IF Fofana comes - and that is highly unlikely- a deal would be weeks away. He is hanging on to see if a CL club comes in for him. If not, and if we match Lyon's asking price, I imagine we'll get the all clear for him to come. But there are too...
He's talking about Grealish, which is still being mooted as his most likely destination on the City forums etc
Doesn't tally with the Fofana interest though
If the quotes were from an interview on Friday and we were bidding for Fofana on Saturday, I don't think they were referring to him.
Do I think he will come? No. But I don’t think the timings suggest that he was one of the ones being referred to.
I mean, I can't tell if you are being sarcastic mate, but yes that is the key. Newcastle have mostly signed safe PL players for hefty fees, but still managed to get Guimarães, Isak and Tonali when the club wasn't all that.
We will be rejected by...
The way things are going, I wonder if we'll end up seeing an enforced version of a Moyes classic - Aznou playing on the left wing for us (with Ndiaye or McNeil shunted elsewhere) while he acclimatises to the PL. Like Moyes did with Coleman.
Disagree. We are so far behind other sides at the moment and the gap just gets bigger and bigger. We need to turbocharge things a bit. Signing mid-level dross and nothing else, keeps you there at best and probably actually moves you backwards...
