It’s not as though City sat in a car outside his house on the eve of his 18th birthday now is it?

 

[WRicko]

What did they trigger on 1st jan ? is my only concern

 

[p.taker]

Yeah unfortunately unwanted clothing gets discarded in europe and semt to africa.

There should be plenty of good City kits available in Africa, like this classic

Sour grapes by his club. "Legal action" wont lead to anything. City up!

The purchase option.

I notice the BBC had this story up in seconds… they can never kick us enough.

Number one rule with these stories - you threaten legal action if you want to kick up a fuss in the press, you serve someone a lawsuit if you’ve got a case.

To be fair I don’t like this it has a smell of City pulling the strings and telling Real Valladolid to know your place,but if everything has been done above board then there’s fuck all they can do,I’m sure this isn’t the first time this has happened and is probably common place in a way with teams,still doesn’t sit right with me.

Valladolid want to have their cake and eat it. Value him as a €100m player but only pay him €2500 a week.

They shouldn’t have been greedy stingy bastards, given him a decent contract when he’d earned it and he’d have had a much bigger release clause.

Just get him! Good example how clubs are trying to squeeze out every the can get. It’s all business. If they are trying for 30M we should try for the lowest fee possible. Get him and loan him to Lens 2.5k/month is very disrespectful.

It's the mentality across Spain and Italy, they know the actual value of a player but because that particular player comes from a developing country, they feel they can disrespect the player by paying peanuts for their service.

Paying a professional footballer less than a garbage man is insane. That's just not down to being stingy, it's completely disrespectful and shows just how entitled they are and they wonder why their league is in the state that it's in.

To be fair - like the media, you’ve only heard one half of the story - & you (a fan?) believe the media.

So I guess the whole football world will be of the same mind - apart from us supporters

Manchester City to make major saving on La Liga starlet

Manchester City are set to save somewhere between €6m and €24m on their deal for La Liga starlet Juma Bah, due to an error from Real Valladolid.

I'm late to the party with this player but that seems to make sense of what's gone on, someone screwed up badly trying to shortchange the lad and/or perhaps his previous club.

Edit: why are so many posters convinced we're in the wrong here?

As a fellow African it makes me angry honestly. Seems like they fucked him over and are also mad that he is fucking them over now. I mean 2.5k is a lot for someone like him who is switching continents but u can at least give him like 10k. It’s a professional club in the highest Spanish division after all. He gets less than the average worker her as someone who works in a billion industry. His family must hit the jackpot with City‘s interest do I hope he leaves that place

 

[Coatigan]

Would he qualify for a work permit?

 

[Centurions]

Would he qualify for a work permit?

The claim is that he'd be loaned out to Lens, possibly to help out after taking Khusanov.

 

[discopop]

Well let’s be honest the capacity for mirth with the lads name and and a certain dipper with inappropriate foot ware is worth every bit of piss boiling from La Liga and mock outrage from the redshirt client journalists, I much prefer this new alliteration of our club with its seemingly newly found no fucks given attitude.

 

[Gaz (FMwkdsoul)]

yeah, playing in europe is a fuckton of points nowadays for a nailed on starter.

Yea I meant after that.
