Fair enough, that. I admire City's resolve in sticking to their valuation, no matter good the players is or how much they want him.

Not for us they aren't Gvardiol can do what Stones can do for us. Fofana couldn't.
I meant in general. Obviously different players suit different teams better.
What do you think about us offloading Conor?
I'm conflicted on this one.

For 40 million I would rip West Hams hand off if the offer is genuine.

It's a lot of money, more than fair value but we're literally in a situation where we cannot afford to lose more midfielders. We've sold the entire midfield. If we sell Gallagher too, it's just Enzo on his own plus youngsters like Chukwuemeka, Casadei and Santos.
I would have been OK with selling him before we sold Mount and Kovacic. Now I think we can't afford to lose him.
I agree. Plus he's actually played well in pre-season. I'd keep him if I were Poch.It's a lot of money, more than fair value but we're literally in a situation where we cannot afford to lose more midfielders. We've sold the entire midfield.

Yeah, we might end up regretting it if we don't take the money but honestly I think players like Gallagher will always have a market among the midtable clubs. We rejected 30m a year ago from Palace and people said we'd be stupid not to take it, yet we've since had a 45m bid from Everton in January and now West Ham. In fact the Times reported yesterday that they immediately returned with a 47m bid (42 + 5), so we'll see what Chelsea do with that. Spurs and Newcastle are also supposedly sniffing around him.
I would definitely keep him. I'm pretty sure there will still be takers at 40m in 12-18 months time.
Yeah world class players suit world class teams lol

Lol fair point but not always. Akanji suits City very well but I don't think anybody would call him world class :)
