Eberechi Eze

It looks like, thankfully, this is just bullshit. Nobody with any credibility reporting this yet.

Take £120mil to Leverkusen for their wunderkind and they'll sit down and listen.

Or they won't, or maybe even we don't even want him and think the Crytal Palace player is better than the Leverkusen player.

Or they won't, you're right. But we won't know until we try.

Reports this morning that Wirtz, Barella, and Olmo are all not for sale this summer. We have inquired. After Bellingham, Rice, and Paqueta, that would make Eze our 7th choice ;). Common sense will most likely prevail, and we will go into the season with what we have and re-evaluate in January.

 

[Woody135]

Thanks for that illuminating insight. Be sure to mention that to Txiki when next you speak.

Turns out having a negative view on a potential transfer is worthy of ridicule this morning.
Cheers blue
£100m gets you: Barella; Valverde; Wirtz; de Jong etc
Yes you need to convince them but that would be the fee
Dont put Eze in the same group

We know if the right person isn't available we won't buy. I'm okay with that,

I hope you're right mate. We need midfield reinforcements but we can do a damn sight better than Eze for the money we have available.

 

[Charlesfarsbar]

Not a risk you or I need to worry about. Will he improve us is the only question imo

Ahh but it is , the more we spend on players that don’t make the grade , the less we have on players that potentially will

the higher volume of quality players we have will dictate the probability of our future success

we‘ve got this balance more or less perfect in the past with one or two exceptions

we wont agree. We place a value on a player after doing all due dilligence. We pay bean counters huge amounts of money to manage the finacial risk. Leave them to it and leave fans to discuss whether this guy brings value on the field

 

[Impeccable One]

Those two examples are the same.

Players who don’t make the grade are/were players that potentially will.

Nobody is 100% sure until they’ve played for Pep, normally for at least a year.

We'd only need to worry about it if we thought our people were negligent or reckless, they aren't so no need for us as fans to worry ourselves.

He is not playing in DM.

He is on football manager!

 

[Tangled up in blue.]

Who is available? Please do elaborate.

Everyone, if you're willing to write an cheque for £200+m

 

[Sheikh rattle and roll]

I find it quite amusing how people slag off Eze
Then state people like Barella FDJ and Writz amongst others are much much better
If the majority of these people are honest I bet they’ve not watched any of the players from the other leagues more than a couple of times at most if at all
I also suspect some of the lesser ones (like Doku) they’ve never heard of them until we got linked
But now they are experts
Quite funny really
I prefer to trust the club tbh

Edited. The same applies at everything in life

I think most Man City fans are football fans, and thus have seen the likes of Barella, FDJ and Wirtz countless times over the course of many years. Maybe not so with Wirtz due to his age, but at least for a couple of years. I could maybe agree on Doku. I have only seen him for Belgium a few times.

Additionally, we have a long-standing interest in all of the above, but they are simply not available right now. I think most of the people in this thread are not really "slagging Eze off." Instead, they suggest we should wait for the right player at the right price. That's what we have usually done over the last several years. Didn't get Kane, but we got Haaland. We opted to play without an actual striker after Kun, and it was worth it.

Eze is our +/- 7th choice target. We have publicly pursued Bellingham, Rice, Paqueta. Then, Barella was on the Pep wish list (source: Tolmies tweet). With FDJ, Pep has been a fan and we have been known to be interested for years now. Finally, we have been linked with Wirtz for months, and most see him as the KDB successor.

All in all, we all trust the club, but the division on this thread is more so regarding whether we should buy someone like Eze now or wait for one of the more obvious targets to become available in the future. Regardless, we will all support the club no matter what.

That's how I see it anyway.

Just pointing you in the right direction here. Most City fans refer to us as City, most non-City fans refer to us as Man City

 

[dadnlad]

7th choice ? we might of asked last season so where does that move him on the list

all speculation and guess work

 

[Haaland94]

That could well be true within the UK, but from my experience, in any other country people say Man City. I have personally picked up "City" back from when I used to live in England/Scotland, but I would still use both.

I may be wrong but I'd have thought most City fans don't watch that much football that doesn't involve City or teams in the P/L. I certainly never watch German, French, Spanish or Italian games, nor many C/L games that don't involve English teams.
