Who’s gone in the summer?

The three players who want to leave can all go with our very best wishes. They've all been great for us and ideally, I'd like them all to stay but if they want to go then we shouldn't stand in their way.

However, they've picked a fine time to tell us they want to go. Other than in England, there's no money anywhere. Surely their agents should've mentioned that to them!

I would want £60m for Bernardo, £50m for Jesus and £70m for Laporte. I don't see anyone offering them fees, so it's swapsie time.

Agree with those prices.

But Txiki will not be able to get close to those. Will be more like 40-40-40 and we are lucky if its in GBP not euros.

At work Arsenal fan mates were discussing why they dont go for Bernardo, Arteta knows him etc, and would cost them much less (!) and thats when I spit my coffee in anger, he would cost much less than Maddison from Leicester.
I wasnt able to tell them they are wrong on the fee side of it:(, apart from he wants to fuck this country off probably for Spain not for London lol.

shows the state of this that if we wanted to go get Maddison after we sell Bernardo for 40-45 we would be charged 70-80m for a worse player. and we will struggle to find buyer for Bernardo imo as no offers came forward since May despite I am sure Jorge Mendes is looking for options...

My gut tells me that Laporte lacks a strong character. Anyone who runs away from his home nation simply because he failed to impress in training or whatever, needs to be carefully watched. He appears to be the sort of player who might easily sign for a Premier League rival without any feelings of regret. Hopefully I am wide of the mark as anybody capable of replacing him would cost City a fortune.

All 3 players are worth £70 mill minimum

Anything less would be a pisstake

Every club takes the piss on selling to us yet we have to give away players at shit prices

We are the best team in England and have been for years yet clubs lowball us for players who have been pivotal to our success all three are world class talents but we are expected to give them away

It fucking stinks and pisses me off

Yeah not a chance we sell any of those players for less that we bought them. If no good offer arrives, then they stay, very simple.

Its not exactly sustainable to sell some of your best players for cheap just because they want out and pay premium on every single signing we make.

At the end of the day, owners are here to run sustainable and serious business. Not charity for players and other clubs.

EDIT- also good point about "expected to giveaway" hell some posters on here would happily give them away just because they want out. Christ. So no wonder other clubs try to take the piss too!
 
Yes we need to set example otherwise any player in future can play this trick and end up like leaving for 40-50% less than market value. Cynic in me would tell me player can agree with buyer club, "make sure on the buy price we can fuck City by getting a 70m player for 40m", "get you on the cheap" and you and your agent will be well rewarded for it...
 
Not sure how long Bernis contract is. We have to avoid him running it down and going on a free like Milner did. What is true though is the longer we wait the cheaper he will become.
What do we value him at now considering we paid £63 mill?
£75 mill? More, or less?
