I read the above as well.
Ed - any truth in it do you think? And if the answer is yes, do you think it's a goer? Thanks.

{Ed007's Note - It seems plausible enough, City would definitely be interested in doing a deal at that price.}

£6.8m what a bargain, Man City might need to have a sell on fee, they need the money. 😉😉.

Given that BR has said he wants 2 quality players in, if PR is 1 of them on a long term deal, that's us off to a great start at least, and we don't have to worry about giving him time to bed in . Lol.

Some blogger/ writer has said it, we offered 6.8m with 25% sell on fee! If true do u think it's value for money ED? Hope it is true right enough but I'm not sure we'd pay that for him. hope I'm wrong but lol.

{Ed007's Note - I think it's a bit steep but I'm sure City could get more from another English club for him.}

Ed, It's interesting that Paddy has been starting games more frequently. Maybe that tells it's own story, Possibly BR and Paddy know more than they are letting on. here's hoping!

{Ed007's Note - Hopefully it means that Rodgers knows Forrest ain't the answer on the RW.}

Sinclair on the left Paddy on the right next season. what a thought. Having guys like this speak so highly about our club can only do us good trying to entice future targets imo.

its that arse phil who said there's been a 6.8m bid, so i'll take that with a pinch of salt, the guy lives in his own wee fantasy world.

Thanks Ed.
If this is the case, I think it would be fantastic! Potentially, it's heavily offset if van Dyjk moves. So that would be a net outlay of a little over a million for our top target.
Keeping my fingers crossed now!

{Ed007's Note - That's a good point, Andy, I never thought about it like that.}

I think you could be right there Stan. The only real reason I could see for BR playing Forrest over Roberts earlier on was that Forrest was actually our player. That change could well mean that something has been in the pipeline.

Let's hope so JT.

Reading lot's of comments regarding Paddys interview last night i think himself, BR and the club in general are correct to keep quiet until anything is done. Give the press nothing!

I noticed in his interview when asked he said "i won't say anything right now" maybe they are tying the loose end up and it will be announced before the final next week along with Armstrong signing his new deal.
That would be some great news going into the summer.

Would love to see Paddy stay but ultimately it's down to the boy himself. He's already stated he wants to fight for a place in the City squad and he's good enough. The problem for Paddy though is he will have a monumetous fight to even be a squad player with the funds City will have this summer. His other option would be to go to another mid to low table premiership side which in itself would show a lack of ambition but could bring him big money. I definitely think his best option is to sign for us and have a great couple of seasons winning Leagues and Trophies and getting good CL exposure. Could be a win win all round as his stock goes up and we then sell him to one of the top Premiership/ European teams for a big fee.
The boy is class but he has the capability to be really world class and Brendan is the perfect manager to get him there.

Roberts starting most games could be because Both he and Rodgers know the pressure is off Roberts as he is definitely not staying .
I really hope that I am wrong because Roberts would be really useful.

Forrest, in most people's eyes ( especially those that matter ) has had a good season. People who support less succesful teams like Liverpool no EPL victory in over 30 yrs, may query Forrest ability.

I don't think there had been any pressure on him Chris. I'd say there has been more pressure from fans to start him more. I don't think his attitude was there when he first signed but he is up to speed now. If this pans out and we get him it will be unbelievable. The moose is a grey area but the rest of the lads are all falling into place and will be at the club for a few years. SC in particular I think has really taken the club to heart and the reaction from the fans after that tw@t's racial abuse was top class. There must be a part of PR that doesn't want to give that up.
