No actually I've taken work for less money because the job suited me better at that time, It ticked all the boxes even though I could have earned 20k more elsewhere, obviously he's not going to want a pay cut, but he said he wants more minutes on the pitch, he needs that time he said he wanted to think about whats more Important.
 
Alvarez and Ederson are both currently on £100k/wk.

But Silva is both our best right winger and best Rodri partner and foden has established himself as a 10. You're taking key players from their best positions to do a job that's not going to get the best from them. That's something you resort to in a crisis, that should not be the plan for the entire season if one single player is unavailable.

I tend to agree but it wont be the kids taking that role. was more my point. Nor are we signing another pure 9 imo
 
Just the merry dance of negotiations - from all accounts now only a bit apart, it will get done.

It's starting to smell, He only had an improved contract early this year and now we are hearing stories about PSG offering £10million net, I don't see Atletico reaching their levels, I don't think City will offer him another deal to stay

It is pure greed if true and the agent is rubbing his hands, Alvarez didn't look like it was about money, him and his family were welcomed with open hands, Somebody said he's played 109 games but 40 of them from the bench ? That's not bad in my book,

At City nobody ever questioned his goals rate or his role in the squad, He was playing no pressure-free football at City Pep was happy with him fans liked him it was the easy life.

Do you think McAtee is capable of playing at this level?

Personally I think the jury is out on McAtee, I'd love to see him succeed at City, I'm sure there's only one way of finding out if he's capable and that's by giving him game time.

It's very hard to judge the lad having loan spells at Sheffield United a team who was very anti football.

I think it will be interesting to see, especially if he gets minutes when we are playing a really strong team rather than a ‘reserve’ side in the carabao cup. Think his technique will stand up but there’s a great opportunity in front of him this season if he’s up to seizing it.
