Angelino

cjn said:
This is a shit deal. He was very good for Leipzig last season, so instead of collecting our 30m as originally agreed we're giving them a 10m discount and the deal isn't even guaranteed. If he gets hurt or they choose to bench him he comes right back to us next summer worth even less. Also he's a homegrown player and our current options are Ben Mendy and Zinchenko.

Whatever people think about the deal the club must be happy with it, maybe we have a sell on clause, maybe we have goodwill for a bid for Upmencano or what ever he is called? Maybe Pep just doesn't want him, Maybe we need the funds for another transfer.

Whatever the reasoning behind the deal it must be acceptable to us. I'm happy to see where we are at the end of the window before making a judgement,

I guess he was always going to be a guy that wouldn’t stay here long. When we bought him for the price we did, it was a clear case of spotting an opportunity for very easy profit towards FFP. He was rated at around 20-25m at the time being linked to PSG. So it was guaranteed profit.

Since that moment Angelino has had a very successful loan and made it into the Champions League Squad of the Season. His stock has risen. So to do a deal for 2m euros upfront and the possibility, but not guarantee, of receiving another 18m euros seems on the low side.

So that’s the issue. We should make a nice accounting profit on him, which was always the plan, but bearing in mind his rave reviews, it should have been a larger one. That’s why it’s a deal that’s being derided by many.

Maybe, but I would guess there is nobody putting in any bids to buy him now for more than 20 mill, or if there is he doesn’t want to go to whoever is bidding so if it’s an obligation to buy at that, there’s nothing to deride.

Maybe we needed him off the books and there was no one else in for him.

Not a lot City can do about that.

Agree there may be market factors that we can't judge here but, on the face of it, it looks like a poor bit of business.

Can live in hope that they're about to give us a belting deal on Upamecano but it seems unlikely.

Funny how putting in a stinker reduces valuation and performing excellently in Bundesliga and getting into the UCL team of the season increases valuation. Can't believe people change opinions based on reality. Magic innit?

That about sums it up.

He could return next year, 3rd time lucky?

He was crap for us, shit the bed with simple passes. He did provide a decent cross tho and worked hard. Good luck to him shame it did not work out.
 
I say again, all of Europe was aware he was up for sale and Leipzig were not prepared to pay the buy-out clause and yet there were no takers. Simple supply and demand.
I don't rate him, but I know sod-all. One has to assume that the buyers for the rest of the teams in Europe do know something.
