TS reporting that we are the only club to open discussions with Bournemouth.
Now the ffp regulations are getting changed for the rags to revenue based psr does it make any difference if we pay it up front or over 5 yearsI think the buyout clause has £60m up front and £5m in installments if reports are to be correct.
I suppose we'll be looking to pay the £65m over the course of two or three years.
You could well be correct though with Ake in particular as Gaughan has mentioned previously that Ake is open to a move back to Bournemouth and it's a position Bournemouth have lost their best players in the summer.
Bournemouth buy unproven players all the time.They might not want a 30 yr injury prone defender, or an unproven squad player.
They seem quite good at identifying players themselves.
I would hate City to catch a thrown bone.
Isnt Paqueta more of an attacking midfielderI could imagine maybe Paqueta in January mate yeah then Kovacic and Bernardo going the summer and Anderson in

last day of windowIf we getting him what date do you reckon he will sign 6th?
Pretty scary for Rodri too!View attachment 178681Scary as fuck for opposition!
I don't, and none of us do.If a player comes along who has a release clause and whose signing would significantly improve your squad, you make it.
How do you know that Rodri will not recover? We did well to bring in Gonzalez but what outstanding midfielder would join City now knowing that they are competing with Rodri and that also assumes such a player is available.

only when they are nice to us - so very seldom :-)
Ake has always been loved by the Bournemouth fans & seeing as they're in a bit of a freefall especially defensively, it would make sense. If its not a loan then his wages might be a stumbling blockBournemouth buy unproven players all the time.
Who?Semeydo wont be coming here to be a "bit part" player ffs?!
Love that gif. Very underrated film.

Can understand why. I’ve always loved having him in our squad. Good player. Good attitude. Will be missed if he goesAke has always been loved by the Bournemouth fans & seeing as they're in a bit of a freefall especially defensively, it would make sense.

Truth!!Need to get this done as soon as possible. If Liverpool are sniffing we've no chance. He'll go to the bigger club with a proven European pedigree - we aren't European Royalty, they are. Also, as we saw with Isak and Wirtz, there is a proven record of the top, top, top players going to Liverpool, old money, as opposed to us, new money. Also their money is earned through decade upon decade of onfield success, ours is from an oil rich state.....
The Jamie Lee Curtis one is better. But if I posted it, I'd probably have to ban myself!Love that gif. Very underrated film.
I don't, and none of us do.
We hope he will and we are clearly being very careful with him. We also recognise that he is 30, and though he is a player whose brain is his biggest asset, physical presence in midfield is a real boost.
I don't know if Semenyo significantly improves our squad. I rate him at Bournemouth, as everyone does, but we play differently and face different challenges. We simply have to place our faith in those making the decisions.
