Why have we been named ???We've also made it more difficult now with the Mbappe allegations. Who's our plan B if Bertrand is off the radar?

Good job we signed Walker when we did. If we'd paid £40m for Mendy, Spurs would have been looking for £50m for Walker with the English premium.
yeah whatever !!

Made this point a while ago, when some said just pay an extra few million for Walker, these thing have a knock on and soon add up to an extra 30,40 ,50 mill overall.Good job we signed Walker when we did.

Semedo is going up to €50 with add ons.
€35m intial plus €5m every 50 games until €50m which will take about 3 seasons
Txiki needs to get crafty with something like this.

Because anyone with any intellect will understand whats going on here if people actually read between the line of what has been out there.
Well that's an opinion Waspish and, if it's strong enough, people might change their mind. Others will have equally valid opinions I suspect. I doubt they are all secret United supporters or under the age of 5.
We need to relax - it seems to me there are a lot of balls in the air which makes it a bit of a poker game with potential purchases. I think we shall see a lot of departures finally in the next week or so. We must listen to Pep when he says we are in for 3-4 more young players and wait to see where we are on the 1st August before panicking.
Disastrous way to negotiate....messing about with Medical called off but still wanting player. If I were Mendy, I'd say no thanks. Now to lose Danilo for same reason. I say, forget Sanchez, we're well stocked up front, and get full backs in ffs.
We may as well just not play next season and take relegation now.
F£&k me..where do you start with that..
You were party to the negotiations? Tell us more.
Bwahahahahahaha -
Have you got a link to the lose danilo section?
unlucky pal, you're about to be chased with pitch forks. You are meant to say " I am not fussed how long our transfers are dragging, I'm not fussed we have one decent full back, if we then lose Mendy we will have a replacement lined up, the season is X amount of days away" etc etc
Alternatively Tom, he could just express some concern rather than make out that he knows what the fuck is going on and label it a disaster.
They will crucify you for these comments, Nurse Ratchett will have you lobotomised and you will become a BM yes man.
Who exactly do you support?
"If I were Mendy"
This, this, and this. It's beyond cringeworthy witnessing all these armchair business tsars spouting what "they" would do instead. Txiki et al are not paid to callously spunk the Sheikh's money up the wall, these things take time and careful planning.
"If I were Mendy"... Jesus wept.
There is a reason they're armchair business tsars and not actually doing anything important, and it's not because they're good at negotiations.
Just back from the hospital, they say I'll be OK if I lie still and give up being a blue.
I stand by my point, which was about the medical and nothing else. I have negotiated many contracts in my time and the golden rule is for your counter party not to feel bullied. I believe arranging a medical and then calling it off, could be construed by Monaco as trying to force their hand. Much of the French press today has briefing from Monaco which says :"We will not be bullied by the denizens of the Etihad. We have no financial need to sell. Mendy remains our player unless we receive an acceptible offer." They have also threatened to report tapping up, no Names!
There are three parties here, and we seem to have forgotten one. Did he arrive in Mcr and was sent back?
I did not claim to be ITK, but I read the extensive reports in the Times and the French press.
On a general point, all summer our press has been saying "City are confident etc etc" Did they make that up or were we briefing them? If so, what was the basis of our confidence?
The french press does not seem to have echoed this. We were of course very confident about Alves! My tip would be to keep quiet....least said, soonest Mendy-ed.
Now, I need to lie down and get my dressings changed.
Moved SWIFTLY TO GET WALKER!!!!!!!!!! are you taking the piss? it dragged on for weeks.Why are you so certain Txiki is faffing around? Why has he chosen to faff around over Mendy but moved swiftly to sign Bernardo, Ederson and Walker? Maybe Monaco would rather not sell?
Mendy`s mate Bakayoko at Chelsea now and that might carry some influence over and above Bernado

Haha. You're showing your age there!With some of them it's a case of
"I'll scream and scream until I'm sick"
You can criticise the surgeon but if you were an ugly bugger and expected to be turned into a swan it doesn't mean that your criticism would have any validity.If I get a plastic surgery and the result isn't what I want, can I not criticize the surgeon because I have no medical knowledge? What a logic.
not by Monaco, but the MEN are quoting Sky as naming us and PSG.Why have we been named ???

You should be banned. Too much sense! ;0)I don't think so. As far as I know we're in the business to win trophies, not save money. When we have no FBs and when teams know that they'll charge us. Whose fault is it that we were with no FBs? Not mine. Who does the planning here, whose job is it? My job is to pay for tickets, to buy shirts, to support. Whose job is to plan, buy, sell?
A second point is, if you buy the right player today, you won't have to look for other players every year to replace him. Clubs like RM understand this very well. That's why almost every purchase they make is a world record. But they don't look for someone to replace CR7 or Modric every year. And they have the best FBs in the world. They're not in the market every year so desperately to replace them.
If we buy the best FBs available at whatever cost this year, we won't have to shop for new ones every year, we might just look for back ups but not be desperate.
We made the same mistake with centre halves and every fookin season we're breaking a new record on a new centre half to replace the one we got one year before. It's always the unproven, questionable ones that we get. With the money we spent on Otamendi + Mangala for a total of £63.84 mil and instead of still looking for a new centre half, we could've spent £65-70 mil on one of Sergio Ramos or Bonucci and we wouldn't be looking for one to replace them now because they're proven. See my logic here?
Logic should be same with FBs and everyone else.

Strange how we got silva done and dusted from monaco but mendy is draggin on and on you would think as we have just had dealings with them we would be on the same page regarding fees etc.
Just my opinion, but what a load of self-entitled bollocksI ain't suggesting anything but it's very hard to get through to someone when they refuse to understand.
The owners made an investment to this club to create a winner club. OK? Thank you.
Khaldoon just a month ago said the club expects to win a title or even titles next season. Did he? Yes. Thank you.
So the DoF has a job to do and the manager has a job to do, the club has set the goal: title and even titles.
Got it? Good.
And the owner not only wants a winner club but every business wants a profitable business. In the business of football profits follow winning titles. Why is this so hard to get?
I don't know if you ppl realise but the longer this transfer takes the higher Mendy's price gets. Just my observation, no source for hard evidence.
Fuck young fans - and for fucks sake let's hope you are - are so plastic
yeah whatever !!

Maybe its dawned on them that we robbed them for Bernado seeing as we paid top dollar for Walker..Strange how we got silva done and dusted from monaco but mendy is draggin on and on you would think as we have just had dealings with them we would be on the same page regarding fees etc.
Jesus I thought you were a 70's dj for a second then ;)Just my opinion, but what a load of self-entitled bollocks
