He might not be ready for City but it's too harsh to label him bang average at best.
He wouldn't be a France U21 international if what you're saying was true.

He’s a very good example of how overpriced many PL players are. Came to the PL for 10m, hasn’t improved one tiny bit and suddnely he’s 45m. I’d rather bring back Delph

None - but we didn’t take the risk on them.

Other clubs did.

The risk of them failing doesn’t sit with us - it sits with Brighton and Wolves.

With respect, we’re not competing at the same level as those clubs anymore. We’re trying to win the League and the Champions League every season.

If we take a risk and it fails, we risk losing out on the biggest prizes football has to offer.

If Wolves or Brighton buy a dud, it’s not going to be the difference between winning a League title or finishing with nothing. It has an impact, sure - but it’s not the same.

It’s all about risk - it’s not complicated.

That’s why Mendes does what he does at Wolves - to bring players into the PL and de-risk them for the bigger clubs, selling on those that work for a much bigger fee.

Clubs like us reward others for taking the risks we can’t afford to by paying more than they did for the same players.

Brighton and Cucurella is a great example. He was a risk when they bought him - he isn’t now. So we’ll end up paying Brighton for taking the risk on him.

That’s how football has always worked.

This is no place for a well thought out reasoned response. Get out!!

Exactly. He’s literally just turned 21. Decent player for me. Bit too early for a big move but another year or two and he’ll be sold on to a big club if he continues developing….

I agree that the quoted price is ridiculous but I think he has improved his game, both defensively and offensively, at Wolves.

Problem is, clubs will realise we're desperate-ish to sign a LB, and the City Tax will kick in.

We are not going to get him for less than 50 mil.

Some european clubs won’t have this luxury. But, Buying from another pl team will be pain indeed.
