£100M for a 32 year old with a year left on his contract? Be very hard business wise to turn that down to be honest

But of course it depends on the circumstances and replacement. Mentioned it before and I think Foden is ready to assume the mantle of chief creator in the middle which is proper progression

KDB is irreplaceable, mom award every other game. A season by season contract would be a wise move

No one is ever irreplaceable. We said the same about Yaya Aguero Silva and we still win stuff.

Chances are we won’t get a better like for like replacement but we may change slightly how we set up and play slightly differently but we will still be in the mix for trophies after he has gone/retired

It's tough when B lister Grealish cost £100m
D lister Nunes over £50m
And Z lister Phillips £42m

If we're letting him go, we need a A* replacement

We don't need the money so all the same if it was 50m.

Players with his attributes are few and far between. Amazing player, even to have in the squad as time goes on.

The decision belongs to one person and personally I cannot see KDB going there.

He already has a net worth of over £56M, his kids are 8,6 &4 so I doubt he will unsettle them going to Saudi.

Also if I remember correctly he said himself about 4yrs back he hopes to end his career at City.

Very true. I personally wouldn’t want to live out there with 3 kids of that age and I can’t imagine he is desperate to play out there either.

But as a club I think we would consider an offer of that magnitude. Whether we accept it is a matter for the DoF. And whether KDB himself wants a different challenge is up to him

The club can listen to or even accept an offer but, if Kev doesn't want to go, fuck all the club can do.

IF Kev decides to go then that's another matter.

Additionally, Pep has said this week he wants Kev to finish his career here, who knows, will Txiki want to piss Pep off by cashing in on him.

We don’t need the money ? You do realise it’s a fucking business don’t you ? You talk about being dense ffs!!

Player sales are fundamental to buy new players FYI and if Kev wants to go to Saudi or anywhere else and the fee is right , we will sell him .

The class clown strikes again.

No, we don't need that money.

Our turnover is pretty damn good (best in the world maybe?) and can easily look after our transfer kitty.

You obviously know fuck all about business so it’s pointless discussing finances with a muppet like you .

Absolute gimp.

Looks like Phillips has given up on playing again....doesn't matter if our club doesn't get a fee for him as we don't really need any money form player sales....ask OD PMSL.

You're comparing phillips' importance in our team to kdb's...

And you're calling me a gimp, mongo?

What I said was we don't NEED the kdb money. Not that we don't need any money. At all.

You want to sell haaland and sack pep ffs. Now you're giving out financial advice.

There's no end to your expertise

I see we are linked with Bruno Guimaraes.
Now that is a transfer. He would be class under Pep.

Disagree with this. I don't rate him that highly. Seems to be a bit of a sly fucker as well. There is better out there for the money it would cost. Mind, saying that if we could get Nunes or Phillips out as part of the deal that may change my view!

We don’t need anymore players that will be backups. We need players that will be able to take over from the likes of Bernardo when he goes. We’ve spent hundreds of millions on these fringe players that are absolutely useless.

We need to make a statement.

Would Real Madrid try and sign him? No they would not.

KDB is the difference in most games. Fact. I have always thought him dropping back to play a quarter back role would be on the cards. We do not need to sell him!!

Didn’t we pay out an enormous amount in bonuses last summer because we won the CL? To the players and staff. That might hit us this summer in the transfer market.
