Benjamin Mendy

[twosips]

Such a relief that this is happening. I don't think it's ever been in doubt tbh. Heard nothing but positivity about how much he wanted to sign for City. Delighted.

Centre back for me, before the bonus kicks in.

I agree, a centre back is much needed. Pep wants another world class striker too so if both are secured I say we are on for a very special 17/18 campaign

Sly sports at it again......

So perisic has been on the top transfer whispers to the rags all summer..... we agree a fee for Mendy but we are pretty much bottom of that shit list they put together, even though we are more advanced then them.




Say whhhhaaaaa

If Bielsa said this boy will be a star, and Pep is willing to chase for so long and break the bank, then that is enough for me.

Cannot wait to see him in a blue shirt.

Same age Zabaleta was when he joined... and is wearing a Bee bagpack... Just a thought. Here's hoping he could be the one to connect with the fans as Zaba did.

Two different things, they are presenting skewed news to their subscription base whereas we are building a team by buying players.

It is in Euros.

We have briefed the press that the deal is just under £50M but the press will just take the biggest number and multiply it by whatever to suit.

Just checked, and they're definitely reporting it as £52m. Arseholes.

everyone is reporting it as 52m expect Simon Mullock and Marin Blackburn who has been briefed by the club, think they are saying 49m

Guessing this will be done tomorrow? Can't imagine they'll have him doing medical and CityTV stuff straight after flying to LA

I thought we'd done all the media stuff when he was in Dubai?

He will have a nice bed on the plane to get some kip and will be landing early afternoon their time so will be straight down to business.

Expect a similar announcement first thing in the morning our time 09.00.

 

[ninjamonkey]

Who gives a fuck if it's reported as £49 million or £52 million? We've got our primary target in that position and that's the important thing, it's something we've failed at on many occasions in recent years.

The fee is irrelevant in today's market, there's so much money around that it really doesn't matter, other than having to comply with FFP which we do comfortably, money has no value anymore, hence why it's proving near impossible to get Sanchez from Arsenal.

We're taking the Real Madrid approach and relentlessly pursuing our primary targets and refusing to say no. This is how you win the big prizes.
