Well we don’t disagree then. I expect that should be the fee, and one someone will pay. When you mentioned “absolutely ridiculous bid”, I assumed you meant we’d set an astronomical number that no one would pay to effectively block his move, but if what you mean are those numbers, then our expectation is the sameThe club are not a charity, we won't sell for less than £60m/£70m.
Think Perrone and Gomez the most likely to move to make room, other than Bernardo, Mahrez, Laporte and Walker. Foden is a strange one and he’d benefit most I think from Mahrez and/ or Bernardo leaving as I think he would play more often, I think he’s ready to kick on to another level,and playing right side or central ( basically where Bernardo plays) would help him.The squad still would be thin if we did move Gomez on especially with experience training under Pep's new system. The likes of Lewis and especially Foden (although last season was one of he worse seasons at City since he broke through from the EDS) would be fine as they are used to Pep's new system. In strength in numbers then yes we are covered but in terms of quality I'm not so on.
I think Perrone is the most likely to move to make room as he was least used during the treble winning season. Although it is probably their last chances both Phillips and Gomez are the ones who are staying . I doubt we are going to sell Bernardo Silva, Riyad Mahrez and Kyle Walker in one transfer window.Think Perrone and Gomez the most likely to move to make room, other than Bernardo, Mahrez, Laporte and Walker.

lets get the squad back tomorrow and Pep will have some good conversation with certain players and then I expect things pick up some pace.
Cherki was mentioned by an ITK in the Mahrez thread. Very talented. Maybe still too young? Seems to be the summer in which he gets a big move though. Chelsea also linked
Is KDB still injured?
Yes and makes it a bit strange in wanting to move Bernardo Silva and Riyad Mahrez on.Is KDB still injured?
medical team are hopful he''ll be back for the 2nd PL gameThey said he didn’t need surgery just to rest, don’t know how long you have to rest for that type of injury though
