It's Quiet 32 - enter at own risk

Ive not been keeping up with he transfer window so can someone tell me why a player like De Ligt who is going for between 60-70m is cheaper than McGuire who isn't as good.

Why also would De Ligt go to Juve (if the rumours are true) when he could go to the Prem league of Spanish leagues?

Why (If the quoted prices are correct) are we not all over De Ligt who we could have for the same price , or near enough, as McGuire...is it about wages, dealing with certain agents?
Could be about about wages or perhaps he just doesn't want to live in Manchester.

If DeLigt was considered a reasonable price deal, every major club would be talking to him.

It appears only a very few are. That has to be due to the fat ****'s involvement.

There's probably 400,000 reasons a week a lot of clubs aren't interested.
 
Is the correct answer...

There’s a lot of confusion over what makes a player worth what, and many posters are seemingly busy comparing ages, experience & skill levels then getting giddy when a foreign star has a lower conceived value than a perhaps lesser English / home grown player . . while blindly ignoring the well known quota effect.
It’s plain to see (IMO)that DeLigt has more going for him in on the pitch footballing terms, than Maguire, and if he were English then he’d be worth much more than Maguire - but he’s not and there’s a supply & demand reality that some posters are naive enough to ignore or are perhaps deliberately ignoring so that they have an excuse to have a good squeal about it.

He might be 'worth' more than Maguire, if he was English, but with that fat ****'s involvement, it's doubtful anyone here would pay the rate.

In fact, a modern day version of the pre Glazer, Ferguson's Utd would be the most likely, if any, as they actually liked to force up transfer fees & wages, to wipe out opposition.
 
Manchester City want to go into the new season with a squad that has two top players for every position. City are looking to bring in up to four new faces, with Txiki Begiristain working on a blueprint to keep the club amongst the elite of European football. [@MullockSMirror]
 
Manchester City believe Leicester will reduce their £90million valuation of Harry Maguire if the player wants to move. City have earmarked another £55million to sign Rodri after deciding the 22-year-old is the long-term replacement for Fernandinho. [@MullockSMirror]
 
Manchester City are waiting to hear whether Nicolas Otamendi wants to leave, although there are no plans to replace the central defender at the moment if he does depart. Pep Guardiola feels Fernandinho is equipped to move back into central defence if required. [@MullockSMirror]

Manchester City will listen to offers for Fabian Delph and will look to recoup around £70million if Danilo and Nicolas Otamendi decide to leave. City will look to invest around £135 million into new faces this summer. [@MullockSMirror]

So we’re not signing a CB, but we could sign 4 players? Rodri, Cancelo, Angelino and ?

You forgot this one

Think the article is alluding to the fact we won’t sign 2 cbs if otamendi goes. Mullock mentions we are interested in maguire and De Ligt.
 
City will still be deciding whether to work with Raiola after De Ligt signs elsewhere.

That would definitely mean we want to replace Vincent with a top CB.
