Yes, we should walk away. He is not worth more than £50 million.

 

[Skrastins]

Is there plane planned from Leipzig to Manchester tomorrow?

Where was he when City thrashed Leipzig 7-0 last season?

Leipzig no longer need the money having been paid millions for two other players. He will be staying put as I suggested weeks ago.

Now that Leipzig have imposed a time deadline as well as a silly price tag, I can see City walking away and try hanging on to Laporte instead. Maybe look again next summer.

It's a matter of snapping up the best young players while they're available, particularly while other clubs don't appear to have funds available.

Jack Grealish is a good example of this policy.

City could wait until next summer to go for Gvardiol, but could well end up in an auction with the likes of Real, Rags etc if/when they've raised a few quid.

The departure of Mahrez has accelerated our need for a winger. We were already well down the line for Gvardiol when that problem arose.

Expect the Mahrez cash to be spent on a replacement in the next week or two. It's only been the club's 'immediate priority' for a few days.

You bring up some good points but as I've said before, center back is probably the one position in world football where there's a revolving door of top-quality young players coming through. I just think we should be using that money on more pressing positions of need but let's see how it all shakes out.
