I’d think Monday, maybe Tuesday. Would need a reported agreement this weekend for him to be with the rest of the team for the first day training once back

I’m dumbfounded they thought they could negotiate the fee. 4 years left on his contract

Has better on ball ability and passing than Ake, Dias, Akanji for starters. Because of that, he's likely able to invert like Stones does. I'm pretty sure they aren't dropping a world record fee on someone who's sitting on the bench like Laporte was last season.

With 30m in add-ons for Bellingham, which are probably quite attainable.

Trophies will always be seen as unlikely, by ”reasonable“ they probably mean things that are effectively guaranteed, such as appearances.

So Tolmie said he expects Josko to be in Manchester when the team returns. Presumably they return Monday? Journalists brief agreement of fee tomorrow, fly out Saturday, medical and media Sunday/Monday, training with rest of the team on Tuesday?

Should renegotiate personal terms and get an extra year in the contract, don't worry it'll just take another couple of weeks to sort that out.

I would be fairly uncomfortable without a signing a winger to replace Mahrez, especially if Phil is playing centrally.

Going to lose my mind if people keep saying it’s £100m

100m euros, not pounds, pretty big difference

New video today from Romano, says deal is "still absolutely on".

Anything tied to winning trophies is "unrealistic" because, despite being favorites, it's not a huge probability. Something related to appearances/starts/minutes would be realistic. When they say unrealistic here, it's more of a "that's not almost guaranteed to happen" vs something like 60...

I’m losing confidence in this transfer happening. At this point he’ll miss all of preseason, so doesn’t seem like City are too eager to get it done. Reports outside of bluemoon continue to cite City not willing to meet the asking price.

What about the Stones role and coming into midfield, because I think that could be a factor here too, which very few "center backs" can do. It also seems you're mixing euros and pounds, it's not 100m pounds, it's ~85m (100m euros). While I don't disagree on the "fair value" the factors driving...

The price goes up next summer, not down, Liverpool won't get near it.

If this is to be believed, there's been no contact for nearly a week?

They know the true price by now, it’s the same price as has been publicly stated. 4 years left on his contract, higher release clause next season, already made loads of money this summer, Leipzig aren’t compromising. I still think the deal will get done, but it will be 100m euros as RB Leipzig...

No impact lol cmon. You think City are weighing up a world record bid for a player who would have no impact?

And likely 4 of those will be on the field at the same time. 6 for 4 spots makes sense. I think this "centre half" notion doesn't really fit either, Stones is effectively a holding midfielder (something I suspect they will try with Gvardiol as well), Ake is a LB, Akanji is a psuedo right back...

Interesting…
