Transfer rumours

[nottsblue]

Later stages of Saints vs Leeds and Saints winning 1-0

THB has an obligation to buy clause for £20m if they win.

And finished. £20m for Harwood-Bellis

And the downside is Leeds now won’t go back for Phillips

Bargain for them imo.

I am a bit gutted about that. I can’t see Southampton, Ipswich or Leicester being stupid enough to go for him

Im not even sure leeds would be stupid enough to take him for free in the championship! We are stuck with him until some club becomes desperate. Cant see him kicking a competitive ball for us ever again.

He’s still got 4 years left on his contract. He signed a six year deal with us.

Talking about transfers I’m increasingly worried that next season will be Pep’s last at City.

Life goes on ffs - get a grip .

We love , and will continue to love City no matter who manages us .
The set up is all done and dusted for whoever comes in next so it’s not like it’s back down to basics is it !

Pep has given us enough ammo for years to come to throw in the faces of RATS like Neville and company .

I’m happy and at peace (till the next match thread )

[carl_feedthegoat]

Rumours being pushed of Eddy and Ortega going, along with the usual Silva bollocks.
Pensioners KDB and Walker likely to extend?

You've been reading/watching the same bollocks that JC pedals.

I understand we need to evolve but that list there cannot and won't happen, wholesale changes like that are ludicrous. We struggled having lost Gundo and Mahrez last year.

I think your in for a shock then

Just have this niggly feeling if Pep leaves at end of next season, we're getting Alonso to replace him

[Plain Speaking]

I don't think we'll get Alonso, apparently he said he wanted to manage the 3 club's he played for Bayern, Liverpool and Madrid, but wasn't sure which order to manage them?

[blues2win]

Nest season will be Ancelotti’s last. Alonso must be favourite to succeed him at the Bernabeu. That is provided he has a decent season next season and especially in the Champions League.

Ancelotti would be my choice if Pep doesn't extend there is no-one else out there who comes close. Alonso may be a decent choice after his next move but I can see it going very wrong very quickly if he went to Franco's boys next

Daily Fail pushing Pep will leave at the end of next season. That’s a huge indication we’re going to be found ‘not guilty’ in my opinion. They need some sort of negative to cling to.

But if it’s been leaked now it’s ridiculous - it will fuck our summer transfer dealings up.

I genuinely think that Pep doesn’t know what he’s going to do yet. It’ll be the usual November time when he decides. I can see him doing another season after this one for ten years and then calling it.

The 2 reporters leaking the story of Pep leaving next summer are the only 2 City supporting ones from the media pack, Blackburn and Gaughan, normally very ITK and reliable you would think the club has decided to leak the news for some strange reason!?
I think it is a big mistake to leak the news, look at Ferguson and Klopp!
It will effect recruitment and player retention and the media will be obsessed about it throughout the season.
Maybe they think it will become common knowledge and better to be transparent with recruitment targets etc. A sad day.

[salford city]

Leverkusen look to be signing García from Girona good business by them he is a far better player than either Nunes or Phillips. We need to get our business done quickly with the euros coming up.

[blues2win]

I’d be very surprised if Pep chose New York City fc for his next destination. I get the City but the football is mediocre. None of the buzz of the PL plus no ACL. Managing Brazil would be different. Or England?

Wouldn’t surprise me if it’s not a plot by Pep to make sure we go all in for his first choices this summer.

I wish he signs a 3 year extension in June to demoralise our rivals

The first choice signings are less likely to come if Pep's only here for a year!

Don't see him as an International manager myself

He would get frustrated with the quality of available players and the lack of time to work with them to get them to play the way you want.

International management is a world away from club management. You don't coach players. They should already be competent otherwise they wouldn't be chosen. What the fuck can Southgate tell Kane to improve his shooting skills? Or Foden? Or Saka or indeed 90% of the squad?

It's all about man management skills making players believe in themselves, that they are good enough to win because let's be honest here, how many players in Southgates squad of 26 actually won anything? 10? 12? And how many have win things more than twice? 6? 7?

Not many. So straight away in their psyche, they will be defeatist. You could arguably have a guy from a different sport even to do it. A proper motivator who makes the most out of what he has.
