Tino Livramento

[Damanino]

if he signs a new contract then this is off not just now but long term, imo unless its with good clause built into it.

 

[Gumzy97]

Maybe Tino is 80 mil because there’s a lack of quality young english/homegrown right backs. Apart from Tino I can’t really name any

 

[TheBlueCat]

Few players I can think of are worth £80m. However, if that's the going rate for someone with Livramento's attributes, you pay up. Whether he's worth it or not is subjective.

We need a specialist right back. The fact he's a a young England international & can play left back too, also adds value. I seriously don't get City's miserly, penny pinching attitude at times.

£53m panic spent on Nunes, but we're baulking at £80m for the best young English right back around, who can serve us well for the next 10 years. Our approach to this makes zero sense. We just need to get it the fuck done imo...

I can understand your view mate.

I’m just not convinced it’s the right price, meaning we may be able to do better elsewhere. That’s for the recruitment team to sort out. I’m sure they know their business, or at least should do. That said, totally agree Nunes was a panic buy..

Maybe we just decided we are rebuilding the squad for the next 5 years or more not just next season and decided we are better waiting until we have the room for a better value non homegrown right back next summer. Taking a longer term view, with no stop gaps.
Besides I never saw the Newcastle would sell for £80 mill from anywhere but in here, maybe they just won’t sell,and he isn’t in any rush to move this summer.

 

[BringBackSwales]

For the PFA best RB in nthe elague twice and easily the best at the time we bought him

Livramento is not that

How does that make Livramento worth £80m? Thats just fucking weird. I appreciate a defender has to defend but I am sorry to repeat myself but for £80m you expect a few goal contributions - in the last 2 seasons in the league combined TL has the grand total of one goal and one assist. But despite that you think he’s worth 80 mil because we paid 100 mil for Jack? Jesus fucking Christ, and the school holidays have only just begun

Probably need a bit of a defensive rebuild but it's going to be next summer. Stones and Ake out of contract, Dias and Akanji a year older, and I guess we'll still be after a RB.

Stones is, think Ake's got another year

Just checked and you're right.

 

[Sheikh rattle and roll]

When did Isak sign?

Yawn yawn fancy a wager on it ?

 

[SiMCFC]

Everyone said Walker was massively overpriced at £50m... he was 27... look how well that worked out!

 

[TonyColemansbagofapples]

He is still a Newcastle player so I’d win the bet. Fact.

Its not the going rate for someone for someone with Livra's attributes . Its just what many think it would take to force Newcastle's hand.

Its like paying 75 million for Jadon Sancho. Sometimes teams overpay to force a move. Thays what some pf our fans want.

In my view, those fans lack patience, faith and a long term vision. So far, i am glad Viana has shown fantastic capacity for all 3.

Mate, Tino would work out at most £8m per season over the next decade. Walker worked out at £5m per season over 9 years. That's how we have to look at Livramento.

As he stands, he's better than all the RB alternatives we have. He ticks so many boxes, that we'd be nuts to pass up this opportunity only to have to rely on Nunes, Lewis, Akanji & permacrock Stones.

We need to stop fuckin about & plug the most glaring hole in our arsenal.

Walker had a superpower in his pace.

Livramento could well be the next Ben Chilwell.

He has the attacking stats of a Wan Bissaka.

He might be amazing. There is no guarantee that will be though.

We need a specialist right back. Someone who'll give the world's elite players something to think about. As things stand, that won't be Nunes.

Livramento would be a decade long investment. In the big scheme of things, £8m per season over the next 10 years is nothing in comparison to the positive advantages Tino would add to our squad.

City baulking at £80m for Livramento makes little to no sense to me. As someone remarked yesterday, what's the point of our January & summer acquisitions, only for us to stop at the final hurdle?

We need to stop the penny pinching & complete this phase of our squad rebuild, which should've started immediately after the treble. This level of petty messing around is what led us from having by far the strongest squad in world football 2 years ago, to winning fuck all last season & almost being relegated from the CL in the process.

If our squad wasn't such a mess last season, why did we buy so many players in the 2025 winter & summer windows? Get Livramento, dispense with the deadwood, & then we can concentrate on rebuilding our squad to dominate for the next decade. It's that simple...

Nothing is guaranteed in football or life in general, but I'd feel a shit load better & more settled in my mind if we completed this phase of our squad rebuild by buying a specialist right back to complement RAN on the left.

 

[BringBackSwales]

That’s logical. Kyle Walker was expensive and turned out well, so must Livramento. Let’s pay £100m for him and he’ll be even better

What is it about Livramento that you think makes him an £80m purchase?

What does he do that our “makeshift” right backs can’t?

Kyle Walker-Peters is a specialist right back. Is he better than what we already have?

Walker was demonstrably the best right back in the league whilst at Spurs and was worth every penny and more of what it took to get him.

This guy's pretty decent but not in Walker's class, why the fuck would we pay £80m for him. Pedro Porro's a better and cheaper alternative

He's not worth £80m, but he's by far the best available long-term option out there. So if it takes £80m to secure him for the next decade, then so be it.

I'm not focused on the price. I'm more focused on what he's worth to us in the short, medium & long-term. At £8m per season over 10 years, he's more than worth it IMHO...
