Love to know what they class as an unreasonable bonus from us.

It was final £5m paid when we had won away at Spurs.

I doubt Txiki reacts well to being given a deadline. He’s seemingly walked away from deals for less.

Hopefully it gets sorted.

I think this deadline is bs, just trying to put the pressure on us now which I don't think we'll succumb to. 50/50 this deal I feel

I think it's a bit more than 50/50 Fordy. Maybe 50.5/49.5? ;-) Seriously though, I think he'll be a blue before our season kicks off. Just my gut feeling pal.

This site isn’t for influencing the club, it would be silly to think that. However, it’s for fans to chat among themselves isn’t it?

its also not about always bigging up our players in a faux allegiance way, and daring to criticise , as some of us like being realistic. The players are just commodities to make our club successful and that’s what we all want yes?

Players come and go, but us fans stay put, stick it out and pay a high price for the privilege, mostly for our entire lives - so it matters when they are seen as just inhibiting our clubs progression and ability to win stuff.

unfortunately, nice chap I could see myself having a beer with, but NOT good enough for our team, and seen by some, me included, as retarding our progress in the transfer window as a result. Sadly for him and us, he was a very bad buy and he needs to go for his sake as much as ours. only then will I stop having this opinion on him, because he hasn’t the natural abilities to improve enough.

we are entitled to say this………..

I’m not phillips biggest fan.
But for the money it’s not a bad bad buy imo.
Should get most of our money back for an England international at his age.
He just does not suited to this city pep team.
Very limited in what he can do. Maybe pep and his team thought they could develop him.
Most of our players are comfortable playing in multiple positions. Kelvin has one job so would need to be exceptional at it but he is not.
All the points you make I agree with but, a bad bad buy would be a maguire for £80m and would be lucky to get £30m

No fucking about this time, hopefully.

Sounds like Laporte maybe does have something lined up then but only if/when we sign Josko?

 

[jrb]

FFS, just pay it, and give them what they won't! Be done with it.

Get the lad training with the rest of the squad. And watch him become an important part of the Treble winners.

 

[waspish]

We waiting till the euro rate exchange makes it £1 less than the rags paid for Maguire so he wont be the most expensive centre back.. you heard it first here..[emoji6]

 

[Txiki Txiki Bang Bang]

No fucking about this time, hopefully.

Assuming there was ever any fucking about I can guarantee that it wasn't at our end.

Not seen any firm links for Laporte from any club. I can see him going on loan.

Don't know mate I've not looked am on my jollies :)

Hope you got the right plane for once :-)

Possibly mate, just in the article Gaughan says Laporte still wants to leave so he must be talking to clubs behind the scenes?

Ha ha that's very good ;)
You can have that.

Tixi has misplaced his signing sweater , he thought he had packed it for the far East tour but when he opened his Samsonite it was nowhere to be seen . Rumour has it that it has been stolen to stop us signing any more players .

First our database now our sweaters - dipper bastards!

 

[lionheart]

Now that Leipzig have imposed a time deadline as well as a silly price tag, I can see City walking away and try hanging on to Laporte instead. Maybe look again next summer.

I don’t see why he’s not part of the deal. It suits all parties you’d think.

Would be nice mate, but I'm also fine with Laporte staying a bit longer

It’s really not a silly price tag at all (in terms of football money). Leipzig do not need to sell him.
