Benjamin Mendy

What I can't understand is why we released the players we did at left back until we had new players signed. We look so exposed within negotiations for these players now.

That one has been done to death mate

Out of contracts that's why

Genuinely couldn't care less

I hope they only want £45mil.

Makes it hilarious then if we have only bid £44.5mil and the flappers can go into overdrive

Some sources say Monaco want £55m -this will rumble on to will either cough up or the likes of Chelsea, PSG hijack the deal.

Just maybe we are prepared to pay £55m, but you dont offer that up front.

FFS we will have defenders in place - we don't kick off tomorrow - chill

No. We wanted Mendy, we must get Mendy. See PSG or RM and how they get what they want no matter howmuch he costs. That's how you signal your ambition to players home and abroad and become a winner. Not by haggling over a few quids for 3 months. We've been in for Mendy since May, we're at the end of July.

Kolarov might leave in a few days. We're one of the richest clubs in the world who lay claim to PL and CL trophies, and who's gonna be our LB, Fernandinho?

So this is gonna be yet another case where we try and negotiate and then in the end just pay them what they originally asked for wasting months in the process.

We couldn't stop them leaving if contracts expired. Zab could have been offered another year but I'm guessing Pep spoke to Alves a few months ago and was banking on that deal.

I'm confident that Txiki et all will bring home the bacon. The richest club in the world tag is just that, we have to operate in a financial landscape that the club can afford, not loose change from our owner
