Ed I seen you joked about PL having a surprise for us at city, do you think we might raid there academy again?

{Ed007's Note - I don't know why Lawwell and either Michael Nicholson or Chris McKay who's said to be in the picture with him would need to travel down to sort out a loan deal.}

Imagine we pulled off signing Jadon Sancho, one can only dream! Have u heard of any other city players we could be interested in? do they have a CF we could be looking at?

{Ed007's Note - Is that the young lad all the English team's are chasing? He's looking for the best chance of playing regularly and Dembele and Ntcham are prime examples that we can give youngsters that. I don't know much about City's reserves and academy so I've no idea of any players we could be interested in from there.}

Late hope of Paddy coming permanently then Ed or is that wishful thinking? Either that or they have just arranged "important business in Manchester" to get out of a trip to Astana!

Maybe both down there to tie up a 2 for 1 deal - loan Paddy Roberts and get a free Wilfried Bony!

With Rivaldo and Paddy coming in, do you think another striker will be the only other possible incoming? Any names?

I think International duty will force teams to do business earlier than deadline day this year. Hard to sign a player at short notice if he is on the other side of the continent/ world! I think we'll be done and dusted by this time next week.

{Ed007's Note - I'd like to think they're trying to get Roberts and City to agree to a permanent deal, we can live in hope. I'm surprised the Club haven't released any statement about Coetzee, everywhere's reporting it's a done deal but seemingly it's only a fee that's been agreed. It's only been a few days since Rodgers has decided to look at a striker and I've not heard anything.}

I seen a list of transfers that were agreed yesterday on some database site and Paddy from City to Celtic was on it - loan deal only. Hope its just jumped the gun.

I'm sure we announced Kouassi before a WP was granted but we had agreed terms with him, maybe waiting til terms are agreed to announce Rivaldo.

I seem to remember us pulling the plug on a deal in the past where the selling club said it was done before it was. Omer Demari I think it was. Hope that doesn't happen this time. I like the look of the bhoy.

Maybe City want to give us £40m and Aguero for Lee Griffiths?

40m and Aguero for Griff? I don't think I'd accept that if it were up to me! lol HH.

Yeah he's a winger and everybody and their dog want him, he's very highly rated and spurs arsenal and Man U are looking to grab him, we would be and excellent club for him to develop but he might be out of our price range as he's more valued than Robert.

A tell you something Ed, STUNNED that Hibs got Brandon Barker from City mate not knocking PR but that lad has the lot, low centre of gravity and can score from the tightest of wide angles and pacey as hell! he was the star of there academy IMO.

{Ed007's Note - Yeah I remember Ronny was interested in bringing Barker up here and a couple of the English Eds raved about him at the time.}
