It's Quiet 18 - Wanna ring the bell?

Sanchez wow. Finally coming to City. Hope his wage demands have cooled

We've offered him a new piano.

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

I imagine it's either/or with Kovacic and Mac Allister.

It's exactly this. Kovacic is the fall-back (cheaper) option.

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

So Bobby (Manc) is going to reappear and the last 10yrs have been a dream, I knew it was too good to be true !

That's Dallas, you clown ;)

 

[IBlue]

That's Dallas, you clown ;)

Oh yes :)

 

[Gumzy97]

It's exactly this. Kovacic is the fall-back (cheaper) option.

Brighton are going to be annoying to deal with could see them asking for 80 mil plus, especially with Bellinghams price

 

[Manc123]

so bellingham, mcallister and gvardiol..... im liking this window already even if we have to go for back up kovacic.

 

[RayCTID]

I think Kovacic is more realisitic but that all depends on wether he extends his contract at Chelsea. MacAllister would be priced out.

 

[Dr Jacoby]

Not that I think it matters but I imagine Kovacic is on significantly higher wages than Mac Allister?

Bellingham, Mac Allister, Gvardiol (not completely convinced by him but a natural replacement if Laporte leaves), a left back and a winger would be a fantastic transfer window.

It’s good to hear we’ve learned from the Cucurella scenario (in which it has to be said the Club’s stance has been more than vindicated by the singularly dreadful start to his Chelsea career), and have identified a fall back this time.

Try for Mac Allister by all means - he’s a fantastic player - but if Brighton start pissing about and completely over-valuing him like they did with Cucurella, move on quickly and get the back up in place for pre-season.

 

[RayCTID]

I don't think Kovacic isn't on higher wages than we pay our players at the minute. But if he wants that then we probably look elsewhere. The other issue with Kovacic is agent fees and signing on fees on top.

 

[Protein Junkie]

Would love to see Mac Allister with us as long as not too over priced.
Bit dubious about weakening one of the Dippers rivals though.

Brighton will use the money wisely and strenghten themselves even further.

 

[CADE MCFC 1894]

Mac Allister is class! Is it alongside Bellingham though or instead?

Both

 

[foggy1974]

It's exactly this. Kovacic is the fall-back (cheaper) option.

So roughly
It's 125m for Bellingham
80 to 100m for Gvardiol
& 70m + for Mac Alister

That will boil some piss in the summer if it comes to fruition

 

[MadchesterCity]

Carrington?
John Collins coming out of retirement to replace Pep

 

[Bluemoon has risen]

McAllister is a baller, think he'd be great with Bellingham but I just can't see us paying what Brighton will want. They are a joke to deal with.

We still need to get a winger too

 

[vincent]

We still need to get a winger too

Not convinced we will buy one…

This ^^^^^ Cucurella did everything he could to force a move. Bloom stood firm and Chelsea actually exceeded his crazy valuation. I think in hindsight our valuation was about right and Chelsea overpaid. We ain’t gonna get McAllister for much less than we pay for Bellingham- should we get him. Whomever doesn’t get Bellingham will lump in on McAllister - so that’ll force the price up even more. Would Liverpool have wasted so much on Darwin if we hadn’t landed Haaland ?

 

[argyle]

How long until the 'twitter transfer accounts' start saying their 'sources' say Bellingham, MacAllister and Gvardiol?
