Dalman flies in to UK to lead Bale negotiations……………

[Taunton Blue Genie]

All Bales's body language is that he is committed to a last hurrah in Qatar. The idea that City would pull the plug on his signing if he didn't commit for a season is laughable. This is a short term win-win for club, country and the player.

What Ramsey does is a more interesting question. He was almost as far off the pace last night as Joe Allen and needs a team where he can be nurtured to Qatar.

Whether that is in the best interests of City's 22/23 season is a different question.

As a strapline, it's up there with 'The Rumble in The Jungle'.
