City without Sergio is unthinkable one of the best strickers in the world, if he was to go this summer then the backlash would be difficult for the club to suffer as we would not get to say goodbye to one of the most important players in the clubs history far more than Zabbs ( sorry karen ) and look what he got, and i think the club are aware of this, so thats why i dont think he is going anywhere, at least i hope not.

If that was the only issue perhaps they'd let him go after the first game of the season - window would be open for a month. Could a precontract be done in the summer to allow for this? Only issue is he couldn't be sold later that year by the buying club right?

Ridiculous I know. Lol

What we all have to adjust to is the fact big clubs make big decisions on players all the time.

If he was to go for good money and the side was successful after, it would soon be forgotten.

We cant just keep buying without making room first.

I mean, he is on the wane in many respects, but that's largely irrelevant. He's the face of the franchise, the most beloved and popular player potentially in our history. It's still unthinkable to me that the club would move him on against his will.

Seems to me, if City are in on Mbappe seriously, then Aguero wants to leave. It's impossible to imagine he'd be pushed.
 
Its probably just me (and mostly because I'm a bit of an old fogey) but isn't anyone else slightly uncomfortable that we're heading towards spending 200m on players this summer? I know the money the PL has and us in particular inflates the costs but the romantic in me still would like to see us develop some of our own talent rather than just buy others.

Nope, most definitely just you, and tbh I'll be pissed if it's only £200mil, I want nearer £300mil.

By the end of the summer it's quite likely that United have the 3 most expensive players in history in their team.

I don't give a flying fuck if we spend £300m, and the cost of the starting 11 doesn't really effect us developing players either.
 
Calm down everyone Sergio is going no where in this transfer window he is the favourite player of the Sheik and Pep has been told that it's the one player he can not sell.

I agree with you. £200 million is nowhere near enough - £400 million should do it though.

It does when we are still looking to get some of our biggest misses off the books at the moment, Mangala was going to solve our centre half problems 3 seasons ago and Boney looked like good business at the time. How wrong we were, then we have the likes of Nolito who rocked up for one season and is being bombed out and Bravo who was the key to our footballing philosophy and then dropped half way through the season for Willy.

We seem to turn over a high amount of players to get where we need to be in solving our problems then go back to the tried and trusted ones who have been doing the job for the last 6 seasons.

Yeah I mean, we weren't developing them before this summer anyway..Loan out and then sell is what our academy is for

The gap between 1st team and academy is too big. We are developing top players but they will probably go elsewhere
