It's Quiet 17 - Glory Thread

[tolmie's hairdoo]

I don’t see it as strange, said last week that other than Real Madrid it was the only place I could see him end up. Most of their forward line has underperformed. They will pay the wage he wants and they tick all the other boxes he’d no doubt require, imo.

Strange as in they are getting encouragement, whether from us or the player.

Wasn't Alvarez about £14m?

That is true, but technically he signed in Jan, we just loaned him back...it wasn't a deal where he would "sign in the summer", so we already started paying for him in Jan so thats why I didn't include it

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

So looks like bazunu is off to Saints, £12mil + £4mil add ons, with a buyback clause

Another brilliant example of the CFG doing its job...yet we won't get praise for it, this will be straight profit too as he cost like £400k which was a few years ago

In: £51mil
Haaland £51mil

Out: £20mil
Bazunu £12mil (£16mil)
Porro £8mil

Don't forget we sold Torres for £54m in January.

After winning the PL, it will be nice to add another title ( The Net spending Trophy )

Imagine the dipper reaction when they realise how massive a rebuild they need after losing Mane for £40mil and potentially Salah for free while we are here signing Haaland, Phillips, Cucurella and posting a profit

Ah,right.

Chelsea continue to pursue a possible deal for Sterling this summer.

Perhaps they are receiving encouragement. Strange.

Would be very odd for City to sell to a rival but maybe the cash and the player pushing for it would seal something :/

I think most would. We don't usually sell to rivals, but the reality is decent transfer fees generally come from other Premier League clubs.

not just the fee but the wages saved and can be invested as well? I dont see next season being any different for sterling to be honest and i just think his time here has come to an end? His performances were pretty average last season for the majority of things and it does seem that behind the scenes pep doesnt have the faith in him he used to. I do hope though if sterling and jesus leave we would go and get someone in?

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

Jesus is the bargain of the window, outside of us signing Haaland for £51.4m.

£50m for Jesus?

His age, his lower wages, his winning pedigree, his talent, his first-class attitude, a Brazil international?

And he can walk on water!!

If City were trying to sign him I would be excited and the price would be £75m.

i assume gabby is steadfast on leaving still? :-(

Why do you see it as strange? I’d have thought if that’s the only way we can generate a decent fee then we wouldn’t be averse to it, and I do think Raz would be happy enough with them as an option for change of scenery. We will see I suppose over next couple of weeks as it certainly won’t be one we will want dragging out.
