Transfer rumours

[Dubciteh]

The beeb gossip now reporting the Atletic reporting Savio as a done deal. Why not just cut out the middle man and report it "as seen on mancityfans?"
This football gossip is a piece of piss for these "journos"

Seen a lot of praise for this lad, and that's all great. But is he what we really need? Were already well covered on the flanks.
We absolutely need to sign a midfielder who is good enough to help Rodri. It seems quiet on that front, maybe there are waiting until the Euros are over. But I do hope there is a plan. If not it will be a disaster of a window.

I agree with this. We currently have bernardo and bobb wide right and jack n doku wide left with other options if stuck. I just dont see the need for this one when we have massive hole in centre midfield and imo left back. Now if one of those four were to leave this would make sense, however savio is 20, Bobb is 20 they are very young for us to be relying on them, doku not much older too.

Id be breaking the bank for a midfielder like Ruiz(i suspect we wont get him) but someone of his ilk, can do a few different positions in the middle.

MUEN reporting we are closing in on £51m deal for Hernandes of AC Milan currently with France. Like what I've seen from him in the Euros so fat

Dont worry, we'll stick him on a diet . Dont know if this is true but he is a player i wanted years ago.

Gutted that looks like Big Ed is leaving.

I read that article, its based on AI predictions and has abs no substance to it, cant believe MEN would print it and the bbc pick up on it. FFS

Apparently we’ve told Ederson he can leave if he wants. Fuckin stupid stance - why spend all summer last year convincing Walker, having meals in Manchester with him but we won’t do that for players that are integral to how we play?!

[sheblue]

600k brick a week! Hard to blame him, he's won it all with us, nothing more to do.

What fee are we getting, knowing us probably 20m.

Has he not got enough money? He's on about £150k a week, if not more. 10 years with us and he’ll have earned nearly £100m. What the fuck is he spending £100m on?

He’ll retire back in that shite hole third world country and won’t need £100m

[blues2win]

Spot on Mase although Walker wasn’t offered 600k a week or anything like it. Ortega will be No1 so presumably we’ll be buying a Number 2.

Money talks , bullshit walks.

I also don't blame him , 600 K ( Tax free ) 31.2 Million Pounds a year tax free ?

He would be stupid to not go.

On one hand it's the sort of money that sets your family up for the next three generations

On the other, what price personal pride, loyalty, playing in the best league and still earning a phenomenal salary when all us said and done

As Mase posted, how much money is enough?

He has already played in the best league in the world and has won everything..he will have those trophies to show off for the rest of his life............... so now he is offered the chance to earn 31 million a year just to relax and fuck around for a while ?

I know what Id do and 99.9% of you would do exactly the same as him given half a chance.

[PeterParker]

Not worried if Ortega is number 1, but we need someone else who is top also because Stefan is not getting younger also.

Instead what worries me is this bollox we are not getting anyone unless players are leaving.

Ederson is only 30, he's got years yet. Why would anybody go there in their prime. End of their career last payday i could understand. Kev for instance but not a keeper who could play at the top for ages yet.

There's loads of big names who've turned down Saudi cash by the way. Modric, Messi, Kroos, Partey, De Maria, Lukaku, Son, Lewandowski. Henderson went there and never got paid and couldn't wait to leave.

Ederson is integral to the way we play, he's not the best keeper but he's definitely the best for us.

I wouldn't be turning that kind of dosh down and won't blame him if he doesn't. You're a long time dead. We should have succession planning in place for all the major players if not, more fool us

Spot on. As a keeper, he’s probably only just hitting his prime. If this was 5 years down the line, fair enough. But at 30 years old for a GK it’s a bit pathetic.

Might be that he thinks he won everything that is to win with us so he wants to leave?

[sheblue]

If Ed leaves are we looking at a slight adjustment to the way we play? That's up to you Pep.

Surely he’d want to keep winning that. He's had a taste of winning the CL, he’s not going to win that or anything in Saudi. 100% money
