dn1982 Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 I wonder if City are signing Pogba then? Perhaps City don't want to let Sinclair go to us until they know they have the Pogba deal sewn up? Yep I think so. Pogba is probably Sinclair's replacement. Both world class. Maybe the Pogba deal is being held up because we can't agree terms over Sinclair? The only way that's the case is if Pogba is moving into Sinclairs house it won't be financial!!!

P3te Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 I have sympathy with those who get confused, you have to remember that FFP hasn't really ever been sold/explained in a way which is easy for the common fan to understand. You hear news about the likes of QPR getting in trouble etc, but not a lot is done to explain the details in way simple way (no offence to anyone here btw). Look at US sports - salary caps make it real easy. Don't spend more than X, that's the simple rule. Over here it's different rules for different competitions, different amounts based on income, loopholes all over the place, etc, etc. You have to take time to read up on it to fully understand it and that shouldnt be the case in a sport where it plays such a massive factor! In more exciting and on topic news, that twitter guy says it's Toure we're signing today. Yep FFP can get confusing. However a bigger obstacle for us is that we have a chairman who doesn't want to fund us. People don't seriously bekeive Randy is itching to give lambert £30m for players - but is prevented from doing so by FFP - whatever the flavour Whether he wants to or not, he can't 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samjp26 Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Milan want to recall Pato and sell him, QPR are in for him apparently. Still only 25 and evidently talented, would be worth a punt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Safe to say wherever that rumour came from, the guy was on a wind up (hasn't he since been sold again? Sao Paulo maybe?)

lapal_fan Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 (edited) I loved Pato Milan lab arsed his thigh muscles around way too much. Since he left Milan he's actually started to play more regularly and he's very nearly a 1 in 2 striker again. If we bought Pato, I'd get a season ticket.

The lad would make Mido look dedicated to the cause. He really doesn’t give a toss. Maybe injuries contribute to this but it would take a huge turn around in attitude for him to make the grade in a top European league again.

useless Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 A few tweets seem to think that the Spanish media are saying we've bid for Alberto Bueno, never heard of him (not that that means anything) but apparently he's a striker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 I've seen the bid quoted as 12 million euros, so probably no truth to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
