A better version of carrick? Carrick was criminally underrated if he is as good as him then we are set for a good 5 years. Not having it that he is better than Carrick though.

Agreed, great player Carrick , made Utd tick .

I take it that is tick tock :-)

Market value? A player is only worth what someone is willing to pay for them. We will obviously offer a fee at the lower end, just as the seller will ask for a fee at the top end. This is standard commerce, & when common sense prevails, we'll hopefully meet somewhere in the middle.

What you also need to consider is our budget in respect to FFP. There's a 3 year monitoring period, & we've spent very heavily in the last 2, so we can't go spunking huge amounts this summer window too.

There is also Napoli involved in this, & their owner is a notoriously difficult man to do business with. I fail to see how this is Txiki's fault. We can't make Napoli sell the player to us for what we're happy to pay, hence our transfer team are trying to factor in Zinchenko as a separate deal which will ease the overall financial burden on us.

Txiki has done well for City, BUT we can't go spending money we can't afford because of FFP. Our fans understanding in this respect would probably be appreciated by the club.

Some people just can`t grasp how much work and negotiations go on in any transfer.The click of fingers is all it takes and he`s ours. If only !!

The only reason I can think off of not going higher is we're saving the extra cash for a world class forward for after the world cup..

 

[Rammy Blue]

Clearly attempting to call the bluff of Napoli.

I half hope it's true. Obviously a very good player. Not sure he is a key player. If City are certain about not increasing price, I'm in agreement with moving on.

No the only reason is we don't want to pay more than we think he is worth .

 

[CityDreamer]

Can't see this happening. If it does, then we have called Napoli's bluff as someone mentioned earlier.

We move on (to bigger and better)!

All the latest noises surrounding this make it sound like the deals going to collapse

"Today there is a contact between Napoli's Giuntoli and Manchester City: Napoli will ask for some time to find the substitute. Torreira's transfer is complicated, the agent has asked 3.5m"

If Napoli keep fucking us about we should move on. The way Delph has been playing gives us plenty of midfield cover in any case.

 

[Dr Jacoby]

This isn’t one of those scenarios where we end up signing plan x on deadline day, is it?

 

[Andrew___K]

They're simply quoting English press and Jorginho's agent. If that Claudio Russo guy is right, the problem is Napoli asking to delay the deal to buy Torreira first.

 

[hammersmithlad]

€60M cash, no Zinchenko is what ADL wants.

We either pay this or move on.

I would be surprised if ADL lowers his price. This coming from a man that reportedly wanted a discount when buying Koulibaly since he read on the internet of a 10cm height difference!

He's makes Levy look like an amateur negotiator. I'm all for not getting ripped off but pick your battles & this isn't one we should waste time & energy on - just ask Sarri!

 

[Rammyblues]

Seems our limit is about 100m gross.

 

[CityDreamer]

just ask Sarri!

Im afraid that Pep has done so and thats why we are so eager on getting him. "Eager" that is.
