How could he have gone to city if you would not pay the fee. Are you expecting him to pay the difference.

shouldn’t you be on the Chelsea forum now ?

We don’t know the ins and outs but we got Haaland and Phillips for under market value so if we go slightly over with the final piece in our jigsaw, what’s the harm

This. We spent 100m on grealish last season and in peps own words we justified this from the sales of outgoing players that summer. Seems we have tried to bargain too hard (regardless of our valuation) and been gazumped.

I know people like applauding the "take it or leave it" approach we seem to take, and it's worked for us in the past. But could it leave us in a position where players are less likely to push for moves here in future, if they see how often we've walked away from deals with players who were desperate to join us before?

There'll be that expectation that they could be left high and dry if they do and it doesn’t work out, Kane a good example. Albeit I'm very glad we did there.

We're not going to have the Pep pull forever so we need to be mindful of how these things will be viewed by future players we target too.

Regardless of that, I still can't believe Zinchenko was allowed to leave prior to serious movement on this transfer. Baffling.

Addressed this before. Fee obsessed Brighton fans.

Plan B. is there a release clause on Luke shaw‘s contract ?

I bet he wouldn't be keen on Riyad pasta

 

[Trickyblues]

He will be a a City player by the end of the weekend.

It’s over lol

They either don’t rate Chilwell or his Injury is more serious than thought? Why blow another £50m on a lb when they have bigger issues in other positions.

Yep didn't Mendy have that same injury and he was a shadow of his former self (in more ways than one).

 

[Dzeko9]

Plan b is Sosa i guess.

 

[wolviedinho]

He was commited to you, he asked forva transfer, many on hear said he neededto do that, then alot said that shows he wants us. If its true that his agent pushed the transfer request due to having assurences from city that they will sign him, then city have let him down. Whats he supposed to do say sorry Chelsea but i wont sign for you because i still want a move to city.

Yes. Committed for 1 day is not the type of player we want at the club.

Would you pay £10 for a mars bar I’m mean it’s only £9 difference

 

[Thaksinssoldier]

You don’t let Zinchenko and Pedro Porro leave unless you know you’re sorted.

Stay calm lads.

 

[jrb]

Still can’t believe we have walked away over £10m considering the money we have made from sales this year. If we don’t sign a LB it’s a disgrace.

This.

The disgrace bit I'm not sure about.

Not having a proper left back yet isn't great, especially after player sales this summer and the prize money from last season.

Maybe disgrace is a bit strong but not having 1 senior natural LB for a club of our stature is crazy!

The take it or leave it approach will probably be ditched as soon as Pep is gone anyway, so a bit of a moot point that one. Otherwise, fair question.

The rags would not sell him to us and besides that I rather bring the player that can't be mentioned back from the cold than sign one of their expensive flops

 

[Charliegull]

Lol

No need to get antsy.

So much nonsense in one post, well done you.

The player did not do enough to move. His agent must have known the chavs were interested before yesterday!

Fee this and fee that is nothing but tosh. For a start the fee originally was £35m, city offered £40m. Brighton then continued to play games. Now the chavs suddenly arrived and the player is away lol.

Come on now, don’t embarrass yourself anymore. Thanks for the laugh tho -:)

IT WAS NOT £35m. Some ex footballer said the he thunks city might gget him for that price. Brighton said £50m you bid 30.

Haha love the positivity... Potentially unfounded by track record, but love it anyway!!
