De Bruyne.
Tbh I dont think we have set 30m as our top limit considering we sold zinny for 32m. I trust the ITK who said 37 + 12, which should be bang on their valuation. Although Fabrizio has just come out as well and said he can't see City paying 50mi really dont genuinely feel we thought we would get him for £30m

City have made a tough negotiation tougher by selling Zin first. Have to see what happens.
We need to make this happen or move on to someone else.
Can't spend a summer on negotiations only for it to go nowhere.
Cancelo's a right back who can do a job on the left. Ake and Laporte are centre backs who can do a job on the left.
They've all put in some decent performances there and I'm sure they'll continue to do so again if asked, but it's not the same as having an actual left back.

Reading the article this bit worries me
”With Chelsea unable to agree a fee to take Netherlands defender Ake back to Stamford Bridge earlier this month, sources have said that City will rely on Cancelo, Laporte and Ake at left-back should they be unable to sign Cucurella”
So we potentially would be ok with Walker and cancelo as our only full back options. Really hope that is bullshit
No way Pep would accept that for a whole season. They’ll sign a fullback, but Cucurella isn’t the only option. Major issues last season came from the lack of fullbacks. I just find it odd they let Zinny go with the club not even being close to a replacement

Same. You'd imagine this is false info or an obvious bluff because we've been selling squad players for anywhere between £32m-50m.
yeah whatever !!

City know excactly what they are doing and all the pieces of the puzzle will soon create the full picture.No way Pep would accept that for a whole season.

But Zinny isn’t a left back, he is at best a stand in left back. I think people are over reacting because he is such a brilliant bloke, but he can’t be described as a brilliant left back. I think his personality, adaptability and to some extent the second half against Villa, are clouding done judgements. He is an excellent midfielder player not a left backNo way Pep would accept that for a whole season. They’ll sign a fullback, but Cucurella isn’t the only option.

Ogden is a snide, shit-stirring rag ****. He wouldn't have the first fucking clue what City value him at.View attachment 50325from Ogdens actual article. Apparently City only value him at 30m. Well if the ITK is to be believed then that 49m bid will do it as brighton value him at 50m.
