last year cancelo was the best LB in the league and perhaps in europe...we should only pay £50+mill if cancelo would be playing as a RW (like he did partially at Valencia/Serie A)...cancelo/zinny and walker/kabore is good enough...

Have you seen Kabore play even once?

Let's be honest, it'll be annoying if we don't get him this season, end up signing another left back who isn't as good, and he goes to one of our main rivals next season for £50mill and stays there for good.

At the end of the day we should pay what he's worth instead of spending less on another make do left back who isn't as good. For the sake of £5mill-£10mill which we can afford after selling Jesus and Sterling, we might as well bite the bullet, pay what Brighton want, and sign him. He could be one of the differences to winning the CL and making an that extra £10mill back in the process.

Rodri and Dias smile knowingly as Fred and Koulibaly mutter something under their breath

That is my expectation as well.
Brighton accepted less for a home grown lad who got in the England squad and half that for Bissouma.
They are a selling club. Part of the reason players agree to go there in the first place is on the understanding they will be allowed to leave for the right price. Cucurella will have been sold that very possibility when he signed

Might be wrong but I think he only had a year left

I've zero time for Brighton, Potter and Brighton Fans after that game. We had the league already won at that point and I was livid after that game. They kicked fuck out of us for the night, The ref let them kick fuck out of us, They celebrated like they had won the title and Potter ran over to our bench and celebrated on front of Pep and the staff.

Fuck Brighton.

Brighton are alright, club and fans alike. That game was hyped by having a crowd back in the stadium after covid. More typical of Brighton fans was how they rose to applaud Kompany when he was subbed off near the end of the 4-1 win that gave City the title. And a lot of them stayed to watch City lift the trophy.

Yep. Thats why that entire game was so weirdly out of character for fans, players and manager alike. They all turned into absolute cunts that night which is not normally like them at all. Probably just post-covid madness
 
TBF to Brighton, when City won the PL title there they let the City fans outside the ground in for free to see the post match celebrations. They didn’t have to do that. And from what I remember, bar a few angry gestures from Brighton fans, the sprinkling of City fans in the home ends where left alone to celebrate the goals. Apart from that, it’s a pain to get to, but once you get there it’s a good scoop day out before the match.

why do people here love arguing against something that was not said? That was not even what we argued about. No one here argued "Last season was bad" or "Last season's decision to not bring a striker was bad" - it's arguing that negotiations don't always pan out and sometimes its better to move to #2 on the list, that's it. It's also fine to stay with #1 and wait it out, both options are fine. this is such a common theme on this forum, people take offense to any comment and start inventing arguments that were not said.

I`ve not taken "any offense".
I`m merely pointing out that sometimes its not always about moving on to another player and we have to thank both Pep & Txiki for not flapping and waiting for another season to see what else would be available.
Thankfully we saved ourselves a monumental amount of cash thanks to My Levys stubborness, something we should all be grateful for.
You got hold of the wrong end of the stick.

It’s a great place to spend a weekend full stop tbf, football or not, had many happy times in Brighton. Clubs, shops in the lanes, calling Chris Eubank a wanker in his big truck. Good times
As I said earlier, no need for any animosity whatsoever. The clubs get on very well, for example.
Just one team might buy a player from another team. Has been going on for a century, no biggie
If not, we move on. Meh
Media trying to make a big deal cos it’s City.
Don’t recall this energy and level of whipping up hostility when Ben White was off to Arsenal?
Bissouma joined Spurs almost without anybody realising.
But as soon as City show an interest in a BHAFC player it’s “bad for football”
We all know why as well. As far as the media are concerned, White money good, brown money bad

He was absolutely spectacular in AFCON, won young player of the tournament award.
Though granted the standard was pretty poor. In fact I’d say the worst AFCON I’ve ever watched.
But he also helped Troyes stay up in France with probably the lowest budget in the division.
Kid is very good. A City player? Not entirely sure but he is certainly now way above the likes of Yan Couto, who is talented but so so lightweight.
Kabore has a big frame and is only growing into it
Forest are desperate to get him on loan. Cooper knows a good young player when he sees one.
Look what he did with the lad Spence who Boro had written off.
Meanwhile, CJ Egan-Riley has been released by City to Burnley. Things might just be falling Kabore’s way
Luck, timing and opportunity can play a huge part

I mean, their stewards and coppers were absolutely pissing their sides behind the hands covering their mouths this day.
Fair fucks. Give them the extra £10million just for this alone.

 
I think he is too suited for this side to not get him. Cleary very intelligent overall play and great work rate.

I doubt we will leave this deal unless Brighton's evaluation is stupidly high like over 55-60m.

I see us doing it for 50m, while it's funny to do another 50m-ish fullback signing, he would be worth it, would definitely free up Foden or Grealish on that left side alot more.
 
If he is the one then pay them what they want but try and get at least 5/10 m of it in add ons. That way both clubs can sell it as a win and everyone is happy ish
 
We are bring in buckets of cash this window and Brighton know it.. we are hardly in a strong position so we will just have to pay up if we want him..
