Angelino

[WallyA]

I would not get too carried away with this story, the club that got turned away was PSG apparently they have Kurzawa and Burnat already but if this story was accurate i would expect Angelino to break it to us first, or have i missed something?

You would expect the player to personally tell city fans he is coming first, before the club tells us? Does that ever happen?

I think the PSG link is that they are interested in him but we want him back regardless of their interest.

Really excited at the prospect of this. Can't say I watch PSV regularly, but there have been some posters on here who know far better than I that have been talking him up all year.

Would also be great to have him back from an optics perspective. Angelino (loan, sold, buy-back) and Foden (academy graduate right into the team) playing meaningful minutes next year would really validate the academy and prove to other youth players that there are valid paths to the first team.

They way i read it was PSG put in a bid and was told of City`s option and city reacted, quite frankly that sounds unlikely to me, And City never talk of a transfer till it is done so i would expect Angelino to drop the penny over a move, not necessarily to us but out in the open from him.

I am pretty sure City spend the whole year (if not many months in advance) regarding their transfer strategy and had weighed up Angelino a while back, I don't see the club as being reactionary like this as you agree with.

I am not familiar with what you are saying in your last sentence by "expect Angelino to drop the penny over a move, not necessarily to use but out in the open from him" (Sorry not british, I am slowly grasping some phrases lol)

My point is City would have had to inform Angelino, he spent many years here and it would be a big step up in every way for him, so i would expect the first news to come from sources close to him and later to be confirmed by him

The only reason they might is if they knew a £25m bid was in and realised they could make a quick profit by selling him on. But hopefully we're considering bringing him back for the squad.

I'm sure we've recently exercised a buy back clause, just to sell the player on for a bigger fee. Can't quite recall who the player was, but, doing this again with Angelino is feasible.

Personally I hope he stays as it would send out a strong message to other academy graduates, just like Foden & Zinchenko have.

Zinchenko was reportedly valued at 16 million last season, and I suspect he’d now command double that figure. A year playing regularly in this team and Angelino could well be worth as much as we paid for Mendy.

Unless he turns down our contract.....

Not sure if he can do that otherwise what would the point be of putting the clause in the contract?

 

[Mike D]

Could be wrong but I just see it as easy money. We know PSG are will to pay €25m and we know we can buy him for €12m. We are basically trading players like shares. Buy low, sell high.

I’d love to see us actually use him and let him have a shot here though.

With the Cancelo links too it feels like we are planning to play 3 at the back with wing backs quite a lot. I feel like Sané could be sold and not directly replaced. The formation will change instead.

But we are not paying !2mill we are effectively paying 6mil because we sold him for 6mil last season. So we give them their money back plus 6mil its a total no brainer. We need cover with the on going problems with Mendy and Danilo wanting to leave it makes perfect sense. What's the worse that could happen it doesn't work out and he goes out on loan again in January and we sell him again for a tidy profit. Then again he could end up being our new left back and from the benefit of youtube he does now look the part.

Of course he can, we are not talking about slave labour contracts where he has no choice.

The point of the clause is that we can buy him back at a much cheaper price than he would go for if he was on the market. He still has to want to come back. My point is irrelevant anyway as it seems like he does want to.

I think the player signs something too agreeing to the buy back clause at the time the transfer is made.

 

[doobyedoobye]

Is he home grown?

 

[mosssideblue]

Not sure he is City Quality tbh

Based on what exactly?

 

[Rammyblues]

Is he home grown?

I would say yes, seems he has been at our club longer than 3 year before turning 21. If so he is the same as Foden and would help boost the squad.

No, they don't. Usually they agree to come back, only to be sold again, as they are given a nice big signing on fee to compensate them for agreeing to do it.

 

[Utrecht]

In possesion he will be the best of the Premier League in his position. 10/15 assists.

I cant see that,he done he apprenticeship,by abiding where the club loaned him,never complained,Then he,s played regular footy,
And now time to bring him home.Good player,speedy/can put in a cross..

I think the player signs something too agreeing to the buy back clause at the time the transfer is made.

All football transfers from a legal perspective are two agreements (and a termination of one prior agreement) that are interlinked. They are the agreement between the clubs on the fee and other terms and the agreement between the new club and player on Employment issues (the old employment contract is also agreed to be terminated).

In a buy back deal - if it is properly documented the first element is between the clubs is agreed and documented but the employment issues are not so any such deal would need the consent of the player and their agreement to new terms.

I don't see any issues stopping this if all parties are on board. His wages wont be too difficult to agree.

 

[Jumanji]

He's very pacy (albeit not Walker speed), always been an impeccable crosser, stocky, aggressive, and he's got a dribble and a touch.

For the price, it makes too much sense to keep him at least for a season.
