My thoughts exactly......I don't think this deal is dead for us, i suspect we pulled out of the two horse race in order to let the rags and Leicester to agree on a fee without us being drawn further into the equation. Once set if we can see any value in the deal we may jump back in.
It's his own little in joke.Hes average at best.
See post above yours.He would have made us stronger. The fee is irrelevant.

15/20m either way means fuck all. Of course he's not worth that but thats the market price for a current English international. Its the price we pay for selling our soul to sky. everyone know prem teams are wadded.The fee is very relevant. We need to work to a budget and it's important to stick to our valuations, otherwise people will try to mug us over future transfers.
If Ushited go through with this, anytime a club sells to them they will expect nothing less than an exhorbitant fee (which they already do tbh).
Dias at BenficaSo who is our next target for CB if any? I dont get why we were not in for Manolas he went so cheap from Roma. If we really need homegrown player to come in we are fucked a bit UK defenders not that good. Like Maguire not bad but not a high class defender still costing a club record price...
75m was a steel for vanDyke regardless of the Maguire fee.If reports are true that he's going to united for £80m, it makes the VVD deal - which was absolutely ridiculous 12 months ago - look like a bit of a steel.
I did hope that we signed him, if he was the man Pep wanted, but I do like the way City won't be forced to pay well over the valuation.
I predict it's just a matter of time before those, that now accuse us of 'buying the league', start calling us stingy and tight fisted.
Price is not irrelevant as explained often before and most certainly is relevant in this case. There are a small nimber of players you would throw the financial rulebook out the window for HM is not one of them. We have numerous alternatives for the short term and in the long run we will hopefully get an ideal target.75m was a steel for vanDyke regardless of the Maguire fee.
The price for any player is irrelevant if they fit into the team/squad and are successful.
I'm hoping in the long term Garcia or Hardwood can step up and be that replacement.Price is not irrelevant as explained often before and most certainly is relevant in this case.

Price is irrelevant when the team has lost its leader and still very good CB, has Otermendi in decline and John Stones MIA at important times during the season.Price is not irrelevant as explained often before and most certainly is relevant in this case.

any player from the premier league will be a very high fee, the simple reason is English clubs don't really need the money, if you think that the relegated teams get £100m ,teams that don't yoyo are minted and aren't forced to lower their prices.
