Insurance. And the risk of getting injured should just about be equal whether he is playing in Lisbon or at City.

I forgot about insurance
As you were

 

[SWP's back]

More than the risk of injury would be do you want him getting more first team matches or do you want him working with Pep on a day to day basis?

Guess that’s up to Pep.

 

[yankblue]

Can't swear on it, but pretty sure I read somewhere that we offered £40m whilst he was still a virtual unknown

Yep, that's the one I remember as well.

 

[DTeacher]

If it gets him for £60 rather £100m then I’m sure we would. Makes sense for him to get another year of starting every game under his belt as well.

£60 would be a steal.
Even I can afford that.

;)

Seriously, your post makes sense to me:)

My post was in relation to Arsenal's pathetic scrambling around on deadline day 2 summers ago to replace Sanchez when City thought they had the transfer all agreed.
Were they not going to sign Lemar for 80million but he didnt want to go there? Shambolic.

I understand what you are saying and i know we let gabby stay where he was for 6 mths but that wasn't as much money,i wouldn't like to be the one that sorts out the contract on this one,what if he breaks a leg or does his archilles?

If we were to get him for anything over £60 million then I don’t think he should be going back on loan you pay that money for a first team player not a loan player

Spurs 40/1 ? With Levy holding the purse strings ? 200/1 at the very least.

Who is favorite to sign him ?

Who is favorite to sign him ?

The club with the shortest (lowest) odds. Currently it's Man City.

I'd much rather keep Sane than sign this lad assuming the two decisions are mutually exclusive.

Can we do both?

 

[bumbleblue]

Can we do both?

I think we can as Vinnie took a foreign slot so we have one available . Which means if we are signing anyone else they have to be English or others have to go. I am not 100% sure but seems like that to me.

 

[Barcon]

A stupid question here.I think I know the answer but, If we sign him on a five year contract and then loan him back to Benfica does that loan season come off his 5 years?
And does he earn the new improved salary while he's with Benfica?

 

[kolongie]

Come on guy you said after the nations league you would tell the world you coming to City. In case you did not realize the tournament is over, tick toc

Yes and yes. Benfica would either give us a loan fee or help subsidize his salary for the season though.

Great question. I was thinking the same thing. Unless they drop the price by 20% it makes the loan idea pretty stupid.

Surely if we buy this lad then those money grabbing tight arses at Bayern will know we need to sell sane and pull our pants down over the price?
