I think they’ve shafted themselves.They won’t have a penny left after being rinsed for Wirtz and his salary
I’m still surprised they are gambling that amount of money unless someone of value moves on. I thought Diaz was going to fund part of it but that’s fell through.
100%He’s liking posts from his mates with our name in. He said ‘everyone knows where I’m going’ and that it’ll get done after Frances game Sunday. Khaldoon said we’re aiming to get the bulk of our business done pre CWC, and there’s been no news at all to suggest the deal being hijacked last minute.
Yet here I am still on edge that we’ll bottle it somehow haha. The city fan in me I guess. Realistically though this gets done by Tuesday, and without getting too giddy this could very well be our best signing in a long while
DJ Snake is Cherki's mate
From the way things are unfolding, it really seems like Cherki is a young man of his word. He appears genuinely committed to joining us, and that kind of loyalty is rare—especially in today’s transfer market. PSG and several other clubs have reportedly tried to sway him with offers, but he’s remained firm in his stance.He’s liking posts from his mates with our name in.

That level of conviction, especially at his age, speaks volumes about his character and ambition. I already liked him as a player, but this makes me respect him even more.
I'll agree with all of this..... after he's signed the bloody paperI honestly think this deal has been in the pipeline for a good while. There’s no way the club would just let KDB go without having a credible, world class player/prospect lined up in advance.
I was mad confused when it was reported we’d pulled out of the Wirtz deal a few weeks back for that reason. Like how can you just let a club legend, arguably our best ever leave when by the sounds of it he wanted to stay?
This deal has probably been the one all along. Although I wanted Wirtz at the time, I always thought it was unlike us to be entering a 100m plus bidding war for such a crucial signing.
City are the masters of quiet negotiations going off recent history and I suspect Cherki has been the one they had eyes for since the beginning
What’d he do on his debut?The fact that he has mentioned our name to his mate suggests it is done, to me.
I suspect he's just complimenting his mate on an amazing debut.

Know how you feel. Like I say all signs point to all 3 happening but until it’s official I’ll still be on edge. We’ve seen too many deals fall through when they looked nailed on to be comfortable.Well I sort of know what you mean. Kane, we were told for weeks, was on. Until it wasn't on. Until there's a name above that dotted line, and Txiki's — although I suppose it'll be Viana's — smiling face next to him at the table, and the arm round the shoulder, I won't really breath easy.
Same goes for the other two — who are just as important, in my view.
Some of us are grateful for that.Spurs never wanted to sell to us which makes the Kane thing slightly different.
Hear hearSome of us are grateful for that.
Interestingly, and you’re bang on the money, this has been the same trick up the sleeve for nigh on 10 years yet the rest of the jacket is constantly ignored, the fact it works on our competitors, still, brings joy to the illusion (:I honestly think this deal has been in the pipeline for a good while.
