Benjamin Mendy

Didn't txiki only get the job because he knew pep?

There must be someone else who can do a better job.

Yep, just because he knew Pep. Nothing whatsoever to do with the job he did at Barca.

So we played hard bargain and tried to get him few millions cheaper. Now forced to pay 10m more? :D Next time how about trigger the right price immedeately and stop fooling around.

I mentioned Txiki in a negative light on here a couple days ago and called an idiot. In early June, right after Bernardo joined, (before Chelsea bid 63m for Sandro and before we paid 50m for Walker) all the talk around Mendy was that 40m pounds would do it. In late June early July, it went up to 45m... Now it's 50m... Yay Txiki!

*All values in pounds

So because people quote £40m but Monaco don't u think that's what txiki should pay maybe people should decide what we pay for all our transfers instead of selling clubs

Txiki just pay it and be done with it. You're not going to have any bargaining advantage after paying the Walker fee. Could've gotten him cheaper with buying him and Bernardo at the same time.

The way I see it watching Bernardo I think we've saved £15-20 mill (yes, he's that good) maybe Monaco trying to claw some of that back after looking at the market since Bernardo signed for us

Pep bought Danilo because he can play in 3 positions ( RB, LB & DM)

This is the reason why people here were worried about the price we paid for Walker. It affects the future deals and Monaco saw that.

True of course but someone saying "it's not your money" on BM apparently trumps logic ;-)

All the experts in here lmfao.

 

[philjoneswho?]

This morning it was "SAF" in one thread, now it's "CR7" in this. This is not acceptable nomenclature for city fans to use.

Next it'll be LS19!

 

[BlueMoonz1977]

Rejected bid of £44.5m, Monaco saying they want the deal for Walker's transfer matched - this will get done imo

Where does this end? 50 million 60 million 70 million?

Do we have to break a record every time?

I'm not sure Mendy is in the top ten wing backs in the World and there is possibly another club somewhere in the World that would love 45 million for their left back and would fit our system.

I'm wondering if Bayern RM or Barca would pay that for him (even if they wanted him)

Controversial perhaps but if Tixi does our negotiating, and I don't know he does, should an ex footballer be in that role or a businessman?

Frankly who gives a fcuck not our money and he will be wearing a city shirt when season starts.
