We have sold half of Zin for £30m. Neymar is on route according to new information that has come to light from reputable sources. Think that’s it for now.Just back from getting my Neymar tattoo, looks fantastic. So what’s the latest?
We have got 47M for Sterling and 30M+ for Zin. Surely it will be well enough for any left back in the world....I suspect if we are not quite getting the price we want for Zinchenko then it’s linked to progressing another deal (Cucurella) and we are against the clock on both. As long as the prices for both aren’t worlds apart then it’s good business for the squad.
Personally I think £35M sounded about right so £30M isn’t miles off. Over the last 5 years here in the PL he’s played 533, 1153, 1272, 1474 & 1042 minutes. So he’s only averaging 10-12 games maximum in the side per season in a position that isn’t his own.
You’d expect a full-time left-back will offer the squad a lot more contribution than that over the course of each season. I’d hope so at least for the money touted.

Sam Lee doesn’t need bluemoon or anybody else’s help to look stupid, especially when it comes to transfers.
He does a fine job all by himself
That said I’d agree with him that this was absolute bollocks all along
True Berting is an art formAmazing. You can be negative and negative at the same time....
It's so funny how they try and play it downBs, if it wasn’t what City wanted, he wouldn’t be going.
Guys, Barca aren't skint they've raised about €600m in revenue by extremely riskily selling their rights and essentially gambling on their future. They have loads of debt but are "cash rich" at this present moment, albeit with huge liabilities.
Fees aren't the issue for them at this present time, the problem they have with players salaries is they have to come under a cap to meet la liga rules which is why they're signing £100-150k salary players and trying to move on £400-500k players like FDJ.
Massively risky strategy but, to my understanding, that's the financials behind it
I don’t mind him he does a job. I’m sure when I first started on bluemoon he was over hyped and some posters everyone hung on his every word. Now it’s the complete opposite, maybe they took it personally when they found out he wasn’t the messiah and got some stuff wrong. Truth is probably somewhere in between and is pretty boring really.I like Sam Lee and the stories he's done on players in the Athletic.
There, I said it.
actually he is one of the most honest journos out there. he is honest and says he don't know or not certain unlike other clout chasing peopleI don’t mind him he does a job.

They were supposed to be selling a 49% stake BLM for over 300m as well, but that's pending tbfHave they sold there second batch of 15% of there tv deal then?
They sold 10% that made them around 250m
Always a discount for pound shop pep, he’s not called that for nothing.the same guy said 35-40m yesterday, the discount puzzles me
Makes sense as both are very left field!Him and his sister are signing as left sided defence .

Bet they’re celebrating as we speak the absolute oddballs.Him and his sister are signing as left sided defence .
Bet they’re celebrating as we speak the absolute oddballs.
They're gangstersThey were thinking about that as well as another 15% tv sales but not done so yet
He is pretty much the only high profile dedicated Man City journalist who gets to write regular in-depth pieces, so really we should all be fans.I like Sam Lee and the stories he's done on players in the Athletic.
