Manchester City

Lads he's a class player, identical to David Silva not only in name but that money is ridiculous. Suppose it's all relative to the club buying him.... pocket change. Apparently mancs triggered Greizmann's 100m clause.

How the **** can you compete with that type of spending.

I still think there is value in the market if you buy clever and decisively. Spot the player and go in with the right fee as opposed to fannying about in negotiations before being gazzumped. We just need to get our business done early - if we want VVD and Keita then pay want they want and if the player doesn't want to come move on to choice no 2.

Silva was already a top player at Benfica before he joined Monaco and paid a decent fee for him at the time.

Basically saying Mendy for €45m also

Let's hope they turn into Nani and Anderson

This.

Important to keep in mind that we're also going to be hit for paying extra being a PL and CL side (hopefully).
This is the price for wanting to be a top side.

If Guardiola gets those 2 in what backing he is getting. Watch and learn FSG.

FFS tee, we want value, get with the programme.

Yes don't I just know it!

£43 Million the fee being quoted by the BBC

City need some players in after releasing about six already

[dom9]

I'm so out of touch I've never heard of the bloke.

All I know is that Monaco are quite good now. Never heard of him either.

Me neither.

I'm cool with that.

Pisses me off how other teams are constantly signing players as soon as the season ends while we wait till mid july to sign a southampton player.

It's called haggling the Liverpool way

[Fernandinho]

City need defenders more than anything. They can keep signing attackers as far as I am concerned.

Best to get your whinging in now - just in case we spend plenty and spend it well depriving people of the opportunity to whine they were already denied when we made top four.
