Last night while I was sitting in the Queen’s Theatre in the West End, watching Les Miserables a bit of a storm broke out among the Canary nation after a story published by HITC Sport
Obviously I didn’t see the news until after the performance, which was extraordinary by the way, but the crux was that City had accepted an offer from Reading for Nelson Oliveira.
I know.
‘Every player has a price’ etc, but selling Nelson? That’s unthinkable, isn’t it?
Having cost us £5m and shown his worth last season, any bid would surely have to be at least £10m, if say.
Anyway, the EDP’s Michael Bailey quickly tweeted this:
‘No they haven’t, I believe. Doesn’t sound like it would be a goer either. So you can sleep easy tonight. #ncfc’
Phew!
It immediately seems like a bizarre sale and fingers crossed it looks just like silly season in full flow. Hopefully there will be more on this later to negate the story.
