This. We spent 100m on grealish last season and in peps own words we justified this from the sales of outgoing players that summer. Seems we have tried to bargain too hard (regardless of our valuation) and been gazumped.We don’t know the ins and outs but we got Haaland and Phillips for under market value so if we go slightly over with the final piece in our jigsaw, what’s the harm

I know people like applauding the "take it or leave it" approach we seem to take, and it's worked for us in the past. But could it leave us in a position where players are less likely to push for moves here in future, if they see how often we've walked away from deals with players who were desperate to join us before?
There'll be that expectation that they could be left high and dry if they do and it doesn’t work out, Kane a good example. Albeit I'm very glad we did there.
We're not going to have the Pep pull forever so we need to be mindful of how these things will be viewed by future players we target too.
Regardless of that, I still can't believe Zinchenko was allowed to leave prior to serious movement on this transfer. Baffling.

Addressed this before. Fee obsessed Brighton fans.How could he have gone to city if you would not pay the fee. Are you expecting him to pay the difference.
I bet he wouldn't be keen on Riyad pastaPlan B. is there a release clause on Luke shaw‘s contract ?

They either don’t rate Chilwell or his Injury is more serious than thought? Why blow another £50m on a lb when they have bigger issues in other positions.
Yep didn't Mendy have that same injury and he was a shadow of his former self (in more ways than one).

Yes. Committed for 1 day is not the type of player we want at the club.He was commited to you, he asked forva transfer, many on hear said he neededto do that, then alot said that shows he wants us. If its true that his agent pushed the transfer request due to having assurences from city that they will sign him, then city have let him down. Whats he supposed to do say sorry Chelsea but i wont sign for you because i still want a move to city.
