Come on, Pep has been here 7 years you know the drillIt sounds like Pep is happy with Josh W-e continuing if he stays free from injury. In his post match interview he says he can be a player for City for many years to come. With Cancelo at left back, Josh his understudy and Ake & Laporte as cover we don't need Cucurella. Well maybe at 30 odd million & add ons but not 50.
And then there's been players with proper hair, like Danny Mills.Well he’s sure as shit got silly hair
3 previous FBs with vast international experience….and btw got ripped off for at least 2 of them (the Cancelo deal was pretty good considering what Juve paid us for Danilo).We have been ripped plenty of times well before the present ownership, a player is valued by his present club, either pay or move along, but 50m in this market and for a club that has paid 50m plus for 3 previous FB, is not unreasonable.
The others were all more established than Cucurella, hence why I don’t think we intend paying £50mil. I reckon it’ll get done this week for about £40/42mil with around £5mil in add ons.We have been ripped plenty of times well before the present ownership, a player is valued by his present club, either pay or move along, but 50m in this market and for a club that has paid 50m plus for 3 previous FB, is not unreasonable.
We paid 100m for Grealish, so we have previous, pay that sort of money and you have little argument in negotiations in the future.3 previous FBs with vast international experience….and btw got ripped off for at least 2 of them (the Cancelo deal was pretty good considering what Juve paid us for Danilo).
We no longer need to overpay just because we have deep pockets.
You talk about entertainment….we are entitled to pay what is fair for a playier in my opinion.
Over 50m for a player with 1 premiership season and 2 international appearances is unrealistic in my and obviously Txiki’s eyes given our opening gambit.
Most older blues who followed us through the bad times are(generally) not entitled, It's impossible to forget where we were and and the stark difference to where we are now. Like polar opposites. It's the gloryhunters and JCLs who are (generally) entitled. Im basing this on going to games and talking to fans at the game and in pubs around the greater Manchester area. Bluemoon does not represent the whole of our fanbase to form an 'entitled' opinion on This platform. BM is more a representation of many posters who have never been to Manchester. And I'm not having a dig at them btw, just saying.We sadly have a percentage of our fan base that's becoming very entitled, sad to see and not worth of this great club.
Totally agree but a lot of our fans are becoming entitled and it is rising.Most older blues who followed us through the bad times are(generally) not entitled, It's impossible to forget where we were and and the difference to where we are now.

Time will tell, I still think the deal will be done, otherwise we would have moved on, we want a player that a club does not want or need to sell, so the player leaves on their terms, that just fact.3 previous FBs with vast international experience….and btw got ripped off for at least 2 of them (the Cancelo deal was pretty good considering what Juve paid us for Danilo).
