Manuel Akanji | City close to £15m agreement, 5 year contract

That €11M has to be gross because that's higher than any defender in our squad bad Stones.

Or someone is just making it up because they don’t actually know.

All our wages are reported in gross
€11m net would be Haaland/KDB money. Even €11m gross is literally unbelievable.

 

[bluenova]

Pretty much done.

That salary suggests he's not any kind of stop gap they're hoping to sell in a year or two. Nearly £10m a year prices him out of the reach of most clubs.

 

[MCFCFanTX]

Our "first" 4 CBs have had injury issues the past few seasons so this will be important cover. Plus, I believe we will play a lot more back 3 this season.

 

[Rammy Blue]

Unless Txiki has had a lobotomy, there's no chance those wages are correct. 180k a week would put him above Dias and Laporte FFS.

Yeah, I immediately thought that sounded like bollocks figures.

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

Non of us had heard of Ruben Duaz

Can't say I've heard of him to be fair.

 

[The Pandorica Opened]

I don't like the vibes of this one.

Feels like one of Ake or Laporte is out for longer than thought.

Most had heard of Diaz though

Heard his brothers decent

Wow this was out of the blue and not the position I thought we would adding to. Another body is welcome at this stage, all though outside of his name I know very little about him, he has been known to be kind of prone to mistakes I think but is still young.

Exciting either way, will check him out on thr old youtube lol
