I agree, wouldnt be the first time mate. I got to be honest, dont have much confidence in him after the results of the past few transfer windows(other than Kev!) and for allowing us to get old and slow at a number of positions...just want him to prove me wrong!! So far we pulled out of the race for Pogba after 2 summers of chasing, missed on Laporte after 2 summers of chasing......sorry got to type this to get it out of my system!;)
Fixed for ye' !He wasn't prepared to submit a demand to leave ind invoke his buyout clause.
Fair play to him to have loyalty to the club (not that his club will have loyalty to him beyond the end of his new contract).
It could still happen as Fernando caved in before he came to us in the following summer, but in reality €70 MILLION is far too much money for us to come back with an offer.
That said in many respects this is good news as it gives Jason Denayer a chance of making it at City - a player who I really think is class.
Exactly. Nothing Txiki or anyone else could do about this one!If the player wants to stay where he is how do you come to that conclusion? Put your toys back in
Couldn't give a hoot. Lots of good players around and we will just move on to the next one. Vertonghen and Alderweild cost Tottenham about £20mil. Otamendi and Mangala cost nearer to £65mil. Relax ...... we'll have other good players on the list.
Not sure how people are blaming Txiki here. The lad is turning down a chance to play at the highest level under Pep freaking Guardiola for considerably more money. He clearly wants to stay at Bilbao and that's not Txiki's fault at all.
It's gut wrenching and all too embarrassing, but City needs to move on.
Exactly. Nothing Txiki or anyone else could do about this one!
Cheers - I did notice it myself - but clearly not quickly enough.Fixed for ye' !
