Landed yesterday evening in Bristol. Own's it but it is not 'his jet'. Reliably informed that it was carrying a cpl in their 50s hence the drop off at Luton before returning back to base at Bristol.

Wouldn't be the first time. We got to 12 pages and parading in a city shirt once before, and it didn't happen! I'm certain the club is better organised than tha now.

Surely he is far too inexperienced at this time? The lack of games/experience and age suggest not for the first team immediately; the fee suggests the opposite. Do we seriously think we are bringing in £7m signings to play for the U23s? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arkateee Posted August 4, 2019 Report Share Posted August 4, 2019 City signing an £8,000,000 midfielder with up to %20 add on fees, very much suggests he will be a first team player. To suggest otherwise would be completely ludicrous and disingenuous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said Neymar is a complete cock despite his humble beginnings in life. By the looks of it this guy seems a nice chap, Neymar has always looked like a arrogant self entitled cock with his whole demeanor. This guy isnt moving for financial gain, he is moving to progress his career. By and large the French league is pretty shite. Overall the Championship is the better league with the exception of PSG who up until recently were shite. This isn't a sideways move, or a backwards move for the young lad. This is a forwards move. It's comparable in that neither were being played. Apologies I meant operated by SLs Centreline. Informed two planes went to Nice. The other (which is owned by SL) stayed overnight and returned to Farnborough this morning with a couple. G-HARG flew empty to Nice and returned with one passenger.

IMHO Very unlikely...........Lj and the coaching staff will want him intergrated into the squad.....get to know the players, and learn the Championship ropes. By all accounts LJ is a very good man manager, and with Cisse in the camp, even if `Sideshow Bob speaks little English, thay will want him communicatimg as best as he possibly can, as soon as he possibly can. None of this will happen if he returns to France? He'll be in the 1st team squad by September methinks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Musicworks Posted August 4, 2019 Report Share Posted August 4, 2019 58 minutes ago, JoeAman08 said: This is very interesting. Just a thought, and I haven’t read this whole thread, maybe he was one of our targets if we had been promoted last season? Then he has become available to us at a time we have cash. Also LJ is no idiot. There will have to be some degree of protecting him I am sure. Even at 8m, he is still a 18 year old. He will need time to settle, adjust to the style of the league etc. I am sure he’d get plenty of minutes but I am also sure he wouldn’t be playing the full 90 all 45 games left after he signs. As others have said I suspect Cisse will be key, possibly as a mentor and maybe for more than one young talent. It’s quite possible that we will bring in other young players from France but maybe not so high profile or expensive. No doubt prices to us from French clubs will now naturally rise so getting them young (if it conforms with Uefa rules) could save us in the long run. We seem to have been working on building partnerships in the USA this summer so it would be logical to do that in Europe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taz Posted August 4, 2019 Report Share Posted August 4, 2019 There are some belters on here. IF there is anything behind this random rumour, then we will not be signing him for £8m and sending him out on loan. He will be in the first team, possibly from the bench to begin with, and will then become central in our team (so long as he's not pony anyway). £8m signing out on loan..... We're Bristol City, not Manchester City!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
