There will be some melts if this is even slightly true




FSG probably think he can be a new James Milner or something.

Why? He’d be your best midfielder.

 

[RossFC]

Why? He’d be your best midfielder.

We've got too many players in his age bracket, should be going after players at least 5 years younger.

 

[Zidane98]

We got enough old guys. A freebie would be a new low from FSG.

What do you think you'll want for Bellingham wadistance ?

I don’t trust Watzke to demand a good fee for him tbh.

But if Dembele went for what he did… Bellingham being a much more complete player, World Cup big performer, homegrown and huge marketing value should be worth 150m pounds at minimum.

I think the club are trying to throw 12-14m/season at him to make him the highest earner, with a promise he can go to his club of choice the following year if they cough up. As he dominates more and more he’ll only become worth more. I get he’ll probably go at the end of the year, but he’s developing so well, if I was advising him I’d say stay for one more season with your big pay increase and lower pressure and dominate.

Feels like this is going to fall through.

Did wonder who was going to be crazier, us offering the money or them not taking it.

Sounds like there's been a pretty big shitfight somewhere.

Would be a surprise in this window, but Cancelo was a surprise in this window.

 

[moomba]

Cancelo to Bayern just seems to have come out of nowhere. Not often City lose players of that calibre in their peak. Just from the outside looking in, something doesn’t feel quite right about City this season.

Perhaps this transaction is reflective of that and Pep is trying restore things internally.

We've had a few in recent years.

Sane, Torres, Jesus, Sterling, Zinchenko, now Cancelo. Bernardo has wanted out for a few years now. Before then we didnt really lose anyone we didn't want to lose.

Part down to Pep being pretty clear that if a player wants to go and can find a good deal we won't hold them back.

Part down to Peps style/intensity maybe not being the easiest to cope with for more than a couple of years.

Have no idea how reliable this guy is, we will see..

wonder if we'll come to the party late if Bernardo does leave

Nothing yet from Fabrizio or Orny.

 

[jod23]

Fair enough mate, I dont see it myself but we'll see.

Wouldnt 130 be the new world record? I cant remember what is the highest fee anymore.

 

[moomba]

Only thing I wouldn't be sure of, everyone was quoting mad fees for Haaland, he ended up getting sold for £51m or something like that.

Could be that's the price Dortmund pay for getting young, promising kids from England. Get them in, give them a low release, move onto the next.

Nah, Neymar was about £200m. EPL is £105 for Grealish.

£100m for Grealish iirc, that was his release clause.
