It's Quiet the £250m return

Thanks for that, most informative - we live and learn. I do remember their owner speaking about us in glowing terms a while back but clearly things may well have changed since then.
There was great affection from the Spaniards until Mubadala (rightfully) pulled out of the deal — they even sent former King Juan Carlos to the Etihad to try to save it. It’s no coincidence that Javier Tebas’s criticism of City intensified after the deal fell through. So, unfortunately, we don’t have a great relation with Real Madrid.
 
Give it 2 years and we'll be bringing up Rodrygos stats and saying he's not doing enough.

Is 15 G/A a year for 100m going to be enough for bluemoon?
He's a 1 in 3 man not worth 50m never mind 100m people only want him as he plays for Madrid. And Madrid don't sell their good players.

Robben
Ozil
Higuain
Di Maria
Marcos llorente
Kovacic
Odegaard

Madrid sell when they want a shiny new toy and can’t make room so they force others out but those forced out are not bad players. Higuain and Robben a major example. Di Maria as well
 
Fair enough mate, you could be totally right.

I just think from my perspective we've expected Akanji, Stones and Gundo to go and we're clambering to shrink the squad and Bobb is immune as he gets the CT place.

Part of the proof might be in who, if anyone, takes his place, and if any of those older guys do move on.
I think we’ve definitely expected Gundo and Akanji to go, hence the Gala rumours from a few weeks ago. I suppose Pep can send a relative message to them in the next couple of weeks if they get minimal game time for example.
 
Still have no idea what to make of the last 18 hours or so but can’t say this was a boring window. Will be really interesting to see how the next week transpires. Hopefully stronger than we are today
 
I expected Gundo and Bernie to go not the others ones.. but not even a peep or a rumor even. About a month+ ago Gundo was linked and Bernie sitting on his last year it looks like.

Apparently the club has no interest of extending the deals.
