I replying to you and the broader audience. I.E. those quoting we wouldn't have the budget to spend 100m on Felix and secure other targets.

Well you need to make yourself clearer, that reply made fuck all sense to anyone, and if you think we're spending 100m+ on a talented 19yo your living in cloud cuckoo land, it's not City's m.o

Pheww, the amount of times you see comments like that on here, never can be certain who's joking :)

Of course he was joking, he had a custard pie in one hand, hand a can of the silly string in da udder.

The silly season is now well and truly open for those gullible to believe the self elected ITK's and FIFA 19 transfer experts on here; )

According to the reports, which all seem to be coming out of Portugal, there are four clubs ready to trigger the clause, all with different payout structures. From everything I've seen it seems its us, United, Real, and Atletico. The thing that has me skeptical about the reports is this talk of teams trying to offer different terms to Benfica so that Benfica accept that specific bid. Would that suggest no one's offer is to pay the buyout up front? Because it's always been my assumption that if one of those clubs paid the 120m then it's all down to Felix, not Benfica.

From what I have read we have only promised the fee to Benfica.

We just want to do our due diligence in regards to FFP, because I get the feeling 6 months ago a player like Felix was not on our radar, but because of his promise and potential to be possibly one of the top 5 players in Europe in the future I think we have had to rethink our plans this summer and double check our figures and see if we can make this signing.

I personally only think it's between us and United because Madrid are signing Hazard and now potentially Erikson, Juve I am unconvinced they have £120m to pay for a player and Atlético in my opinion will need to sell Griezmann first.
 
Correio Da Manha are saying,Madrid,Rags and US,have all offered the same amount,but we are in pole position as we have "agreed to pay the agents commissions".

Unless someone can convince me but I hope we dun pay that much for him. Imo he has a very high bust factor. Unless it's Mbappé or de ligt, we shouldn't spend that much on a young largely unproven player.

I'd never spend that much on a defender. That's absurd!

So are you saying you'd rather spend an extra 150 million?

i would personally yes. Would recoup money in no time through shirts and sponsors as he is 100% going to be a multi ballon d'or winner. 250 mill for a 5 year contract is 50 mill per year he is deffo worth that.

Fair enough.
 
Do all you guys who are so sure we're not going to spend this much on a 19 year old think Txiki and co are just finding out how much the player would cost now? The fact that we're still in it, and haven't shot it down to Mullock or someone like that as we do, is pretty solid evidence that we definitely will spend that much money on the right player.

Shirt money isn't worth a wank mate.

I thought shirt sales money goes mostly to the shirt manufaturer and we get the money we have agreed with the manufacturer. Might be wrong, but the whole agruement that we make it back on shirt sales i thought was a bit of a myth, it just gives us more bargaining power when negotiating a kit deal.

There is pure gambling and then there are calculated risks, I would hope the club are in the later category. It all boils down to trusting the team you have at the club to make the right decisions including Pep. I trust our management and club. If they say not happening good enough for me.

yep we are all behind pep and the owners, but realty is fans can not control who we sign or sell and like it or not we have to be happy with what as happened in the 3 seasons under pep, so if he say's yes or not to a new signing at £100 million am happy to go with that, it sounds a lot of money but the transfer market is not ours to control when buying and clubs know when city come knocking they can add £20/£30 million because of our owners wealth

city have walked away before when being played in the transfer market, and agents with bad friendships with our owners and links to bad signings are never going to happen again and city are better in dealing with the middle man and scouts are doing there jobs, so the gamble will be only small one and the knowledge built up him is clear and not just youtube clips made to look world class
