It's Quiet 17 - Glory Thread

I think all top players will have a release clause in the future so they don't get imprisoned by dishonourable chairmen like Levy.

Besides, I can't see any downside to this. Worst case scenario, we get the world's most sought after striker for relative peanuts, a couple of years' service and quadruple our money. You'd have to be mad not to do it.

A huge buyout fee also eliminates any possibility of those silly stories that united or liverpool are in the mix to poach him from us.

Mason Mount joining City would really piss on Chelsea fans. Would take a huge chunk of money to sign him though. We were linked in Autumn and again recently but I think once Chelsea get the ok to negotiate contracts again, I think he signs for them. Not sure we really need him right now but he would be right up there as the type of player we would be interested in.

Mount is overhyped by the London media (no surprise). Not seen many links to him and we don't need him.
 
For anyone flapping about this potential release clause and commitment to city…he’d have a release clause in there if he’d joined Madrid, it’s nothing personal.

Only thing I’d say is that €150m (if true) is too low. He’s worth that already, wait til he’s got 3 prems, a champions league and the best part of 100 city goals under his belt

Honestly think City feel comfortable as they'd back themselves to keep any player. Sane is the only player of note who has left that we wanted to retain.

Most outlets are pushing in excess of 150m so it could be significantly higher. I'm hoping one year in City get him to agree to better terms with a higher release clause.
 
Maybe I'm just incredibly impatient but I don't think we'll be signing a player who is going to piss everyone off.

I mean, it's us and we can't sign a single player without pissing everyone off but I don't know if people are wasting their time trying to think of which massively controversial signing we're going to make because I'm not sure one is coming.

In reality, I think people will be pissed off because we've already added one of the best goalscorers on the planet and we'll continue strengthening our squad. That will lead to the usual "but what about FFP?" and "City are killing football" comments.

I'd love for it to be true that we're going in for a sort after, well loved and expensive player but rival supporters get in a right tizz every time we sneeze during a transfer window anyway.

Fingers crossed mate. IF he were to leave in 3 years it should be for a world record fee

Reckon he’ll be around much longer though, who thought we’d be seeing 7 (soon to be 9) years of Pep

Honestly mate, the does anyone give a shit. We've just signed the hottest property in football. I'm sure it's just an ego thing for most.
