I'd expect us to submit a bid if we were interested in the player in a deal that would be a record for City and possibly a record British deal. Deals like that take ages to conclude.
Domalino be patient with me so I understand this.Yes, it is. United's revenue has/is forecast to increase £40m this year. So that can all go to wages.
It's okay, we let you do it to Patrick Roberts for over a year ;)
Pep made sure Maguire knew how highly he rated him on the actual pitch at the final whistle.
LmaoThat sounds like tapping up, discreet or otherwise.
Agree with England, I'm not sure why he's looked so uncomfortable when he's more often than not incredibly comfortable on the ball for us. To be fair a lot of games he's been used out of position in the three and he's ended up being isolated. Which isn't good for someone of his size. But, he's only just turned 26 so he's still young for a CB and I'm sure he'll settle down.I’ve got to admit when I’ve seen him (for the full 90 minutes) it’s usually been for England and I’ve never been impressed especially with his short passing game, he seems to get the ball stuck between his feet on occasion and looks very nervous in possession. That said his long passing seems to be brilliant and 9/10 hits the right man.
Glad you’re more optimistic than I am if he does eventually sign or us, I guess like yourself I just think we could use the money far more wisely but who am I to judge. Thanks for your thoughts though, it’ll be interesting to see how it all materialises.

We have established that there is a wages cap. £7m.
We have established that there is get out: Revenue uplift.
So what period is relevant re the uplift?
I had assumed that if you buy players in the current season, you have to show the Premier League board that any excess over the cap is justified by revenue increases in this season over the previous season. If that is the case then I thought there would be no uplift as Utd are out of the Champions League which has a huge impact on revenues.
I’m glad as a Leicester fan who I presume watches him far more often than we do that you said that. Anyone who dares to question his mobility and comfort on the ball on this forum is automatically told they’re talking bollocks, have fuck all understanding of the game and that Pep think they’re a ćunt. Although with me they’re probably right with the last bit.Agree with England, I'm not sure why he's looked so uncomfortable when he's more often than not incredibly comfortable on the ball for us.
