What do you base that on?

Alvarez and Ederson are both currently on £100k/wk. KDB our highest earner is on £400k/wk (other players as attached image)

It depends what is in the deal? I would expect most of it is very unlikely? AM will want to keep the extras down, details like this rarely get revealed. I don't like add ons ;-)

According to transfermarkt his current value is €90m ie £77.2m That "€81m" is with the add ons that may never come Balon d'Or, CL etc? Up front fee is apparently €75m ie £64.3m Personally I would have wanted absolute min £70m up front or no deal! (and dispensed with add ons which may never...

Probably my last post on this because it's getting tedious! ;-) It obviously wasn't a conspiracy to unsettle Ederson. The 2 Saudi clubs wanted a keeper and Ederson was interested at the mega bucks wages quoted. Clubs less friendly, (political rivals and others), will generally offer less...

He was linked with Athletico Bilbao, not the top tier but decent club in Spain. I imagine meeting wages could be an issue? He seems to have an introvert personality? I wish him well.

Didn't seem to effect him in the Euros? He had an outstanding tournament. (You could say the same about many players eg Haaland?)

The values are not mine but from transfermarkt mate! ;-) You can't deny Phillip's value has fallen off a cliff since we bought him, and the opposite with Palmer since we sold him. Transfermarkt reckon Palmer is the the 26th most valuable player in the world!

We struggle to do 'good business' with many clubs. However certain clubs like PSG, Newcastle and Saudi clubs have an extra rivalry with our club because of the middle Eastern politics. The Saudi clubs were happy to take Ederson for mega buck wages but they won't be offering mega buck transfer...

Laporte's knee is not broken he's not missed a game from injury since he had knee surgery at the beginning of the 22/23 season. He played every minute for Spain in their summer Euros win, post pool matches. He was in Goal's team of the tournament. I wouldn't be surprised if he got a summer...

Just because we previously sold 2 players to the Saudi's, doesn't mean it was 'good business', we only got 35m euros for Mahrez and 27.5m for Laporte. IMO Meh... Just like PSG we wont get favours from Saudi's, despite the middle eastern connection. We paid Leeds 49m euros for Phillips and...

Abu Dhabi are political rivals to Saudi Arabia, Newcastle (Saudi owned) are PL rivals to City.

They win by unsettling a rival player and this maybe effecting our camp? Ederson and his family were anticipating a life changing mega-payday. (I have been told both Saudi clubs have now bought alternative goalkeepers).

Used a hdmi from the laptop to the TV, a bit of a dated setup but not too bad, had to refresh in second half when picture was briefly lost.

The Saudi's don't want to help a rival club/country by paying a fee City would find acceptable. They have unsettled Ederson by offering crazy wages and he will now feel frustrated. Win/win for them! We won't get any help from the Saudi's.

A number of their players particularly the younger ones wont have taken any penalties in public before. For the likely direction for every squad player as pictured on Pickford's water bottle, there's definitely been some espionage going on. The Canada coach in trouble for the drone spying is...

He clearly gets a huge buzz from success and incredibly frustrated when things dont go well. If he believes we can go on being successful given potential obstacles, (like PL funding changes, missed player aquisitions, PL charges etc), hopefully he will extend his contract.

Very likely England did some secret spying to know the penalties direction of every Switzerland penalty taker in the Euros. Whether that was a drone, hidden camera in the training facility or person spying at their training session remains unknown at this stage? YOu don't get to know such...

I agree with the sentiment behind your post, we need to project a positive image of the club. I haven't seen the game yet, what were the main issues you had?

Yeah Dovbyk was their top scorer last season, losing him and Savio will be difficult with extra CL games
