It's Quiet 17 - Glory Thread

On the day that we agree the Phillips fee at £42m plus add-ons, this is a weird take. Cucurella deal will have add-ons too. In fact most deals that don’t involve a release clause are structured like that.

I’m pointing out the reporting always states our fees as most we pay and minimum we receive

The club is doing fantastic business this summer. Paying decent fees for quality and recouping decent fee for players who have only 1 season left to run is impressive.

No need to be negative. The days of city being fleeced look over.

i was being negative about the reporting of our fees not the fees themselves

oooh. Interesting.

No doubt another Sancho type deal with buy backs and sell on fees. I guess he feel hes not breaking in the first team anytime soon and he is seeing his pals like bynoe gittens getting game time at Dortmund etc.

More money in the pot I guess.....for the Big One!

Loads of academy lads will be leaving in the next year or two with buy-back options I reckon. Delap, Lavia two notable ones. McAtee I think will hang around a little longer, with a loan or two.

Sancho 2.0? Or not as good?

I think Sancho was a better player at that age to be honest, But football is a funny old game. Sancho career could really hit a stumbling block being at the Rags now and more than likely won't progress whereas Edozie career could take off from next season onwards in Germany.

hope there is a buyback

people have too much a hardon for buybacks, we don't ever use them, we used it one time for angelino and he wasn't good enough to stay, made a decent profit on him but no one will want to return to the club only to be re-sold again. end of the day if someone has the potential to play for city, don't sell them to begin with. imo they are selling the ones that they don't feel will make it here so i dont really think the buybacks are that necessary
 
A fair number of outgoings from the youth team or maybe it's just that, like buses they are all happening at once. A lot of talented youth throughout all age groups at City they won't all make it but a shame to see them go without having more of a chance. Have to trust the club on who they think will make it with us and of course the players themselves will have to do what they feel is best for them.

Can I just point out that who ever we sign above and beyond now - when we look back on this window the BIG signing is Haaland.

With Alverez who I think is under estimated to date, it’s a great window already.

Phillips incoming plus coco the clown if the price is right.

With gabby (sadly) out for what seems like a good fee, There does seem to be some additional fund raising going on though too doesn’t there :-)

Re the Jesus & Phillips deals? Jesus cost £27m in 2017 and has a book value of around £4.5m with a year left on his contract - selling for 10x his book value with a year left is amazing business.

Buying Phillips for £42m is good business - 26, England regular and 2 years left on the contract
