Jorginho

Evans appeared to be first choice in Jan. Then we got Laporte. Therefore it's not a given that an alternative won't work out for Pep and City.
 
Seems our limit is about 100m gross.

I seriously doubt this. This is more about negotiation position and other variables, which includes our own valuation of players based in part by need and the market.

We are also clearly open to spending a massive amount on Mbappe so I believe our Chairman’s statement on the matter. It’s more flexible than a set spend amount.
 
This what bothers me the most, trying to negotiate with stubborn directors with big reputations. We supposedly had our targets months ago. Did we forget to ask what the absolute price is before we get to where we are today?

Could “moving the goal posts” maybe be what’s up? That’s what I think is our beef.
 
And as I have said before, don't think we have a leg to stand on from a negotiation point of view. Richest club in the world + premier league champions prize money + only needing two signings, if I was Laurentiis I would have asked for 60 million too.
Worth about £2.5m compared to 2nd.
 
Really like Jorginho, will be disappointed if we back out over a few million. Its admirable that we're sticking to our guns but the two lads mentioned as alternatives are totally different players. Just seems weird to move on from your number one target identified over the course of months and agreed with a tactical genius to then bin all that so quickly.

I guarantee we are haggling over £5 mill tops . If pep wants him just pay it in my eyes this guy is £50 mill all day long so can’t understan why we are lo balling again
 
More to this than meets the eye.
Could be just fed up with Napoli usual trick of moving goal posts.
Could be financials are tight if we want Mahrez.
Could be a ruse to get manoo to bid!
Could be a signal to the market...days of the City premium well and truly over.
 
Why are we not targeting N'Zonzi? He is perfect for what we need with the position with pinging passes, defensive duties, and dealing with the press as hes constantly shown vs Pool. Absurd we aren't buying him at a similar age/price we bought Dinho for.
Not good enough.
 
If we miss out on Jorginho due to a few million here and there and their owner doesn't back down and refuses our offer, we have dropped a bollock. Summer plans completely scrapped, back to the drawing board and start again.

We either get first choice targets or we keep what we have got.

Not sure Yaya will be offered a new contract.
 
Would not be bothered if we walked away from this. I’d forget Mahrez and Jorginho and spend the money on deli ali. Pep would do wonders for him and mould him into a key player for city.
We lack a horrible tw@t and he would give it to them dippers

We're looking for a pivot and someone that can play across the front line, not a no 10 with zero creativity that hangs around the box looking for loose balls. He'd still be sitting on the bench behind Silva and KDB when they were both in their 40s.

So he would be useful for 2 games a season? good plan
