It’s not easy being Manchester City. First, financial fair play rules prompted them to sell young players at prices no one can believe and now their search for yet another midfielder can not simply be resolved with brute fiscal force. Pah.
But here we are. For some reason, City ended their interest in West Ham’s Lucas Paquetá, so are now focused on Eberechi Eze and Matheus Nunes. Problem being, Crystal Palace would like to keep the formerwith Wolves are unlikely to release the latter unless offered a significantly inflated fee. Pep Guardiola is, the Mill understands, outraged at this failure of the footballing universe to sanction his precise whims, so plans to thcream and thcream until he’s thick by way of revenge.
