That's our "big Rice money" signing? No thanks, I would rather go into season with what we have and get Wirtz next season. Buying a 25yo one season wonder with 1 England app to his name for 90m quid? This is not a Man City level signing. More like United.

I am 100% in lock step with you. I was just going to post just keep McAtee and save the money if that's our only option...
 
Im quite happy with the targets actually.. Eze needs to move now though if hes going, hes already 25 and to take the next step Pep needs to get a hold of him not to give him some structure and and make him flourish from there similarly to KDB, not any comparison in any other way though, but both of them where very free souls that need structure to really excel I feel.

And Doku will give the chaos that will be need to be reigned in at times as well, but not so that he doesnt do what hes been put on the pitch to do, hes much younger though.

And Barella is much more of a Klopp signing to me and older as well, Wirtz would have been very nice though.. but doesnt want to move Ive heard with the home Euros coming up next summer.

That's what I suggested in another post. Eze is a decent player, but to go from the likes of Bellingham, Rice, Barella, and Wirtz to Eze? How does he improve us? People saying it's not our money are missing the point. At 90m quid, or just slightly more, we can get someone levels above Eze, both in skill and potential. If no such player is available, let's wait. That's what we have always done, and it has always worked out for the best. If we buy him now, we are not going to go for a high-profile midfielder next summer that we really need.

edit: @JewelZee, I have just realised you are most likely referring to my McAtee post :).

I think we have to trust our management team on who they target and bring in.

But then after we've watched them for a while we should be free to judge.

So for example if we accept a signing like Phillips (a bit of a surprise at the time), then we give him time (12- 18 months) and if people feel afterwards that it was a bad signing then they should be listened to and not slated.

(PS I'm still hoping he'll get good)

None of you slagging this signing would know a good player if they bit you on the arse. He's pure fucking class and would be incredible for City.

Bullshit. Go pull that dismissive bullshit on somebody who gives a fuck. When you get fair minded opinions from the likes of CrushtheCartel, Haaland94 and myself among others posting against a potential signing it says this isn't the usual "no one's good enough" BM nonsense typically seen with every player we're rumored to be in on...Eze for us is spotty off the jump...at 90mil its absolutely fucking ridiculous!

Any forum should be about expressing opinions, regardless of whether we agree with our management or not, without offending people we disagree with. We can say the management is always right, but we wouldn't have a forum then. They are not always right, but I think we all trust them and will support their decisions in the end because of our enormous success. In the meantime, we are all just discussing potential options.

Who would you sign then? And nobody has bid 90million for anybody yet. Barella aint leaving Italy and Wirtz isn't leaving Germany. Eze has all the qualities to be a brilliant player for City and if you can't see it then you don't have fucking eyes !
 
Eze at £90m is just not acceptable whether its my money or the Sheikhs. I’d take him at £50m-£60m at the very most. Really disappointed if this is who we end up blowing a bag for.

In terms of the player, I can see him being successful under Pep and playing well for us. Im just struggling to wrap my head around this fee.
 
I don’t get why some people have a go at fans saying it’s not your money etc but the fact is due to ffp we only spend x amount and if spending 100 mil on jack rodwell meant we missed out on aguero for example I don’t get why fans can’t be annoyed? 90 mil can buy a lot better player and a much more valuable player, i don’t think any club should pay more than 50 mil for a player that isn’t going to be in their best 11 yet alone 90 it just feels like he’s our 5/6 th choice target in that position but for that much personally I’d rather us wait a year and get our next first or second choice
