Big signing? If so, it's not an attacker. Some decent midfielder. Kroos or something.
Please make this happen Txiki

We'd have got Kroos if Pogba would have gone to Madrid. Pretty sure of that. Don't think there's any chance now unfortunately.Big signing? If so, it's not an attacker. Some decent midfielder. Kroos or something.

If madrid get a bid accepted for alaba could we match it coz Munich were selling anyway ie, not pinching players. Fernandinho right back alaba left back in this new system. That for me would be a boom moment.

I think they did what we did. Heard the price and passedWas that ever a scenario? Were Madrid ever in for Pogba?
Listening to "The Football Show" on Sirius XM on the way to work and Charlie Stillitano just said that he was informed that City was very close to triggering Messi's release clause this summer. Certainly that had to be the "Boooom" the op was talking about.
While Messi is clearly the world's best right now, that would have been a ton of money!

We were close to triggering it, what does that mean? His release clause is £250m, so we offered £240m.. Or we offered the full fee but backed out..

The way it was presented on the show is that we were close to offering the full amount thus triggering the release clause, but evidently we ultimately decided against it. They then went on to say that it would have been worth it, regardless of the fee involved, to get Messi.

I've been thinking the same thing over the last few days. The way we have set up in the last 2 games is absolutely tailor made for Alaba. He'd be the perfect signing for us. Can't see it happening though, unfortunately.
