[QUOTE="Purp, post: 3261223, member: 12852"] I'd heard about the interest in Jedi from Italy. I hope he stays far away from there. Both Milan clubs wanted him and one other (Napoli maybe?), but I'd heard the price was too steep for them. It sounds like that was the sticking point for City this time, which is great because it speaks volumes to how much value Fulham places in him. From what I read it sounds like City could have gotten past the sticker shock and done the deal, but they started too late in the process to work out a deal before the window closed. Joao Cancelo's late transfer to Bayern is what caused the late rush. Cancelo is on a 6 month loan, but is expected to make it permanent after the term for a fee of 62 million pounds. That City wouldn't pay 35MM pounds for Jedi after that deal doesn't make a lot of sense unless there are some financial fair play rules they have to be mindful of preventing such a move right now. Looks like they're in a lot of trouble over that again. It sounds like he'll be a top pursuit over the summer, though, after the Cancelo move is permanent. We'll see. That assumes they aren't heavily sanctioned by the EPL. I really don't want him to go there for the same reasons I hate to see Frogs go to other NFC East teams, but it would certainly be great for the USMNT and for him personally unless the club gets hammered.
