Might as well eh? 
Not missed a similar one have I?
Anyway, City in £25m RVP swoop!
RVP + Hazard on top of what they've got would be ridiculous.

Is Robin Gunner leave? Manchester City are closing in on sensational £25m deal for van Persie
Big-spending City are prepared to more than TREBLE his wages to £250,000-a-week
Van Persie will hold crunch talks over his future on Wednesday and Arsenal fear he will tell them he wants to leave.
City are leading a three-way battle for van Persie with Manchester United and Juventus but it is believed the newly-crowned Premier League champions are in pole position.
Big-spending City are prepared to more than TREBLE his wages to £250,000-a-week to snap up another Arsenal player after already signing Samir Nasri, Gael Clichy and Kolo Toure.
Wenger has already insisted he will not sell van Persie to City for any price but Arsenal will not be able to match the contract on offer and then must decide whether to hold him to his contract or sell and cut their losses.
Arsenal's board are believed to be ready to hold van Persie to his contract - but that may be tested by City's determination and whether the Arsenal striker forces the issue.
It promises to be another painful saga for Arsenal fans after losing Cesc Fabregas and Nasri last summer and it has become clear in recent weeks that van Persie has been reluctant to commit himself long term.
Van Persie even said after the win at West Brom on Sunday that he will always love Arsenal "whatever happens" and it now appears that he is preparing the groundwork.
Arsenal have taken encouragement that van Persie has taken his captaincy duties so seriously by organising a family barbeque for the players and his wife Bouchra has also set up a girls' night out for the partners.
But even though van Persie has affection for the club and will be offered a £130,000-a-week contract and lucrative £5m signing-on fee they face a massive battle to keep their talismanic captain.
City want van Persie to be their main striker as they also brace themselves for a move by Real Madrid for Sergio Aguero this summer.
And despite van Persie giving indications he wanted to move abroad, it appears City's courting of the player's representatives may be about to pay off.
Barcelona and Real Madrid are also believed to be keen but neither are believed to be ready to move in and may already be facing a losing battle with City.
