission for? why was tevez`s agent sat behind kenwright at your game at the weekend? so much going on we know nothing about yet, intersting post on our forum i shall include in this and this guy is very accurate

On Topic - Nothing new to add other than fee is being discussed, valuation we gave was not 100 miles away from that given by Everton so talks continue, there should be an answer by Thursday. Other than that I don't know anymore

so lets see what thursday brings

Actually I think Ireland is a fine player, and a credit to the old regime at City that brought him through the ranks.

 

Seriously though, I think those days might be over. it is easier to throw money around when you have it than to put the effort into producing good players.

 

I have never had an axe to grind against City. And frankly I still don't. I am mainly peed off with the Atitude of Sparky. He is deliberately trying (and possibly succeeding) to cause disruption in a 'rival' club. Ok he wants to buy Lescott. However he has been told no, yet still he leaks stuff to the medai that upsets and angers many other people.

 

I really used to like Mark Hughes, he seemed to be a gent. I think however the money available has gone a bit to his head.

 

So nowadays I am of a mind to dislike him. (To quote Sir Alex "I wouldn't sell that lot a virus")

 

No offence to the genuine fans of City.

can we get to some facts about leaking things to media? i think both clubs are guilty of that we didnt release facts of the bid, everton did in refusing them and weve made statements.. but what i want to know and more than likely you do too... SOMEONE SOMEWHERE inside everton fc IS talking to us.. do you not think? do you think we would waste so much time if no meant no? i actually believe moyse doesnt want to sell but i think kenwright does..this has gone on way too long, personally id have pulled the plug after 18 mill was refused, yet today we hear again a swap is on offer petrov who for me is a moody git and wont do you any good, dunne well nuff said and possibly jo any of those and cash...1 way or another i think BOTH sets of fans have been lied to on this..theres stuff obviously going on and its gone on too long..im hearing on here and elsewhere you want 30 mill? seriously? he isnt worth that and we all know it..offer 18 mill plus 1 of those 3 if its refused move on bcoz theres better out there and time thius was done and dusted either way

I've been biting my tongue over this one but i've had enough. I have worked in Manchester for five years now and have a lot of mates who are United and City fans. The thing that hits me the most is that the City fan that keeps coming on this web site is indicative of how arrogant and smug the City fans have become. I used to have a soft spot for City because i felt they were a club like ours. They had great fans that supported them when the times were bad (like leeds are doing now) and they had been through the mill just like ourselves and years of shite and dross to watch. At the start of the buy out i was quite pleased for them because although i knew it would make our situation more difficult to challenge for honours i thought that it would kick the premiership up the arse and give the Shite a bit of a scare. I also was quite pleased for the lads who i knew who are genuine football fans who knew the game and always had a laugh about Citys innability to be conistent in anyway apart from being inconsistent. However this prick who comes on our website belittling the work Moysie and the players have done in the last seven years and dismissing us as nothing more than a stepping stone to City finishing higher than fifth is nothing more than a cancer that is killing the game.

 

Lets deal with the facts eh? you say City are not inflating the market but it is Man Utd's for selling Ronaldo for 80 million? So your telling me if you had the chance you wouldn't have bought Ronaldo for 80 million? Of course you would because you would have taken great delight to rub Uniteds nose in it because City are so rich. But here's the problem the Ronaldo's, Terry's and Kaka's of this world are NEVER coming to City because the Top players look at you as a JOKE! And here's the kicker my friend because of the way you and the rest of your lot who have turned into horrible, arrogant, smug and crass fans the rest of the football world look at you and either laugh or smile to themselves and shake their heads because a once respected club and set of fans has lost their way and become a parody of themselves. Yes, you should finish top five because the amount of money you have spent demands that but for the hundred million you have spent i would say you have bought averagely. Even with another centre half you will struggle to hit top five. Yes and before you say it it will soon be January so you can spend another 50 million well done. I am happy for you and yes there are players in you team that i would love to have at Everton but i could say that about most teams in the prem.

quite accurate really...a lot of city fans have become smug and i dont like it, i go on our forum and see it and am endlessly apolising to efc friends i have in there at the abuse they get, and vice versa when i go onto efc forum, not this 1 i might add,first post as you see..and i justify being here as a city fan yes but with an evertonian mother.. and lets be honest here.. weve both lived in shadows or our despised neighbours...not all city fans have been swayed into being smug/arrogant call it what you will..i cant comment on c.t.i.d as i havent read all whats been said, i hope we cna debate issues, and i wont be posting abuse, if its recieved then its ignored, debating football is why im here, nice to see opinions of other clubs too
