Just checked to see if that's real.
He, or his agency, are either an expert troll or it's done and dusted effectively.
That's the first like from that account in like 2 months as well. I can't imagine they'd be doing that unless it was close.
I’m sad to see him go, but £45m is a pretty decent fee imo, given his contract situation.So much for holding out for £50m
2 league titles and 1 Austrian cup along with the DFB-Pokal with Dortmund…Given we have 4 out of the past 5 league titles, I like that we seem to be targeting players who haven't won much.
Cucurella and Phillips haven't won anything of note I believe. Haaland has won the Austrian league once but I'm sure even he sees that as a minor trophy.
Should help to keep the group hungry and stop any complacency.
Not sure that multiples of book value have anything to do with how good business a deal is.
By that reckoning any money for Foden would be fabulous business presumably he doesn't have a value on our balance sheet.
Well it was aligned with his initial cost and the fact he has a year left on his contract - you take all those into account and it's great business. Each transfer is different and whether you think it is the right value is usually subjective. For me, looking at his amortised value, him having a year left (6 months for foreign clubs to sign for free) and the guaranteed fee look like a great transfer for us & Jesus.

City are not fucking about this summer. Squad is looking very complete. If we can manage to sweet talk Bernie into staying and sterling signs a new deal then we have a chance to win the league cup again :-)
It's a decent fee no doubt but when everything coming out was holding firm for £50m it's disappointing to see it less than that.I’m sad to see him go, but £45m is a pretty decent fee imo, given his contract situation.
I thought this would be the transfer we wouldn't buckle on given his quality, regardless of the contract situation.
Funny thing is Gittens played for Dortmund’s youth team…probably only got a handful -if it’s even close to that- of games for their first team.oooh. Interesting.
No doubt another Sancho type deal with buy backs and sell on fees. I guess he feel hes not breaking in the first team anytime soon and he is seeing his pals like bynoe gittens getting game time at Dortmund etc.
More money in the pot I guess.....for the Big One!

Think Sterling has gone personally.
