We need to find alternatives - can’t see this happening
I know I said I will no longer post with regards to transfers but I couldn’t help myself here.Bruno wants the move. City have been given the signal. The Newcastle staff are well aware.
However he has the utmost respect for the Newcastle fans. I am told there is no chance he will force a move via the media or a transfer request. It’s down to City to find an agreement with Newcastle. No intention to match the release clause.
If we need to find an alternative then we will already have done it.We need to find alternatives - can’t see this happening
I like Bobb too much, very talented. I would not want to lose him, but given the fact that he may not play as much, I would loan him out to a Premier league club, that would give him significantly more minutes than he would get with us. I need him sharp and playing regularly. Game time is very important, it will make the player sharp and rust free or else he may end up being disgruntled and unsure!No to Bobb going on loan. give him real opportunity.
Sounds very logical tbh.I know I said I will no longer post with regards to transfers but I couldn’t help myself here.
The only way this happens is if we come to an agreement with Newcastle. Which is unlikely as Newcastle valued him at his buyout clause and that we wouldn’t match. Bruno will not force anything, his utmost respect for the Newcastle fans rule that out.
Will City waste time or have they already moved on…
Have a good day!
Sounds very logical tbh.
I doubt an agreement will be reached on this but who knows with FFP, that could force Newcastles hand a bit. Right now I'd say this transfer looks unlikely unless they'd want a Nunes or Philllips thrown in to sweeten a deal.
Totally agree. If we end up losing Bobb just to knock a bit off Bruno's price then I'll be gutted.
Nothing against him but I'd rather just not get Bruno. He's an improvement on some of what we have but not enough of one to justify losing a player like Oscar.
I love tolmie but hopefully this was just him speculating and not Citys mindset regarding Bruno G. Surely we are not daft enough to wait around and see if Bruno maybe pushes for a move or not (he won't), thinking Phillips or Bobb on loan would have any noticeable impact on Newcastles willingness to sell him or thinking the Saudis would think 85m is enough when they are no longer under immense PSR pressure.If it got us Bruno G and it was only a loan for Oscar then i`d do it but Oscar could certainly make it at City but the premier league wekk in week out experience would do him good imo.

Newcastle I'd expect wouldn't want a loan they'd want him permanently! With palmer going for 45m we would expect us to ask for at least 35m 40m
Whats our sales pitch?
OK Bruno, we want you to go from being idolised on the Tyne by the Geordie faithful as the next coming to sit on our bench and come on when Rodri gets tired.
You'll get to play all the Carabou Cup games and the FA Cup games up to the quarter final and the odd dead rubber in the Champs League.

no if we bought him he'd play as an 8.Whats our sales pitch?

I bet they would, but i'd be well pissed off if we let Bobb go.Newcastle I'd expect wouldn't want a loan they'd want him permanently! With palmer going for 45m we would expect us to ask for at least 35m 40m
He can play as an 8 as he does most of the timeWhats our sales pitch?
