It's Quiet 17 - Glory Thread

[LongsightM13]

Must have been Joe Shields to make that recommendation. City's structure and how they run is clearly admired across Europe.

Yep they previously targeted Chelsea for Livramento and Broja, now looking our way with Shields in place

Query for those in the know. When there’s a buy back clause and the club decides they want to buy the player back, does the player get any say? Can they say no I don’t fancy it?

It’s quite impressive that Barcelona can piss off both Manchester clubs at the same time

They've pissed off a few fans. I doubt the club is even remotely pissed off

£50m + from the sales of Bazunu, Gyabi, Lavia, Edozie and Itakura

Of course they can.

But why would they pass up on the opportunity?

He's not for sale, but Barca are taking the piss again with low ball offers.

Lol. It’s just talk… they don’t even have £60m. The frauds.

You don’t think that unsettling one of our best players and trying buy ridiculously cheap is pissing off the club? Also the whole Frankie thing with United has to have them irate

Not sure about that. Lavia has never played a league game. 2 cup appearances.
Luiz had 11 starts in Brazil’s top flight and 38 games in La Liga when we sold him

Is Luiz ever touted to be highly rated like Lavia was? and besides he is not even our own academy product. There's will be difference in term of potential between Luiz and Lavia if they have the same age in comparison. Southampton can see that (with their highly rated scouting team) and they will insist a higher buy back before aggreing 14m for him. 40m is still reasonable fee for potentially a world class dm, Southampton will make a decent profit and City can get a world class dm at 40m price tag.

Have they made an offer for any of our players?
Or is this just Barca friendly media mouthing off on their behalf for the 'benefit' of their fans?

So, you're assuming they've insisted on a higher buy back?

I don't know but they're really pissing me off

 

[abraham7143]

Any big name this summer?

 

[Fordyboy46]

Barca are total wankers, think everybody should bend over a barrel for them when they want a clubs player, yet when some club wants to buy one of their players it's met with a ' not for sale' fuck off. How they're getting away with buying and not selling is beyond me

Eerrrrmmmmm………. Haaland?

 

[abraham7143]

Eerrrrmmmmm………. Haaland?

I mean any other?

 

[Fordyboy46]

Barca- give us Bernardo you fucking City wankers, 50m offer so hand him over now.
City- OK that meets our valuation
If we do sell we better make sure we don't give him away, 85m is still way too cheap. Has to be 100m plus if Bernardo wants out

 

[citizen_maine]

I don't know but they're really pissing me off

I find it funny. It's the rantings of a past it force trying to make out that they're still the man

 

[andyhinch]

Eerrrrmmmmm………. Haaland?

It’s only 7 letters tbf.

 

[simon23]

Obviously, I hope he is happy now and stays. However, I really don't see him signing a new contract, so it's money now or let him walk for nothing.

If the right money is on the table, I think City will take it. Whichever way it goes, I'd much prefer it settled before the season starts

As you say, "the right money"...Barca wont have the cash for £80m (which should be our minimum valuation of him) and who else is going to have that.....The only other ones are Madrid as I cant see him going to the German league and I highly doubt anyone from the prem will pay that amount and even if they would his reasons for leaving would be to go back to Spain so again it aint happening.

If he doesnt sign a new contract he will go in 2 years on a free.....or when in his last year we will do what we are doing with Sterlnig now.
