Alvarez done deal - £82m to Atletico

[Skrastins]

Genuine question - do you mean no space in terms of foreign spots or just minutes to go around? Off the top of my head I think we only have 14 foreign players (Ake and Bobb are HG I think, assuming Cancelo won't be registered) so potentially a few spots? We might not have any for the CL though now that I think about it

1. Ederson
2. Ortega
3. Akanji
4. Dias
5. Gvardiol
6. Rodri
7. Kovacic
8. Nunes
9. Doku
10. De Bruyne
11. Bernardo
12. Savio
13. Haaland
14. Alvarez

Any space. As any part of the squad. Currently no space for any new players, foreign or otherwise.

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

Not enough. I trust Ornstein a lot more than Romano, so I believe it'll be £70m minimum.

 

[JWCH-99]

£65m- I’d push for 70m and I’d be happy

 

[Cozmo Bozo]

Any space. As any part of the squad. Currently no space for any new players, foreign or otherwise.

Worst case, the likes of Kabore, Phillips, Cancelo and Perrone go out on loan again. Plenty of squad space left in reality.

 

[Haaland94]

+ Felix on loan then? This doesn't sound right otherwise. It was supposed to be 70m quid minimum.

 

[TinFoilHat]

We must keep the Anti Kane at all costs.

 

[St.Pauli support]

Question: is this Felix deal still on or is it a cash only deal for Julian? Or are we looking at Felix regardless, and it's just a separate topic, a loan with an option to buy?

Could well be possible that they have a full squad now after adding Sorloth and Gallagher and would therefore need to loan out Felix to have a space for Julian.
Vive versa for us.

€75m !? Reports earlier was 5 payments of £14 which would be £70m €75m=£64m Needs to be €85m

Kabore and Perrone were never really in the squad to begin with. Agree with kalvin and cancelo. Eventually.

What I don't get is only a couple of days ago Pep said he's still a City and nothing has been said and hope to speak to him this week, This move is happening fast by the looks of it, City wanted a price and then they came back and agreed on an offer. It sounds pretty much all Alvarez pushing for the move and Pep ok the move.

City can not play or gamble on a full season with just Haaland, City must have irons in the fire and choices that money is available for a Big-name signing

Do you think the writing was on the wall when Pep was first asked about Alvarez comments?

Pep was well pissed off you could tell by the tone of his voice and his attitude.

We definitely need a replacement.

We have done really well in the past 4 or 5 seasons with selling players on and getting good money and the trophies keep rolling in.

What about Isak at Newcastle?

The Saudis and Newcastle are skint and are desperate for money.

Offer them £100mill.
