Transfer rumours

[Hazy2]

Would we have been given 4 years if Messi had said yes?

[Dimples]

There is always payback, you scratch my back, I will scratch yours.

IMO we are playing the long game here, we are not getting shafted. No need to be a cnut just for the sake of it. Barca will remember who helped them out when the time comes.

That's a question for PSG, not relevant to us

[Mase]

All the talk about Haaland, Kane, the Serb but I think we’ll end up going all out for Joao Felix. Simeone basically said this week it’s not worked out and hinted it may be best to part ways.

Pep was an admirer when he went to AM, but there was no way we’d pay €125m. I can see Pep abandoning the search for an out and out striker and going for Felix.

EDIT: he’s also Benfica. No doubt he’d fit in here.

Not to speak for him but I think Hazy meant if we’d have agreed a fee at some point over the last decade to buy him, the answer is a definite “no” I reckon

Cheers Wooders yes that was me being me !! In between entertaining the rags in my house. Very old City pillow case for the brother, went down well. Alexa randomly singing blue moon hahahaha, your like a child was his comeback. Your next game is v the next club to storm past you in the future.

Interesting Cheeky couldn't make his award tonight

Maybe he's got more pressing matters - possibly someone on his way in City blue??

[Tokyo Blue]

Maybe his piles are playing up.

Torres officially gone.

Barca have put a billion euro buy out clause in his contract

Has the transfer window started early then.

[PeterParker]

.

The release clauses the Spaniards have are mental. I've read Fati and that Pedri have the same.
Must be something related to taxes, otherwise doesn't make sense at all.

[Hazy2]

The combined wages of Sergio and Torres ? Haaland Has to be in reach.

Those clauses are there to try curb State sponsored sides and Sports washing who are ruining football.
These nouveau riche clubs who have no history think nothing of chucking £500M to buy a player.

Warning: the above can be a little confusing to the uninitiated.
Real Madrid's state sponsorship purchase of Galácticos is GOOD.
Man Utd breaking transfer records (Law, Robson, Cole, Rio, Pogba, etc...) is GOOD.
Liverpool breaking transfer records (Dalglish, Torres, Carroll , Salah, VVD, Alisson) is GOOD.

Man City spending any money is VERY VERY BAD
PSG buying Galácticos is BAD
Newcastle potentially spending money is BAD

I suppose you could say it i down to one's viewpoint.

But still, 500 mil will do. Why 1 billion? If somebody will ever pay even 500 mil for a football player, we really deserve a comet heading for us.

Steve Daley £1.5M in 1979, Robinho £32M in 2008, Grealish £100M in 2021.........Neymar £185M in 2017.....

£52m for Mendy is the biggest football crime

I still don’t understand why in Jan? We’ve helped Barca out because they’re languishing in 7th place in LaLiga. This doesn’t benefit us to do the deal at this time.

some would have you believe we are playing the long game to help them out. Absolute bullshit. We are helping them out because the Spafia want to. We could have asked for any number of their players in this deal but chose not to as that would weaken them more. Fucking baffling that the chairman has not stepped in here especially if a striker does not arrive in this window. Don't get it at all

And that’s the thing. We’re down an attacker and Pep has said we’re not going to sign another one in Jan. Mahrez leaves us for a bit so if we get a couple of COVID cases or injuries what do we do?

I understand the attitude that Pep has with “if you want to leave then leave” but it seemed to be different when it was Laporte and Bern - it was on our terms then and we didn’t receive a good enough bid for either.
