Danilo must have a bit about hit to have earned a move to Madrid in the first place. He looks quick, strong and maybe just needs pep to take him under his wing.

If he was ripping up trees at a second rate club he would cost twice as much.

Proven ability in the past. Just needs a bit of love.

Im all for it.

Well then, lets test that theory.
Fullbacks ripping up trees at 2nd rate club:

Karsdop. 14 m
Hernandez 24 m
Rodriquez 15 m
Conti 24 m
Semedo 30m
Kongolo 13
Berchiche 11

Literally, no fullbacks moving from a medium club cost what we are about to pay. All these claims don't hold up.

I don't know if you three were being intentionally obtuse but it was pretty obvious @Hamsterdam95 was talking about Sancho moving away because players like Maffeo - who could play understudy to Walker - don't get chances in situations like this.

My colleague is a Spaniard and a Madrid fan and he's absolutely delighted with €30m for this guy.

Why do you care about the price again? I can never really remember.

We are about to pay what Barcelona paid for semedo, kinda puts it into perspective

I feel a bit embarrassed that we are spending that much on a back-up RB. And despite it not working out in Madrid. Is by all accounts a highly rated talent.

If we sign Mendy and Bertrand as well. We will have spent about 150m on FB's this season.

I don't think that you should look at him as just a backup right-back. He is extremely versatile in that he can play at left-back and probably also as a CDM. Bear in mind that Fernando looks to be on his way out. Danilo could function as backup/rotation at both fullback positions and CDM. He'd get plenty of game time and it would be significantly less expensive than signing three individual "backup" players. This could pave the way for a *big money* signing like Mbappe or Neymar. I don't believe for one second that City will just watch Neymar walk toward PSG without putting up an almighty fight.

O wish I could tell you. Its the way I care when Debryune fails o pass it to an open man or Aguero floffs a gilt edge chance or Otamendi has a brain fart
Even if we still win the game, I still worry about that miss, that fart, that poor decision. I do because it is either a marker for the future, or an opportuniry to correct for the future.

I care about all aspects of City players. From recruitment, to performance.

Sadly, I think most do too. They just pretend not to. How do I know? Coz when the "Pogba cost those fukkers 100 million compared to 21 million for Ilkay" discussion comes up, a lot of the I don't care folks are always in attendance.

Not to mention, when we pay 43 million for a rising Bernado the "its a bargain" crew cannot applaud it enough. And rightfully so.

I just happen to do both sides. Applaud when it's great and shake my head when it seems excessive.

But here is the kicker, I don't even flap until someone pretends its some bargain. So why I'm the one go gets flak beats me. If it doesn't matter either way, give as much flak to the guys who love discussing bargains too, no?

Bet they do. He will always play second fiddle there. £26.9m is about OK price for us, for a versatile player who did play a part in their CL win two seasons ago. In Brazil he has also been below the pecking order after Alves. But watching him it's easy to see that he's a flair player who has creativity in spades.



Tall and has speed to get in the box, and dribbles and crosses. I bet he will be a success in the league.

Players who proved they are good enough at the top level because they were given the chance to play there yes... you can't definitively say someone is or isn't good enough to play at the top level until they are given the chance...Bojan was a monster at youth level, what's he up to these days?
