I saw an article linking him to us. Actually 'linking' is understatement. It was written that he wanted to join his dream club or wanted to make his dream move to United.
I suppose Romano was bombarded with questions about the truth of that. He'd be a good replacement of Bailly or Jones - 4th or 5th choice defender, but I doubt he'll be excited about being so far down in the pecking order. And even if he is in our shortlist (experienced CB on a free) - he'd be probably on the 2nd CB shortlist somewhere towards the bottom of the list.
Not really. City already have the creativity and technical players in attack that will win you trophies (we do not), if they sign Grealish they are certain to win the PL.

Do they have someone who can finish the attacks though? Ilkay Gundogan is their league top scorer with 13 goals.
I know that they're drilled to work together like clockwork, but I still think that they would need a good finisher. I just don't see them winning back to back titles without out and out striker.
Erm ... We all know that we've met with Camavinga's representatives. However I'm not willing to believe this report coming from ESPN. Mainly because all the players mentioned are the same mould of midfielders as Pogba. There were reports during the Camavinga tweet flurries, that Eduardo's pursuit is not connected to Pogba's departure. In other words if Pogba stays and signs extension we still would be pursuing one of those players.
So I wouldn't give too much credibility to that report.
That's what Kane is for
Its been the club policy for many years to do some groundwork with our top targets for eventualities, just to have things clearer about price and willingness of players, so I dont especially doubt it.
Do you think City are wiling to splash 260m on two players?
I'm not buying that
Kroos, Ramos, ADM - right on top of my head, speak the other way around.
Neves being premier league proven is worth alot. He's getting my vote atm.
They have all of the money and that's what the rumours are.
I'm not exactly convinced they will but they've no striker worth talking about at all.
I think you failed to acknowledge one possibility in these reports.
Ole most likely wants Pogba to stay meaning he likes what Pogba has to offer.
Pogba does not want to extend. So, Ole looks for another MF like Pogba.
Fundamentally, I don't see any harm in that especially if keeping Pogba would require record wages for the player. I just don't think he's worth it.
What I do not want to see is us giving Pogba a massive contract to extend and he continues to play LW and be inconsistent.
Even if he doesn't extend and he's not sold this summer, we're still going to see Pogba playing LW due to Rashford being out for several months.
As far as Ole's concerned, Pogba is first choice for that spot behind Rashford which is grim.
So was Scheiderlin, arguably. It's hard to think of a bigger dud.

Grealish replacement, I guess?
Bailey is a good player and it's pretty good type of business.
slowly but surely they're building there an interesting team with Buendia, Baily, Traore and Watkins upfront.

Villa should have got Joachim Anderson.
Bailey willbe a good signing. Interesting if they get Ward Prowse too. I actually think at the moment they won’t be significantly weaker by losing Grealish, considering they spent probably most of last season without him.

Agreed. Would have been great for them.
Most likely, although he's mainly played on the right side, but doubt they'd bench Traore.
Maybe we can try and offload Bailly on them
Buendia will play on the right won’t he?

He played as a 10 the other day. Was a friendly mind.
Up yard man
Been linked and had a bid turned down long before City began talks with Villa for Grealish, unlikely a replacement but their willingness to increase their bid could be a sign they've got more money to play with.
I didn't want Schneiderlin and he was never going to be anything more than a busy midfielder.
That signing seemed to be to appease the fans and they couldn't decide between Schweinstieger and Schneiderlin so they signed both.
Thank God those dark days are in the past now. Neves ability and Schneiderlins can't be compared.
So is this the Grealish replacement?
Buendia was probably the Grealish replacement
Villa making some moves in the window.
Ward Prowse is next before Villa announces Grealish to City
So Villa spending the JG money on Buendia, Bailey and Ward-Prowse? Not bad that.

I don’t think Saul is coming to us. It’s more likely to Liverpool
They might even end up stronger.
He offers far more to them than he does us too. A better Wijnaldum replacement than he is for our midfield two.
Could make them a more rounded team. They have relied on Jack at times.
I would also prefer us buying Neves as strange as it may sounds
