This is the one real worry. Seems everything is against us in terms of getting a good deal. People know we've got cash after making a profit, they know we're desperate, they know we're in a rush and most clubs don't want to sell in Jan.Reminds me of when Liverpool signed Robertson.
A good player who is experienced in the league and moving to a bigger club where surrounded by better players and a system that (should) allow them to play much more possession based attacking football.
No brainier for me as long as it’s not stupid money. Because like the old City tax we are desperately needing players and wouldn’t surprise me if we get ripped off on the odd transfer now.

I think we just have to accept it this time round. It hasn’t happened in a while.This is the one real worry. Seems everything is against us in terms of getting a good deal.

Well it would seem Pep agrees with his recent quotes on the squad size and amount of games. We really have bled all we can from this squad. There's lads who have played a ridiculous amount of games over the last few years.You get about £1.4m more for winning a CL game in the league phase than a Europa League game in the league phase. So we could pay £10m more than we wanted to, but fuck it, if it gets us in the CL we'll get that back pretty quickly in prize money.
There's a lot of money at risk. There's rumoured to be a 100m dollars for winning the CWC with additional prize money for winning individual games.
This summer is not going to give much time to prepare players or get them up to speed to attack next season so we've got to go for it.

We have the pull power that means most players will try and get a move to City when we are at the table so it works in our favour more than not I’d say.
Don't need him in January and we shouldn't completely write of Gvardiol either.
Don't think he's available in January, Fulham are chasing a European spot they'd never let him go mid season100% take him in January
