You are being characteristically obtuse, a City transfer deal is usually the outcome of a lengthy sequence of negotiations (often involving different clubs in different countries) with the player, his agent and finally the club he from he is bought eg

I am not convinced Paqueta is good enough. A KDB replacement, certainly not from what I've seen of him this season.

Makes zero sense. You think we negotiated with Lyon for his transfer when he’s at West Ham? We can scout a player for years - yes. But we can’t negotiate with a club “for years” when he only signed last year for them.

My typos aside, the highlighted sentence above is a memorable example of the systematic abuse of the English language - zero sense indeed.

I think our masculine fragrance sponsors might give him a swerve like they did Nunes

We'll see him playing for Fluminense in Saudi next week - see if he lives up to his YT billing then.

Remember Donny van de Beek? The £40 million player Sky Kaveh said was worth £80 million. Off to Eintracht Frankfurt on loan. Option to buy in the Summer for 11 million euros plus add ons.

Watched him in their last 2 games. Set up the first goal on Monday. Get anither chance to watch him play tomorrow night. Very skillful RB. Daft pink hair but the boy can play.. His LB partner is a better option. Madrid sold him to them and they have a buy back clause

Nice. Looking forward to him replacing Walker next season!
As always with these Buy Back’s it only matters if the player agrees to come back. We have a word in his ear and it doesn’t matter what Real say, if he doesn’t want to go back he can say no. That’s why they’re pointless.

Juventus have entered talks with Manchester City over a loan deal for England midfielder Kalvin Phillips. (ESPN)
No no no no no!! If he was a disruptive presence then yeah, get him gone. But no more helping out these Italian or Spanish teams with loans when they’ll never buy the player. If he’s indicted he wants to leave then it’s on our terms. We gave him that option in the summer and he wanted to stay and pick up money.

They can stick their loan up their arse. Fuck right off. Pay the fee or do one. Sick to death of us getting mugged off by European teams
