People were saying the same about Renato Sanches, Belotti and a hundred other kids. A year later they're all shit.

Renato Sanchez looked the worst player in a pretty poor Swansea side

I’ve read a quote from Benfica president somewhere today saying something along the lines of “we can’t make him stay when he is being offered 6 million a year after tax”

Seems maybe hyperbole from a Club president explaining to his fans why he’s selling their best player.

How many of them did we buy?

Pep was going to become manager of Juventus according to Twitter mate.

There's plenty of time yet.
No smoke without fire.
Haven't you seen his farewell video?

Whether it’s 100m or £7.50, what difference does it make to you personally?

Personally, doesn't make difference to any of us, but as City fans it does. If you buy someone and lose the money on him if he eventually doesn't work, than you cut that money from budget to buy someone else on that or other position.

I understand what you want to say, but it's not that black and white, specially with so many rules and regulations about money spent, wages etc.. there is a difference.

And that’s why we employ people paid millions of pounds to make those decision professionally.

True, but they still don't have power to stop someone discussing about it on forums. They are not trying that, though.

Neither am I. People out forward their views. I put forward mine. Although it should be noted, that apparently made me a **** on welfare.

Phil has been ahead of Jaden in every year that Jaden was at City. If he moved to Germany like Sancho, hew would be playing first team football regularly and playing for England now. As far as running away, it is quite simple. You take up the challenge that you have at your club, or you leave because it is easier to get first team football with an inferior team. I do believe Jaden has great skill and potential, but to suggest Foden is potential and Sancho is a £100m player is quite ridiculous. Which is what the poster I replied to was suggesting.

The very definition of potential.

In short, he isn't in Germany and he isn't starting for England. Sancho actually is doing both. Hence why he is Currently without a doubt ahead of Phil.

Pep will turn him into a world beater, I mean as good as our manager is I bet Pep could even turn Phil Jones into the new Johnny Evans

Foden has all the attributes but he still has a lot of hard work ahead of him to get into the starting 11.

I would be surprised if we have paid the clause but not yet reached an agreement with the player, if we have both in place then he is ours. I'm also surprised if we have paid the full release clause.

Over his contract of I presume 5 years so thats around 100k a week.

 

[Homar]

We wouldn’t pay the release clause before having agreed a contract with the player.

Cannot agree with player before agreeing with the club first, with the fee.

Officially, no. In reality it's almost always the other way round.

We are just like Bayern then

Just like every team. The difference between us and Bayern and some others we don't do it publicly through the media.

It’s always agreed with the player before agreeing with the club. That’s what agents do.
