Alexis Mac Allister

Yes,i think similar,but i was asking a Brighton fan as i suspect he has a better insight than you and me.

Of course, the Brighton fan definitely would.

Having an Argentinian background I've also kept a close eye on him and as you probably agree, the guy is all class.

Seems like a top guy too.

Doubt we'll be able to prize him away though.

Money always talks.....but its dependant on who leaves in the summer and what qualities we feel we require to replace.

 

[richards30]

Argentinian media claiming pep has spoken to him about joining us?

 

[better dead than red]

Gus, I know you are secretly watching. What are they saying in South America about him coming to City, maybe?

Shows how different it is these days, Ferguson ever have any issue prising away players from midtable teams

No thanks, he isn’t any better than Alvarez or Foden who struggle to get enough game time.

Bloom is as greedy as a field of pigs and would want far, far too much especially if we’re interested, I’ve seen figures of £75m + which is comical.

I’d much rather see the money spent elsewhere ideally at the other end of the pitch.

any reason you've picked 2 players not in his position for this?

He plays in the middle, what other end?

Won’t play in his Brighton position here will he, so he’ll more than likely be deployed to play wide on the right of a front three as we don’t play a ‘10’ per se.

All that aside he isn’t good enough to play centrally in our team and the money is too much.

We literally play with atleast one if not two 10s, what are you talking about.

If he came here you think Pep would stick him on the wing? No chance.

We don’t have a single ‘10’ hence the quotation marks is what I meant, hard to get across in text. We of course have two central midfielders and I don’t think he has the skillset to do an out and out central role in our team (that’s just my opinion from what I’ve seen)

Also with respect he’s changed plenty of players positions over the years especially when it comes to midfielders/wingers so it’s not exactly an out there theory either.

All that aside I’d rather spent £75m elsewhere and also not give it to Brighton and Bloom if at all possible, plus the fact I don’t think we’ll go for him regardless, if we do I’ll support the lad 110% as I do any City player but for me personally not a player that excites me in our starting 11.

Opinions are like arseholes as they say.

I don't really care who we give the money to, is Brighton worse than any other club?

Perhaps they were a bit difficult to deal with in regards to Cucurella, but I'm kinda glad that worked out now.

Either way, considering the prices quoted for other players, I'd say 60-70m for Mac Allister and we should snap that it up, as we seem destined to lose Gundogan and Bernie and he can definitely come in for one of those spots.

But opinions as you said.

Why not Bloom, in particular? Is there a reason you think he's "greedy?"

He can play as a 6 or a 10, which makes him pretty much perfect for our #8 position.

Yes looking at the Ben White and Cucurella deals, plus the Caicedo situation whereby he started dutch auctions and fucked teams about, seems as though he can’t take the fact players want to leave and go elsewhere, appreciate he wants the best deal for their players but it left a sour taste with Cucurella and in general just seems a bitter way to do business, making transfers difficult, players wanted transfers to ‘bigger clubs’ let it happen.

So if you’re quote marking based on what I’m presuming you are, then you’re plain wrong and out of order.

I'm not out of order. I asked you a question. You are the one assuming things.

You chose the word greedy. I quoted it as it was something you wrote. If you're stinging about a question about something you said because you now realise It is an anti-semitic trope i can't help that. I was wondering why you decided to name Brighton's owner in your post, and not just the club itself. You answered it.

No need to act the hard man. A simple explanation would have been fine with me.

 

[TheBlueCat]

Can’t say I know much about him tbh. Looked ok in the World Cup but that is not always a good barometer. Haven’t noticed him in the premier league, though I have never purposely watched him. Brighton seem to hugely overvalue players but why not if some idiot will pay? Chelsea paid at least double what Cucurella was worth and must regret it now. That experience may put off clubs dealing with Brighton and who could blame them.

Where have I acted the hardman? I’ve simply provided rationale. The chairman involved in the deals of late that has been named specifically by Sky etc. is Tony Bloom so I named him as somebody who has been difficult to do business with, ‘greedy’ as a terminology that he’s asking far too much for players and Macallister isn’t somebody worth the money quoted (£75-£80m) off the back of the Cucurella fiasco where many City fans had plenty to say about him, people quote Tixi when talking about City deals as an example.

I wrote lots of things on the subject mate but you replied simply by cherry picking ‘greedy’ and angled it exactly towards anti semitism
About 4 posts on it and your take from it is..

Why not Bloom, in particular? Is there a reason you think he's "greedy

I’ve explained why I used the term and provided a rationale twice on the subject, but coming at me calling me a hardman etc. you’re clearly the one with an issue, I’m happy to debate opinion on the forum as I have on this topic, but I won’t argue with fellow blues or anybody on the internet it’s a pointless venture.

Ok. Let me put it this way, if you were having a conversation or reading a forum and someone wrote "I'd never want to buy a player from City and Mansour," you wouldn't ask them why they included the owner of the club also?

As for the quote, you called him greedy. I asked why. If I recall, you had an earlier post saying you used quotation marks because you were quoting another post.

You, yes you, took a simple question and turned it into more than that. Telling me I was out of order for asking it and insinuating anything was where you took the wrong turn. Maybe me calling you a hard man was a bit much, you are right. How about, you didn't have to act like a dick?

Please read this in a calm rational tone as that is how it was written. :)
