Leroy Sané

[Pam]

In the current market, probably.

And anyway, why should we care?

Ooooh, we'll love Aladdin Sane. God bless David Bowie.

He was your hero Pam, yeah? Put on your red shoes and dance the blues!

But you are wrong. We dont over pay as such. We pay the rate 12 months ahead of inflation.

We did it with Raheem, bought him a year before the league saw the silly money come in. had we left it until this year, any team could pay 44 mil for him.

No team would pay 44 million for Sterling this year or 42 million for Mangala the year before. Still Im happy he is here but that does not mean, not aimed at you, its not right transfer fees and negotiations cannot be discussed.

There is still value in the market to be had I just think that City sometimes set their sights on a player and seem prepared to pay substantial sums regardless and that has set a precedent for future transfers even though we rarely get the signings in early. It makes you question the point of the negotiations if clubs know we will pay anyway.

Some great pace shown from City's defenders there when you consider how quick he is.

Wonder how Demichelis would have got on.

 

[Neville Kneville]

Would anyone pay 44 mil for him now???

If he was still at Liverpool ?

It would be 60 now.

I'd rather we just never made the 'take it or leave it' offer to Liverpool last summer if we didn't have the bottle to actually walk away when they rejected it.

It's precedents like that which come back to haunt you. Exactly what we're going through with Stones now as well apparently.

You've got to show you're prepared to walk away when selling clubs take the piss otherwise you'll get the piss taken out of you every time you buy.

Pogba?

Pogba?

I thought we were prepared to pay the fee for Pogba but not all the other fees like the fee for Raiola and his image rights etc.

Saw some lose touches there that carried on into hisgame last season. Has to get better with that. Especially now that he is likely to start seeing more park the bus defenses.

Something along those lines.....we wasn't going to have our pants pulled down....over to the geriatricos!!

Looks like it'll be tomorrow morning then
