Sergio's Future

[Mase]

Wouldn’t surprise me if his bird has made the decision for him. He does seem like a wet lettuce on social media.

[Nick]

I have a question, sorry i haven't had chance to read through the thread since the news broke last night.

I have read Sergio's statement he released on twitter
I have read the article/release on mancity.com with Khaldoon calling Sergio a legend and confirming a statue.
I have read earlier today BBC sports web page

The question is: Sergio leaving, is it his decision, a mutual one OR as implied in the BBC article the club didn't offer him an extension full stop?

I somewhat doubt he wasn't offered SOME kind of extension at all?

I am fairly sure that Pep made a statement last week saying KDB, Sergio & Razzers contract talks would be done post season as not to distract, so this doesn't sound right to me.

I really hope he doesn't end up with Barca alongside Messi, as that would make us look stupid after all the speculation of Messi coming here (not that i wanted that). The press will have a field day as usual at our expense and Barca will be laughing their tits off at us!!

I don't think we have offered him anything. Maybe we were saying we will see at the end of the season, which isn't fair on a legend. I like a month at least when j have a good relationship with my boss to know if I'll be renewed or not. Maybe khaldoon stepped in.

For me he's nailed on at barca.

Does make us silly and fuck messi the little shit. What odds can I get?

You can't decide to fuck a legend off post season imagine that.

Also, where does this leave fern?

Rag gave me shit last night saying "interesting city players running their contracts down now - garcia, sane, sancho, kun" I argued back but he's not wrong

[johnny crossan]

See Despicable Dan gave the Sergio Adios story to that unpleasant rag Ian Haslam on BBC NW just now

[Sideshow Bob]

what is the logic in releasing this story now?? as someone else hinted earlier in the thread, this will only allow teams to (further) hold us to ransom for potential targets like haaland. even if we've already reached an agreement for a new striker, there's no reason to rock the boat with this in the midst of fighting for 4 trophies. i dont get it??

The Sane that we got 70 million quid for?

The Sancho that we got 18 million quid for?

Garcia yeah, but a) Covid-related, wants to go home and b) throw pogba back at the knobheads. The little gem that made them 100,000 pounds then cost them over 100 million quid plus 400 grand a week wages. Absolute genius.

FFS mate, don't take any shit from those red turds. Use your brain and get some facts and you'll find you are light years ahead of them.

I'm not sure, both homing in mid 30s and not to mention their astronomical salaries. Both on the decline, not exactly building for the future. I think we offered Serg reduced wage and no playing time guarantees. As much as I'd love him to stay, I rather he left on high then become a bit part player.

Saw that. “You look like you’re going to cry” fuck off you twat!

Legend or not . How many minutes has he contributed to this season ? where do City stand at the moment ? Still in the hunt for four trophies . Which is fantastic. Why should a 32/33 year old be given priority ? He gets paid damn well for being sidelined.

[BlueinBosnia]

The Sane that we got 70 million quid for?

The Sancho that we got 18 million quid for?

Garcia yeah,

Won't we get some kind of tribunal/compensation fee for him? I'm sure I read around Christmas time that it would be sensibly estimated at anywhere from 8 to 14 million. I don't remember if those are pounds or euros, or a mix of both (as it came from different sources), though.

[Nick]

I did, they still all ran it down and reduced the fees we got for then. Sane was worth 100 mill plus we didn't want to sell and the knob got injured

[Dameerto]

Aguero will be top scorer in Spain facts.

Hope we are signing someone decent like haaland or we will look mugs

It's us that have not offered a contract remember..

I strongly suspect Kun and the club have talked about what he wants, and this was the agreed way of announcing it. It could be he wants to go to somewhere that can't afford to buy him, if so this lets him sign as a free agent.

[Plain Speaking]

The Sane that we got 70 million quid for?

The Sancho that we got 18 million quid for?

The usually reliable Transfermarkt has Sane's transfer fee as £40.50m to Bayern Munich, (we probably would have got over twice that fee, if he hadn't got injured in the community shield.)
They also have Sancho's fee to Dortmund down as £7.05m, plus it's been widely reported we also get a sell on clause of 15% for his next transfer. There's been speculation this could be used in negotiations with Dortmund for Haaland?

[Wooders]

Haven’t all the legends announced it a few months before the end of the season? Pretty sure it’s a policy at the club

Anyway - best striker in the league since Henry and helped us to many a trophy - a legend but at this stage of his career we won’t feel his absence on the pitch, we have had a while to get used to life without kun for some time now

2 weeks ago....

Watch on youtube.com

I wonder what changed.

Just seen this via We Love Man City FC on FB (yeah yeah I know), their source is the bloke in brackets below

"It was explained to Sergio Agüero that a pure 'number nine' would arrive at #ManCity and that he would become the substitute. He was invited to make a decision about his future: either to stay or to leave, and Agüero decided to leave."

Am reading this bloke's book on Pep and City- Pol not CTID....he is well connected judging by his book but who the fuck knows? We would all like ti think that this is an absolute prioriry and that after making the Sergio is going, announcement, we must have a deal dine

You either have been on the sherberts or forgotten to pop your reader's on before typing lol

Anyway, if this is correct it sits better with me, than the spin BBC put on it I.e. we didn't offer Sergio owt.

It would also suggest that we have a deal in principle done, otherwise the club would have slipped Sergio an envelope to keep stum until end of season.
