Club briefing that. Looks like we are determined to see it through which is good.

We would have debriefed we have walked away if there are any issues that can't be rectified.

Why not.
Do you not understand the concept of putting a value on something.

You've got the example the wrong way round. Leipzig are the petrol station, they value diesel at £1.50 per litre; City only want to pay £1.35 per litre.

Is it? Or are you just disappointed that your misreading of my initial comments doesn't neatly fall into the "whining fanny flapper" narrative you seem to love falling back to so much?

It is.

Not really my narrative btw.

reminds me of the KDB transfer. The Wolfsburg sporting director at the time came out out and said the same sort of things, then a couple of days later it was all signed sealed and delivered.

very weird how defensive some people here on simple facts like "it sucks that we miss out on good players" like it's some sort of attack on them

Must have missed that particular post, what page was it on?

Oooft that's infuriating: Liverpool not fucking about, getting a player I wanted at City and it strengthening Leipzig's position while we don't pay their asking price. Ouch

not that it matters, but on june 30th i was hoping to see the news that city signed gvardiol and triggered szoboszlai’s release clause. i just loved watching him play.

I agree, some people get so aggressive for no reason. You are a city fan as much as anyone else and want what you thinks best for the club as they do. It's a forum for people to discuss opinions and news but some people can't handle different opinions and view points.

yeah i think that’s weird. could bu just cultural differences i guess. but i like hearing different opinions on any subject and believe discussions are good.

Just part of the pantomime to appease their fans

their fans knew he’d leave soon, that was never a secret, they have their core players that are there long term, others are there to be sold.

The other poster was suggesting Pep doesnt give a shit about costs and just wants the player here.

My example was trying to say that if we value Gvardiol at 85m because that is what all of metrics tell us, why would we pay over that.
If you put £30 of petrol in your car, that is what you pay. You don't jump a queue of people and throw £50 on the table.

Pep is involved in this and for all we know, he is telling Txiki to stick to our guns.

It's not vermin, it's either new City fans or teenagers.

They react badly to every tweet as if it's the absolute truth.

It’s also some blues who have been on here for years but somehow still don’t learn

 

[vanchi]

If we miss out on Gvardiol, I want us to keep Laporte. Anyone else is not good enough. Then, I want us to pay Gvardiol's release clause (close to 100m quid) next summer.

but why would they pay more next year when they want him now and it’s less money now?

If Borges Is available then why haven't City dangled the carrot of a player plus reduced fee to Leipzig, other teams In Germany are Interested as well as WH and others, got to be tempting, from what I've seen of the lad Leipzig would be pretty much guaranteed a profit on the lad in the future, got to be careful that Liverpool or Chelsea don't sneak In with the fee Leipzig want.
