That's the best deal for Jesus & City we could hope for in this climate, particularly considering Juve's finances.

Bloody hell Long no wonder we can hopefully afford to splash the cash. ;)

That’s more than Sheiky paid for the whole club in 2008

Issue is that the buy is an option and not a compulsory one.

True, though sometimes an obligation to buy can works against us as well as for. If he has a great loan we may think about bringing him back or selling to other bidders for a higher fee than an obligation would be set at now.

I always thought of "options to buy" as "call options". Can we really refuse to sell at the stipulated price?

Not if there is an option to buy

 

[pudge]

Who have we not moved any closer to signing today?

 

[TonyM]

I'd hate if Jesus left. That said I see him as a wide forward like Sterling and Mahrez rather than a central striker.

I'd prefer Jesus over Sterling but I know that doesn't hk down well with some.

Don’t know , just assumed an option was an option for both sides. Maybe not.

Well if Juve’s finances are a problem then it’s tough shit for them and maybe they should not try deals with the big boys until their finances can match their ambitions.

 

[FantasyIreland]

Italian clubs, they honestly do take the piss. Every year they find a new low

Offer them similar for Chiesa

Yep, we should offer gabby in a swop deal for chiesa and see how they feel!

Let's hope he's got time to oil the hinges and fix the floor.

 

[Danamy]

City are in a strong financial position and don't NEED to sell to buy. However they are also well run, and will have an idea of what sort if income they'll want to bring in to be able to spend circa 200 million. This is all very normal business practice.

Looks to me like we're laying down the foundations to the media before some big cheques get signed off and everyone cries "oil money"

Hahahahhaaaaaaaaaaaa never thought of it that way mate.Who says you can`t make a profit from footie nowadays.

 

[dhruvblue]

Juve also showing interest in Icardi

 

[MarsLlama]

I'd prefer Jesus over Sterling but I know that doesn't hk down well with some.

You'd seriously prefer a guy who's become so bad that he can't get in the team even when he's the only fit striker to a guy on track to become our best ever goalscorer?

Its almost as if the fella who doubled his money by bailing out Barclays with £3.5bn knows what he is doing when it comes to business. He hasn’t needed to put a penny of his own money into City for years because his initial seed money has grown into a forest.
The media cretins who bang on about state ownership, sportswashing and bottomless resources really don’t have a clue, they are trying to make sense of a world which is hundreds of levels above their pay grade and expertise.
