[Claytop]

Honestly never seen this guy play once, any good?

You actually think Puma have stopped City signing any players until July 1st? ĹOL

No the opposite and there are some on here who do not me.

It will be more about players coming back from their holidays for the start of pre-season, rather than the kit, but that will certainly play into it if we're talking about a matter of days.

So does his release clause kick in on Monday?

Not even that, we can't pay his release clause until the1st I happens to coincide with the new kit contract . If we can optimise that great, if not no big deal.

The kit deal isn't holding anything up. Rodri's release clause activates on July 1 and we'll pay it shortly after, there's not much mystery behind this one. In a case like Angelino, where we're exercising our buyback in a relatively low stakes transfer? Sure, maybe hold off the extra week to put him in the Puma kit, but if there was something time sensitive theres no way which brand shirt they wear in the photoshoot would have any impact on football operations.

Shite. Two left feet and a wonky eye. Got ourselves a gem.

Yep, generally speaking, release clauses kick in on 1st July. Usually as it ties in with a football club’s financial year starting.

i fully expect us to start our transfer business this week it has got to Khaldoon whilst at Friday prayer that there is a storm brewing on BLUEMOON Because we have yet to sign someone ffs its nearly the first week of Wimbledon and the cheque book is dry Time for Txiki Bugger to earn his corn and sort out Peps shopping list and departures

Looks very promising now :

Negotiations for the deal have continued to drag out as Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain were also interested in the 22-year-old but City are favourites to land there man.

Atleti have dropped a massive clue that the midfielder could soon be on his way by giving his squad number away.


However, at their unveiling of new signing Marcos Llorente from Real Madrid it was revealed that he would be wearing Rodri's No.14 next season instead.

Rodri wore the No.14 for Los Colchoneros last season, a number that held personal significance as it was also worn by manager Diego Simeone.

Rodri said on the number upon signing for the club last summer: "It is a very important number for this club, the values of Simeone as coach and now manager - courage, battling qualities."

He's OK not as cultured a foot as Phil Jones but we couldn't get him so we have to go for what we can get.

Absolute nonsense if anyone believes that.

Nobody has actually said that though to be fair. Its called a strawman argument (and its not even a smart strawman).

Except for the reports that say we are paying above the release clause to pay over multiple years...meaning we can announce it now if true.

We’re possibly not paying more than the release clause, just a thought.

Well thats a fucking blow !!

 

[Neville Kneville]

Very well may do mate. They usually have the entire thing planned out well in advance hence when there’s an announcement, there’s the interview, photo shoot etc all released together. it’s rarely just announced when the contracts are signed unless it’s deadline day. I don’t claim to know when it will be people are paid a lot of money to figure that out I just know the one day it makes no sense to do it is kit launch day.

No, but it makes sense, imo to wait.

No, but it makes sense, imo to wait.

As we couldn't sign him until the 1 st anyway, he was always going to be in the new kit, whether it’ll be on the day or just after no idea, the only one they might hold back on for the new kit is Angelino sounds like that could be done but not announced.

If he only had a brain.

 

[Stoned Rose]

This will get done and announced next week imo.

did you see the whole "if true" thing in my post, just a thought.
