Sources at the City end claiming they would only have to pay €6m to trigger Angelino's buy-back

If we sell Delph for a similar fee, we'll basically have just signed one of the most promising left-backs in Europe for nothing.

That sounds VERY cheap, considering we sold him for 5. He would be a bargain whether it`s €6m or €12m, I hope so badly we want to keep him and play him

Maybe the haven't paid us the full amount for him yet?

Could be. Or we sold him so cheap because we wanted a low buy-back clause. If we sign him this summer, it has basically been a one-year-loan, but they got 1m for it, which probably covered his wages

The thing is, we sold him for €5m. There's no way anyone is going to invest all that time and wages in a player for €1m. His wages would have been more than that.

Luuk De Jong, one of their better players and also a quite old one, earned 2.55m a year a couple years back, so I don`t think Angelino` s wages would have been much more than 1m (if it even exceeded that amount). You could look at it this way: they`ve had one of the best young attacking LBs in the world for one season almost for free, assisting 12 goals and being a very important player in the title race. Most of us were surprised when we sold him for 5m, but it makes a lot of sense if we could get him back for 6m or 12m

You speak as if his production on the pitch for PSV had no value.

 

[Rammy Blue]

PSV must be spewing, lol.

 

[KCblue]

€6m if true has to be a no brainer.

The smaller figure has to be net to PSV. PSV were probably paying us their fee over two or three years and the €6m being reported is what we owe them after canceling future payments.

That's great if we've got a clause in. Don't want to move Zinchenko from pillar to post, but whilst he's played very well and really grown, I think he's a more natural CM in the Gundogan role. If we have Mendy, Angelino & Zinchenko (and even Laporte) who can play LB, Walker & Cancelo/AWB (assuming Danilo leaves), that's a great mix of fullback options. Cheap too.

 

[blue b4 the moon]

Brilliant, really rated him originally and for 'pennies' as well.

 

[Bpughh]

would be so excited if this comes off and he stays

 

[Franknorgrovesnephew]

if comes off a big well done to pep

 

[Thaksinssoldier]

I'm a little confused.

When you re-sign academy players aren't they like 92 mil and a further 24 mil in agent fees?

 

[01cravend]

Makes sense even if it was to sell him on again. Easy profit to be made

Only in eddywoody world.

 

[FantasyIreland]

Hopefully he is happy to return,the fact he will be aware much of his time will be spent on the bench may be a spanner in the works.

First team football elsewhere may well be the more attractive proposition.

 

[Mancini Manus Domini]

I wonder if we have looked at this as an alternative to Maguire. By that I mean purely as a home grown alternative. If we bring in Angelino will it now mean we go for a foreign centre back? Or will Fernandinho move to centre half if Zinchenko provides cover for a new defensive midfielder?

 

[pudge]

It would be nice to have an actual left back at the club to be fair, been a while.

It's over rated, teams with left backs don't seem to win much.
