CL or not we need a quality CB and they don't come cheap. Whether he'd come or not only he could answer, I don't buy into this 'every player in the history of football wants to play in the CL at the expense of everything else'.Maybe. But would we spend 70m+ on one player if not in champion's league and would he want to come if weren't in it?
Now that the rats are crowned champions, are we going to release what we have against them to the media?
Absolutely. Top centre backs are rare and cost a lot. We have no choice but to spend big. We can recoup some cash by selling Stones and Otamendi and give Garcia a chance as back-up to the new signing (Koulibaly?) and Laporte.CL or not we need a quality CB and they don't come cheap.

It would be reckless for City to buy Koulibaly for €80m (a crazy fee for a 29 year old in a post Covid environment) without knowing they were in the CL next season. I'd put good money that they won't. If it does happen, I think we can join the dots.

Even if we do, no fucker will listenI can't wait for the shit storm to happen that's what Prestwich blue said
Did they say that? All I heard the cunnts say was liverpool liverpool liverpool and liverpoolBT now commentating that "city are already sure to qualify for the champions league and Chelsea want to join them". The language of the broadcasters is changing markedly....
Would the blue cones be a indication the decision is imminent or it’s imminence to being imminent...
Wishful thinking, after Liverpool's past record in tragedy and "incidents" nothing sticks to them and even if they are guilty of something, it won't be their fault!I can't wait for the shit storm to happen that's what Prestwich blue said
I don’t see it that way. Worse come to worse we get banned. We still need to build a team that will be capable of taking the Premiership back next season. With the defence we have now we have no chance.It would be reckless for City to buy Koulibaly for €80m (a crazy fee for a 29 year old in a post Covid environment) without knowing they were in the CL next season.

So a solid investment of a player this quality makes sense. Yes he is 29. Still has 5 or six years left. 10-12m per season for one of the best 5 cb in the world is a no brainer
Can’t see a 29 year old of Koulibaly ‘s quality signing for a team banned from the C/L, so regardless of the money side doubt we could get him without knowing.I don’t see it that way.

We need a player in their prime. We don't need someone who will be in their prime in 3 years. We need to win the league next year - and we need a top class centre half in their prime to do that€80m equals £72M divided by five years is over £14 million a year
Add to that £150k a week wages (£7.8M) and the player is costing nearly £22M per season
Paying huge sums for player in their prime or past it should be an absolute no no

Wednesday marks 3 weeks since the end of the hearing. I can’t see us having to wait too much longer for the outcome. CAS said first half of July so that could be as early as Wednesday itself.
