we win a shitload of trophies so its fine, but transfer season always seem to be a bit of a circus with us.

City apart from when there is a release clause for a player, will always have a maximum value they will pay for a player. They will not deviate from this strategy and as you mentioned it doesn't seem to stop us winning trophies.

Yeah i always find this narrative that a club wants to buy first to hide what transfer fee they are getting for a player. In this day and age its laughable that that sort of thing apparently can be hidden

And if he picks up a serious injury while fucking about premium season ?
They lose 100 mill

That is their loss, not ours. They will be aware of how much money they can make off of this. Different case if they’re trying to hold on to him, which isn’t true since they’re just a selling club. It’s just a matter of time. They will also want to create more drama by involving another club.

Usually at the asking price it is easy to create links to other clubs. The positive bit is no other club has come in (yet) or linked to try for a move. It has just been City and City only. Price is definitely a factor I guess, but shows we’ve been working on this for a while.

I’ll run my next speculative post by you to make sure it meets standard. Maybe.

If you stand back it's actually hilarious what the transfer window does to some people.

Not a circus at all. Quite the opposite in that we keep everything under wraps. The circus aspect comes from no nothings who keep speculating every minute of every day

Unfortunately, all we know is it’s amateur hour from either City or Leipzig. Hopefully one way or another it is closed as quickly as possible.

I don’t think it’s amateur hour on behalf of either club. Sometimes we get frustrated because it takes time. Both clubs involved have their own agenda and need to look after their own interests. We live in a world of 24 hour news and information has become a valuable commodity. Unless you tune out of the noise and are prepared to have patience, you will allow yourself to be influenced by dick heads like that weird Romaro character and his childishness tweets and catchphrases.

That said I do still enjoy the speculation and the info posted here by those who share what they are told. Keep it up fellers..

Cheer up, it’s FRIDAY and we won the treble. Like a funeral in here, you’d think it was the Rag Cafe.

And those groups are not mutually exclusive !

Sure it will. £100m deals don't fall apart due to what appears a bit of a minor disagreement..especially when the player seems dead set on making the move

He’s reliable and I doubt the deal falls through because of comments that may have been misconstrued.

Bummer…

Bummer…

This looks like it’s being done on purpose now.

True don’t forget happy clappers.

Don't understand what difference it makes if they don't want the fee known and waiting for a replacement at Leipzig ,any selling club will know Leipzig have come or are coming into money and will need a centre half or they must live in a cave ?

The difference is you have made facts when Gvardiol has signed for City. Leipzig then would need a replacement good enough for CL.
Lyon would have a field day threatening they only sell to their conditions.

If Leipzig KNOW they can sell Gvardiol 100% at an agreed price (which still seems the case to me) they don't a have a (big) risk buying first. Now they can negotiate with Lyon and have the cards to say 'no, in that case we keep Gvardiol'. And keep him (or at least they could claim it). They don't have to sell after having brought in enough cash.
