Mad how west ham could get nearly 20 million for rice and paquetta and we cant seem to get 50 for cancelo & laporte

Mad indeed…

Phillips, Cancelo and Maatee (loan)

As much as I would like them to take Cancelo from us. They can’t afford his wages.

20 million punts?

I'm intrigued to understand how City could value KP so highly. Do we expect every player we buy for millions of pounds to have certain basic skills that can be honed or has the formula for target selection simply misfired?

My honest opinion: Pep has so much admiration for Bielsa, and when Bielsa singled out KP as a special talent, it was enough to get the deal done.

No One can, hopefully he will go to Saudi, otherwise we will be paying most of his wages and loaning him out.

I wonder if he's become unexpectedly available, similar to Dias or Akanji in years past. Seems like a similar "out of nowhere" target where all of a sudden concrete links pop up, I'd guess Pep, Txiki, & co were admirers and caught word he could be had

He’d never registered with me as being more than a midtable Prem player until we played West Ham at home where I thought he looked like their best player by a country mile. His first touch, skill, passing etc. were of a very high standard when I saw him in the flesh.

Lads probably forgotten how to keep it moving playing with Soucek and Zouma

I think its probably due to the players not wanting certain clubs and also teams that can afford their salary, Maguire must be taking a fair old wage cut to go to west ham.

But on the face of it it's crazy how few links to our players are.

I think thats highly likely mate, Tolm did mention we had been offered him so maybe the agent had spoken to us in the past and its an opportunity to get him now? Seems Pep and Txiki really rate him
