haha , on every thread you have argument :) , I admire youre passion,but fuck me are you pig headedNo, I'm just replying to people who replied to my argument.
Every fullback that has moved to a top club this season has moved for 30 million or less. Yet, folks are trying hard to convince themselves 30 million is fair for a backup.As I stated he's stagnated awfully, For £30 million we'd be hoping that he can become decent again and regain his Porto form under Pep while playing back up/rotating with Walker? Can't see it myself as it's too much of a similar situation to his situation at Real Madrid right now.
As for Maffeo, I have no problem with him being on loan at Girona and I don't think he's the answer that a lot of people think he is at the minute.
30 million is the going rate is it not? Since the Alves debacle, people are almost saying give me any RB signing as that'll do and it reeks of desperation.
As for who else is available, Perreira would be in with a shout surely? Karsdrop was available for €14 million, wasn't he?
Chelsea will be replacing Moses with Danilo won't they? That makes sense for them as he'd be an upgrade as we'd be signing him to be back up to Walker and rotate with him.
He's just bought a 26 year old for £30m in his position.
He's not saying Maffeo needs a year in La Liga, he's saying "I'm spending £90m on fullbacks so I don't have to think about the position for the rest of my time at City".
This isn't a "see you in a year, Pablo" moment, this is a, "we no longer have an opening in your position, please accumulate some value in Spain so you fetch us a decent fee" decision.
ok,let me put it this way
MAFFEO ISNT DEEMED GOOD ENOUGH AT THE MOMENT BY THE PEOPLE THAT MATTER
You really could have been nicer with this response :)I don't know if you three were being intentionally obtuse but it was pretty obvious @Hamsterdam95 was talking about Sancho moving away because players like Maffeo - who could play understudy to Walker - don't get chances in situations like this.
Which is of course the correct decision given Pep has clearly decided he isn't good enough.
He's not making it, if he was we wouldn't be signing Danillo. So let's make some money out of him.
Just because you think Maffeo deserves a chance doesn't mean Pep does. He looked, he's took stock, he's made his decision.
He's out
Danilo has been average to poor for real, but has two ucl medals and a la liga win in his back pocket. Don't compare him to bonyEvery fullback that has moved to a top club this season has moved for 30 million or less. Yet, folks are trying hard to convince themselves 30 million is fair for a backup.
Its mind boggling the mental gymnastics our fans want to go thru. If you don't give a shit what we pay, great. I respect that. But its folks trying to convince themselves 30 million is fair for a backup is just laughable. I mean, Real is about to make a profit on a guy they overpaid for, and who wasn't good enough for them.
Its like us pinning off Bony for 30 million. Its insane.
Anyway. :(
it's the constant "we're desperate to use kids, just as long as they're world class and worth £50m at 18 before we trust them in a cup game" that's annoys people like myself, and (I think) @Neville Kneville
But Jadon Sancho is already the jewel in the academy crown at just 17. Maffeo has never really stood outAnd players like Jadon Sancho will follow him out the door.
