City can just buy half the Monaco team. Both full backs, Fabinho and Silva. They'll be sorted for next season.
Bernardo Silva | Bouhafsi - 70m Euros, 5 year contract. Going to City CONFIRMED

Finally you and me agree on something.
And then the player appears headed to city. Let's disagree again
Silva passing the torch to another Silva. Disappointing if it happens.
The article seems to say City are favourites based off betting odds, I wouldn't take that as gospel.
At times I think the press links us to players that they are certain are going to City just to use the "He snubbed United" tagline.
Otamendi, Gundogan even Fernando
Otamendi, Gundogan even Fernando
I think the phrase rhymes with "wrecking bell"
True but for a massive flurry of bets and then for him to be in Manchester suggests someone somewhere knows he's off to City.
Woody needs to get a hold of Fergie's Berba kidnapping vehicle and fast.
Either that or his agent in an attempt to get City to act?
The one that got away 
Mourinho's comments suggest he's going to City. Sounds like we were interested but they pipped us to him.
Why on earth would he pick City and Pep over United and Jose?!
Frustrating.
Frustrating.
Just the kind of player I'd love at United. Come on Jose.
Can people relax until anything is done. All the French sources have linked him with us.
That and what José said after the final. 1+1=2 init
There's usually something (or someone) that prompts the flurry of bets - as in, somebody knows he has a meeting with Manchester City.
It's the right move for Silva though as City play the brand of football that will suit him to the tee.
Yeah, I don't particularly understand what are they going for. Sure Pep rotates plenty but add Gundogan and that's a lot of players which operate in somewhat similar areas. I guess Aguero might leave and they'll do the false 9 thing.
what does that mean for sane and sterling tho?
looks like he's modelled his playing style on someone like Iniesta who wasn't too bad under pep so...
I would suggest nothing. David Silva is my guess who they are replacing.
Pep the bald prick hijacking our targets
Why not?
Someone fecking prove he's in Manchester first. Thought the French press were linking him to us? Why are City all of a sudden favourite's?
City seemingly bringing in Silva and Walker hopefully means Fabinho to United.
This shows just how bad the media have been over these transfers. This City link popped up out of nowhere when Canal+ and France Football were saying he was practically ours. Maybe Fabinho has no real link to City at all. I don't really expect any one team to buy two of their players.
He never seemed like a Jose player in the first place TBH, not sure he's ever signed a player like him before?
I know all the hope came from the press, I agree he's a nice little player but we've got similar in Mkhi + Mata.
I would imagine the way the bets have gone in that some sort of inside news has happened, so I expect him to sign for City.
Much more of a Guardiola type player IMO.

Surely with Silva off to City (or looking likely to be the case), there's more chance of us getting Fabinho?
Rare that a 2 players from the same club go to the same destination in the one transfer window

Gutted,all these days I was dreaming of him joining us, hope the news coming down are not true.
He would be perfect fit for Pep's style of play.

Feck off James.
this is crazy at last week it was fabinho to city and silva to united. if city gets silva, it would be only right we get fabinho. if they get both. Feck Mendes. he aint taking DDG to Real. We should crack his head over with a fax machine.
Fairly equal in the eyes of a neutral, no?
Tons of cash from both clubs, top rated coaches and not challenged for the league but qualified for the Champions League.
Both willing to spend to improve their teams.
bad news to wake up to
Means nothing, City don't have prime Xavi or Busquests
Wasn't it France Football who linked him? They aren't exactly trustworthy when it comes to transfers, they are great for in depth articles though.
Okay a very reliable guy on bluemoon saying that he's having a medical as we speak.
Seriously guys
-------------Fabinho----Pogba------------
Mkhitaryan---------Griezmann-----------Martial
---------------------Morata----------------------
Doesn't look too shabby to me.

Could they have confused Silva and Fabinho's destinations? It was really Silva to City and Fabinho to United
Not hard to guess why that might be; his agent/Monaco driving up the fee/wages on offer from City with the threat of losing him to their cross-town rivals.
