Yes but usually after that happens the story goes away- however news outlets in Spain keep pushing it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brother of the Man Utd centre back. Suppose the significance of so few starts depends on the quality of his competition and the tactics his team plays.

Soldier on 160 Posted January 26 Paddy and Connor both seem confident of their sources re Varane and Aboh. Interesting if knapper is keeping them up to speed. I know Webber did prior to the fall out. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Bristol Nest 517 Posted January 26 Paddy is usually reliable. The "person of interest" comment is intesting though. One for the summer? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Robert N. LiM 4,394 Posted January 26 Just looked out of my window and there are no frogs falling from the sky or plagues of locusts so I think I can be fairly sure we're not signing a CDM today. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fair to say if we did sign him, the weight of expectation would be something to behold. CDM is something of an obsession on here. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh how I love a flightradar24 transfer rumour! Someone on here must know someone who works at the airport? Drop them a WhatsApp with this image and tell them to look out for this guy coming through arrivals... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NFN FC 1,123 Posted January 26 For all the newer City fans, CDM stands for Central Defensive Midfielder. These are players that shield the defence and generally mop up possession. At Carrow Road they're almost as rare as hen's teeth. 1 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BroadstairsR 2,179 Posted January 27 Just ruled out firmly by his manager, according to the Pink. Also, he has a release clause of 5m euro, apparently. Pity, I quite liked his age and dedicated playing position. At least Ben Knapper is looking in the right direction, and probably also learning the vagaries of the transfer market. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
