Thankfully the Goat post doesn't start with "from our usual source"

Cardoza simply isn't good enough. Not even as a fallback option.
I don't know about Verela, but would love us to sign Willian for the wing.
If Moutinho is too much then I hope we look at alternatives real soon.
GDS hasn't even spoken to AVB I wouldn't have thought yet. I expect him to speak to him on his return from the games. Only then will we know.

Underwhelmed by the lastest ITK TBH, more of the usual 'next level' signings that never happen and the 2 names mentioned otherwise are hardly exciting, Cardozo would do as a backup but is Varela any better than Pienaar/Gio/Krankjar?

I think we won't see any improvement in our starting XI this year really, settled back 4 an improvement but modric replacement won't be. I don't think we can afford players better than we have. No point chasing the one's we won't get for yet another window we should focus on more youngish players with potential not at big clubs such as Sig.

Unfortunatley without some kind of massive investment I can't see us matching last years fourth.

My sons keeping me awake, kids! No-one correct with the 2 players so far. But someone has correctly guessed the London link. OoOoO

I'm sure nobody is really interested in playing your guessing games. If you have something to say then say it. If you don't want to, why not just drop the subject? Then perhaps this thread could actually be used for discussing ITK.

Tough one, but I don't see why City should pay out any more tbh, even if it is to charity and we assume that is the case here. Charities are a wonderful thing, but why should City as an employer be effectively held to ransom just because Adebayour believes it worthy?!

How does risking his contract with Spurs benefit his charity in any way, or his footballing career?

Again, to stress, all for supporting charities, but whilst i don't empathise with City over the fees and wages they have stupidly inflated, being effectively blackmailed is not on and doesn't do Ade any favours in my view. Worse if it's for personal reasons.

Assuming anything here is true...

As for the promising youthful talent, that is good news... though i am still worried about the starting 11.

Yes we want a plan that sees us have a real team coming through, but we need to not let the good work done so far go to waste by slipping back down the league.

Agree with what you say here, but from what I've read, Ade's stance is that because Citeh don't want him anymore then they should buy out the remainder of his contract and give that money to his charity, otherwise he'll hang around like a bad dose :rolleyes:

If you could be bothered to read the whole conversation you would have a better idea. As for saying who they are, I've explained my reasons why I can't to the Mods. But I'm also not going to let people think its Dempsey. Im not forcing you to guess. I've been told not to mention anything else and to post on twitter instead. I'm on here as a fan and hoping to find some good news myself. I suggest you stop taking everything so seriously. Especially the Cardoza ITK.

Last post before I try to sleep.
I'll go as far as midfielder is in the Olympics, not playing in the EPL.
Possible loan player from Porto, not Atsu.
