Luckily you are not an agent, you are a full time ****. Maybe you could job share?If I was an agent i would not advise my player to join City in January, team has imploded, Pep might resign, club may be relegated. So top targets will be hard to get.
We had this discussion yesterday. You basically said the same thing then and I told you why I disagreed. Not sure why you are suddenly a day later quoting one of the earliest posts in the discussion, saying the excact same thing without elaborating at all.
It isn't a good deal when it became abruptly clear that we would have needed the player he became as soon as he got given a chance, rather than the fee. You saying over and over again that De Bruyne didn't cut the mustard at Chelsea doesn't make it true. They had a great player and they sold him. They made a mistake. Both De Bruyne and Palmer went on to become two of the best players in the league straight off the bench. No development time at all, not a year after the move. Straight away.
I understand that it could be seen as a good deal, or a good move at the time. But this is the highest level of a multi-billionaire industry. Decisions will be judged on their ramifications long after the fact. Cole Palmer was a major mistake by us. KdB and Salah were major mistakes by Chelsea.
Absolutely, spot on and it’s just the my club bias.
If it was United (and I know it would have been far easier to get in their team), but we would laugh at them if they sell a player who ends up being one of the best in the prem.
That said there are positives and he is the best marketing for buy from the City Academy you can get.
It’s also not the clubs fault that PSR encourages selling youth players (this is a by product and is very wrong IMO).
So suck it up, we made a mistake but bar Chelsea we are the next best club to have benefitted from Cole Palmer and we have benefitted.
Not like United and Pogba.

I cannot remember too many fans complaining at the time when we banked £45M and still had Foden, Silva, Bobb, Alverez that could play on the right. Yes in hindsight it would have been good to keep him but we weren’t to know Silva and Foden would be having such a poor season. He’s a very good player that got away, I can only think of him and Sane in recent years of the players that left that I’d rather we keptAbsolutely, spot on and it’s just the my club bias.

Fans doesn't make the decisions. The club do.I cannot remember too many fans complaining at the time when we banked £45M and still had Foden, Silva, Bobb, Alverez that could play on the right.

Not sure too many were complaining when we sold Alvarez either. But that is also looking like a mistake considering we absurdly enough didn't replace him. Maybe if we kept the best number 10 in the league currently instead of selling him we would not have to replace Alvarez. But we did both. Do you see where I am going with this?
You have the most appropriate username on this board, your a raving lunatic.If I was an agent i would not advise my player to join City in January, team has imploded, Pep might resign, club may be relegated. So top targets will be hard to get.

Because your messages in various threads over recent days in particular made me curious about your allegiance.Manchester City, why are you asking?
I’ve got no problem at all with sensible fans of other teams coming on here - there are some really good contributors - but if they’re a WUM or consistently negative in an over the top way, it usually unravels.
