Not sure Sterling is going to drop his £300k a week wages to come play for us in the Europa conference tbh

If we had anything about us we'd say you can have him for 150m or he goes nowhere this summer

No swap deals unless you're including one of your best players

Is he really on that much?

Maybe I should have done some research first.....

Laporte is top class to be fair. I'd definitely take him and 100m

As reported in my article, the original deal prior to the CL final, was that the players involved in the deal would be Jesus and Laporte for Kane + cash - think they mentioned something like £70-£80m
Now it's Sterling because of having had a poor CL finals.

Can't see us liking that deal more than the previous one.

Sterling would need to take a third of his wage cut, and yes - can't see it

You not think Laporte is one of their better players? They have so many good players so I could never say best with City

I think of the 3 he would be the one we need but I think there is much more to come from Jesus who never seems to get a consistent run in their team (I could be wrong!)

Going on Sterling’s wage that’s a no no (didn’t realise was on so much) but Sterling the player would be great down one of the sides with Jesus on the other

Son playing off Ings

I like the sound of it

Maybe I need to be put champ manager down !

He would immediately resolve the defensive problems, with Rodon next to him.

Yeah I like the sound of 100m and Laporte

Seems more realistic

He is a solid centre back with a touch of class

Swaps never happen etc etc

Laporte + money would be ideal

The fact that they've thrown Sterling in to the mix makes the whole suggestion just laughable.

They call this journalism? It's about as credible as the gutter press the News of the World employed to rifle through people's bins to retrieve information under the guise of "investigative journalism".

I would only take the money. And that would have to be a world record fee of perhaps £200 million. Spurs hold all the cards

Rodon is being far too bigged up by our fanbase.

Still don't get why Stones is being picked ahead of Laporte. Have injuries ruined him? Something is up for Stones to be ahead of him.

He would have much better options than spurs if he were to leave.

That’s why I would want him included in a swap deal

If it came down to trying to buy him we would be up against a lot of clubs

A swap forces the move (obviously he can reject the move to us) but it negates us having to fend off other interested parties

Didn't City swap Danilo and cash for Cancelo?

I reckon we'll see a lot more swaps than usual this summer. No one's got cash. Not actual football clubs, anyway.

I like the guy ....not really put a foot wrong and deserves a chance

Not sure we can properly judge him until he has a better player next to him though ....poor guy has had to put up with dier!

I imagine Levy would have difficulty paying those players salaries.

You said the same thing about foyth (actually you said far worse things about foyth ) and now he's tearing it up for Villarreal

Feel like the main thing that has seen swap deals been so rare is less to do with the clubs just preferring to deal in cash and more to do with the players normally not being up for it

You might be right though we'll see

Laporte is only on £120k. Jesus is on 90.

It's widely accepted that he was craaap for us so was I meant to praise him? I've no problem with players like him going on loan - it seems to have gone very well for him (And Skipp).

I like Rodon and think he has a good future with us, but I think people are so sick of Sanchez and Dier that they talk about him like he's prime Maldini.

Put it this way I wouldn't feel very comfortable having him as a first or second choice CB next season.

True. That's a good point. Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures, though. If you're a player who needs to leave to get minutes ahead of the world cup do you wait in hope that maybe someone will bid for you? Or do you take a swap from City to Spurs, get a pay rise, and play every week?

Obviously you're right a lot of players will turn swaps down for a bunch of reasons. But within the same league and if the terms are right.. I can see it.

The issue for me is the idea that City let Laporte go.
