Elliot Anderson | Opening bid rejected (p189)

[blueparrot]

Most of our targets are about to going to World Cups. If we are going for non World Cup players yeah you go and get them done and dusted now. Also I think we want the issue with the manager resolved. As in get him in the building so he's there when they sign. No doubt some players be thinking twice with the manager not confirmed yet. Will some be put off City without Pep too that's the issue we never had with Pep as most players wanted to play in his team.

We’ll they can’t whether they come to us or not so we have as much chance as anyone and better than most of getting players we want.

Nothing was ever likely to get sorted before the World Cup, I imagine it will be one that drags out with the fees/people involved...

Why Guardiola signed Kalvin Phillips over Declan Rice in 2022

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola opted to sign Leeds United’s Kalvin Phillips over a now-Arsenal superstar, according to a new report.

That report seems absolute bollocks to me

 

[foggy1974]

Defo thought we would have heard something on this before he left for the World Cup

I don't think it matters much as the rumours are that Anderson has agreed terms, just have to agree a fee with the mad Greek

 

[eastmanc]

Rather see our new boys in before the league kicks off. We more or less lost it last season with two defeats in August.

The world club cup fucked us up, we were so under cooked.

 

[eastmanc]

That report seems absolute bollocks to me

Agreed.

From city xtra they always post shite after a shit tonne of adds

 

[eyalluvitt]

The Paqueta deal was called off because of the betting charges.

No idea why, we have great lawyers

 

[It'sBlue93:20]

We’ve really got to get this done, I think this is crucical to winning the title and surviving in a post-Rodri world

Stop panicking for God's sake.

Is it officially summer, now that the first flappers of the transfer window have been sighted?

Shite or not they’re just a news aggregator for all things City. The story originates from The Telegraph.

Stop panicking for God's sake.

It's the Bluemoon transfer forum, that's what it does. It cries, stamps it's feet, shouts and screams until it gets it's own way.

Was Mido there too?

The thing is, if we think he's good enough long term, it would take a really serious injury to put us off buying him. Yeah you might get a few quid off but it would be peanuts over the life of his time here (again, if we think he's good enough). If he has an insane world cup that's the sort of thing that starts bidding wars with teams previously not in the picture, and really silly numbers being thrown around especially for wages.

We already own a bunch of players that could get injured this world cup. Getting this done before it starts is highly preferable, IMO.

If he injuries his ACL during the WC and we had signed him then, we would have a ~£100m on the treatment table and the squad would be one light in a crucial position If that happened we would move on and maybe come back at a later date

 

[Gabriel]

Would people be prepared to break the English record and pay say £130 million for him? Expect we could negotiate for less, of course, but if he is deemed the only missing part of the jigsaw, would that fee still be too much?

 

[King Jay]

Is he getting 300k/ weekly too?
