£70 mill for James seems excessiveWe have asked about Reece James.
Ake and Raheem would be £110m.
They didn't really want to pay that, so we have proposed a solution.
It would mean James and £40m coming to us.
Thoughts?
I think we are very short at right-back and it would be a phenomenal deal?

People said the same about £50m for Walker. James is just 22.£70 mill for James seems excessive

Not a fan. I don't think James is worth 70m. I'll take James + 55m.We have asked about Reece James.

Feels like the preamble to them deciding to just go for Raz? Maybe I’m wrong but I still feel it’s more likely Ake stays. They’d have to really stump up the cash.

I would pull the trigger. They would be incredibly foolish to let him go.

As long as we got Cucurella I don’t think we’d be short in defence if we allowed Ake to go.I’d be quite happy to see James in a City shirt, but with Cancelo and Walker already at our disposal, I wouldn’t describe us as ‘very short’ at right back. They also have decent injury records. If Ake is to be sold I’d be far more concerned about our levels of cover at centre half, where Stones and Laporte are regularly on the treatment table….
That‘d mean we had an additional full back, which added to Phillips now being able to act as back up for Rodders would mean we’d have ample solutions at the back should we hit an injury crisis, and that’s before we factored in any youth player like Mbete being required.
Walker, Rodders and Phillips could all play central in an emergency, always difficult to keep 4 top drawer central defenders happy.
It's not though really, is it.
We are selling players on the fringes, non-starters.
Raz, Gabby, Ake, Zin, Steffen, Torres, Bazunu, Fern, Gyani, Egan-Riley, Edozie, Porro.
That's almost £285m right there. All not guaranteed starters or fringe squad.
Haaland, Alvarez and Phillips in so far @ £110m.
Cucurella and more to follow.
It's a window for the ages.
Brighton fan popping up in the cucurella thread adamant he is staying.
