Aymeric Laporte

According to an Italian sports journal, Pep is willing to let Laporte go for only £25.6 m (Euro 33m), which is bloody insulting.

That's just Juventus trying to low-ball us. Not a chance he goes for that money.

Haha yeh ok

 

[RayCTID]

And Gvardiol is how much? Yep it does seem clubs are trying to low ball us.

Is gvardiol going to play left back? Unsure why, when laporte is the more proven player and serial winner we are giving him.away and spanking money on the Croat

First six words should tell you want you need.

As said in the other thread, this is similair to the price we've paid for Kovacic. It doesn't seem at all realistic to expect a club like Juve or Barca to offer 40m for a 29 year old, who is a very good player but hardly walking into our or Real or Bayern's team.

Not really everyone knows we want to sell him so that fee plus he is on big wages is fee we have no option to jet him out the door

Pep doesn’t decide the price we sell a player for so that’s the end of that made up rumour.

I’m what world does Maguire go for 80m and Eric for 25m?!

The world where the prem teams made a deal to overinflate players or not sell to city and de value our players on sales ..true story!

Today's Maguire probably goes for 25m also. As someone said in another thread we got kovacic for 25/30 . So it's not that bad for a guy who wants out and we have barely used him for a season .

Think them dicks in Trafford have a similar issue to what you say . Liverpool are picking up players half price compared to the quotes the Trafford Red socks have been quoted.

 

[Cellarite]

The Italians are the masters of the transfer. I swear Inter and Lukaku colluded when Chelsea bought him, then he kicked off and said he missed Inter, then went back on loan. I wouldn’t mind a bet that Juventus and Pogba was a similar situation.

 

[bigstanhibbert]

I had to translate your thread title, which door do you have up for sale?

That's just bollocks, plus Pep doesn't negotiate transfer fees

Just saying we're not the only one's getting dry bummed. Liverpool seem to have a Top cashback type deal somehow.

 

[ojeme]

I may be in the minority but I’d rather keep Laporte and pass up Gvardiol than spend €100m on the latter and receive €33m for the former.

I know that there is an excitement that comes with signing a new talent - especially one with high prospects - and that it’s not our personal money being spent but at the end of the day I feeling like the value add of bringing in Josko and losing Laporte may be very little considering the vastness of the sums being quoted for both players.

I’m what world does Maguire go for 80m and Eric for 25m?!

In a world where Maguire is 3 years younger and with more than one Premier League club wanting to buy him.

The Premier League is so far ahead these days - with 16 of the 30 richest football clubs - that if players want to go abroad there isn't much of a market for them. West Ham are as rich as the Milan clubs, so the prices we're seeing for purchases between PL clubs, or coming in to the PL, are not realistic for anyone outside of Real, Barca, Bayern and PSG.

If they don't want Laporte, and we aren't/he isn't keen on a PL switch, then there aren't really any other clubs out there who are paying £60m for 29 year olds.
