En ces périodes de mercato où les humeurs changent vite, on est toutefois amené à penser que les choses peuvent encore évoluer au sujet d’Emiliano Sala. Avec Cardiff ou un autre club…
the gist:
During the transfer window where things can change quickly, Emilio Sala's transfer could still be on. With Cardiff or another club...

It's becoming as boring as the saga in Westminster:shrug:

Premier League side, dog and duck outfit off the pitch.
I find it curious that people apportion blame without knowing the facts. There are obviously many parties involved in such a transfer. The player, his agent, his current employer, his previous employer, his manager, his legal team, possibly familial and cultural matters to consider, Vincent Tan, Mehmet, Warnock, City's legal team, possibly Brexit and other imponderables that one can only guess at.
And the information we do judge things on is usually just material written in the media!

Disgraceful post. With fans like you who needs enemies.
Re: Nantes reject Cardiff bid - French media
Oh look... it's back on now!
:hehe:.
Pulled out of tonight's game according to SSN.

:thumbup: In earlier reports, the fee has been agreed, unless City have gone back and reduced the offer - which the report hints at. But why would we agree a fee and then say - actually, we don't want to pay that, we want to pay a lot less.

That's the way we roll.

Happy to support the players on the pitch as I have done at the vast majority of games home and away this season. They've done an amazing job to get us to January out of the relegation zone :thumbup:
If only the board were able to deliver as the players do, we may get somewhere.
As for Warnock, massive fan, but the Brexit stuff was dire. Glad the club distanced themselves from that.

If he has been pulled from the Nantes squad tonight that could be a very good sign.

But you called the club you support a 'dog and duck outfit off the pitch' thereby insulting all the hard working people who keep the club going and also the manager, owner and board who have kept the club afloat over the last ten years and all these people contributed greatly to what happened last year and also so far this season. Common perception is that Choo and Dalman are hard working and well liked and Tan has backed the board and manager before and appears happy to do so again now. If your only complaint is that the board are being careful with money, then that is hardly a criticism, bearing in mind what has gone on before. Transfer dealing also dont just involve the purchasing team do they, there are loads of variables all of which have to fall into place for the deal to go ahead. How is that the clubs fault ?
Re: Nantes reject Cardiff bid - French media
So he's gone from not being good enough to being Harry Kane's replacement. You can't make this shit up :hehe:

I think the manager banging on about brexit was pub football behaviour. I thought his criticism of the Clyne move was pointless and made us look very amateur. An English international full-back is always going to be in demand. I'm not involved in the game but know enough that you can't rely on a promise in this day and age, and that other teams are within their right to loan someone elsewhere. Should they have informed us? Yes. Is it worth causing the fuss that followed? No.
We didn't get a striker in last time as we weren't prepared for the set backs with back up options in place and it looked like we were going the same way with this deal, but thankfully Sala has agreed to join (it seems) so I'll reserve my overall judgement for how we do in the rest of the window.
The players and manager have performed miracles over the last 18 months, hopefully they're given every chance of staying up in the next 2 weeks with some investment in the positions that need it most.

Perhaps Nantes thought we would pay £18m AND the sell on clause - now they realise we were only going to pay the £18m full stop?
