if utd are valuing lego head at 40m then 30m is laughable
Don't think the rags transfer dealings is a good reference point on whats good business. They usually value their unwanted players way too high, meaning nobody buys them, leading to them having a massive squad with overpaid and unhappy players they "can't" get rid off. In fact, we should be doing the exact opposite of what they are doing in almost all regards.
 
I guess the game of Gvardiol musical chairs is ending.

I wouldn't know what has gone on at Juventus that warranted the penalty, but the end result is they wouldn't be City's competitors in CL for a while. They aren't exactly bringing in a stellar cast, so Allegri will have to use all his powers as a coach to overcome the weakness in the squad. I don't think Allegri has been known for his coaching acumen.

Before Laporte's injury, he used to hit those cross-field passes to the right flank, with pace and accuracy. At the receiving end, Bernardo or Mahrez was there. It was beautiful and amazing. Laporte would do it over and over in a match. Unfortunately, after the injury, he hasn't done much of it. Guardiola has brought a lot more of the element of control to City's game, but Laporte probably doesn't want to stress the knee too much, either. Whenever there is a contact to his knee, he has a look of horror, understandably so. Despite all that, he was there and did it for City last season, and this season, as well.
 
i think the Laporte fee (if true of course) is all about book value for us (i`m sure that will be clear profit on the books now) and about squad space and wages to allow the Gvardiol deal to happen. Would be nice if we tried for Chiesa though as part of the deal.
 
Id take either or both tbh.
Source isn’t all that, but if you look at the squad they already have Tchoameni, Camavinga, Bellingham, Valverde, Modric, Kroos and Ceballos (and Guler) for 3 spots, and they want to sign Mbappe. Makes sense to sell one of them to make some money. I’d take either of the two. Tchouameni would be more similar to Rice if we’re looking for a slightly more defensive minded player. Valverde obviously more attacking, but can play RW too which is a big plus if either Bernardo or Mahrez goes

I remember sam lee saying city were genuinely interested in tchoumeni in the year he moved but just too much money in the end as it was the same summer as grealish and potentially kane I believe

I'd be throwing Laporte, Cancelo and cash at the to get either. Valverde is an obvious fit, Tchouameni could be moulded into anything under pep.
 
Spanish international - peak years - multiple trophy success (when played), Yrs learning under Pep in an elite side. Seems cheap.
That fee Is a result of the Sulk Tax, moody Park Bench Lip equals low ball price to attract any suiters willing to take a chance on a disgruntled player.

Forgot about Cancelo be a miracle we can find a buyer for him it be a loan move if we can get out the door for 20m I’d do it
