Txiki is the best negotiator when there is a release clause.

Txiki got intimidated by the German Shepherds outside Leipzig’s headquarters

First I said I imagine he would be pep has told the board what he wants and they have only delivered Kovacic whilst also not getting rid of players who were reported to be leaving I.e Cancelo and Laporte.
I’m saying the reason we have won all these trophies is Pep being the best manager in the world the board have let him down on a few occasions like not getting Kane and a proper left back. The reason being he is so good he can work around these problems.
Chelsea bidded €90m euros last summer and didn’t get him so with the World Cup and another year of experience in the champions league and bundesliga his price has gone up to which was quoted €100m so his price has been set and numerous reporters have said the set price.we obviously have a set price we will go to on players or we would’ve spent more to get Rice or Kane.

Yawn

Is he back in Leipzig now?

Bild, Leipzigs local jorno, Tolmie, fabrizio. even Jan aage

Have all said this deal will be done bild even going as far as to say Leipzig want it done this week....

but people believe that secret scout guy.

Thesecretscout is not saying the deal is off is he? He just said City have "alerted their backup options IN CASE it doesn't go through". Which seems like the right move from City, even if we still hope the deal will get done, we are starting to run out of time and need alternatives even if its 90% chance of happening. Because regardless of what Bild, Leipzigs local journo, Tolmie, Fabrizio, Jan Aage have told you, the deal is obviously still not 100% done. If it was, he would be training with City and not Leipzig.

Really not that worried about this. I doubt Kovacic would be talking so openly about it if the move was in doubt.

I seen the obligatory " yernited ready to hijack Gvardiol transfer" on Tw@tter yesterday which tells me it's done now

 

[mosssideblue]

Shock. Didn't see this coming. Gvardiol is a long term investment, the guy is 21 years old and could potentially secure our backline and DM position for over a decade, and we're going to walk for the sake of ten million. He's a player Pep has requested, and we shouldn't be in a position where we have to offer him alternatives; we should be giving our manager the best after what he's done for us. Our backline are superb but several of them are shockingly injury prone; bringing in this lad gives us cover all over.

As of now, this has been a fucking horrendous window, and I don't understand how anyone can think otherwise. Keeping Bernardo and getting Gvardiol will change that but I don't think we'll sign him now. By all accounts we're sat on a fucking goldmine, we need to show it and once again obliterate all others next season.

LMFAO. Amazing what twitter does to some

Still 2 weeks to go until the start of the season proper.

But If anyone thinks we’re going to win either the PL title or CL again after losing Mahrez and Gundogan, and only having the current team and squad, you can think again.

Revenues of £700mill according to Soriano, current transfers in and out are against player wise, and wages are a positive reduction for the club.

Agree with this, time to move of course but as it stands we are weaker than we were last season and our competitors have all currently improved their squads.
