I've always felt he was pretty average. Not exactly a signing that fills me with fear.
Don't think we will sign a better striker than him, so we will almost definitely be behind in that department if Arsenal get him.
 
This doesn’t make any sense. It still means he can only join Cit at 18, playing for a different club and still having to wait means little
Playing for one of the CFG clubs will mean that City can transfer him more easily into their club instead of having to compete against other teams or potentially overpay in order to buy him.
 

Agreement with the club and Adeyemi are there, the signature not yet. However, the fee is significantly lower than previously rumored: 30+6 [milion Euros] is the Adeyemi formula for Dortmund. Completion probably next week

Ten Hag on why he chose to leave now:
This is already a bonus year. Things were already happening last summer, but I wanted to be successful with Ajax one more time and spend the winter in the Champions League. Because when I was appointed I had said that Ajax had to become ‘Europe proof’. That worked. But, we’re not done yet.

On if he can deal with the star players ("the Ronaldos of this world"):
I think so, but I will remain myself in that too. I will not change my view on coaching. The material always determines how you play, but I indicate the requirements that come with it and the standards. I tell who has what task and who does not meet it, will be told that, regardless of who it is. I make no concessions in that regard.

On his requirement of having a major say in the transfers:
Yes. I set requirements in advance about how I want to work. If they aren’t granted, I won’t. I am ultimately responsible and accounted for the results. I don’t want to be the sole ruler, I stand for cooperation, but control in transfers is a condition for me.

Yeah but why would the player accept that? Wouldn’t he just stay where he is and move at 18?

Because he'll be paid more and if he keeps progressing as expected he'll move to City. If he gets an injury or fails to develop he's made more money than he would have done. There aren't many negatives for him really.

A club City essentially owns, it quite obviously makes a difference.
 
Does the board just volunteer information on a regular basis because I don't understand how so much information is being reported when you would have thought that it was private and confidential stuff.
Or, and this might come as a bit of a shock I know, they're just making up alot of the stuff they report.....
 



Exclusive: Andreas may return to Manchester United next season.

Of course, it is normal for players to return to their parent club at the end of loans, but there has been a signal given by Murtough that Andreas may be part of the project. There has been no contact with ten Hag yet, but the two know each other from their PSV days.

Erik ten Hag was PSV's assistant manager back when Andreas Pereira was in the club.
 




In football, you’re not always on the bright side. Right now, we’re on the other side. As I said earlier, the good thing is that it’s crystal clear it’s not that difficult. You don’t even need glasses to see and analyse where the problems are. Now it’s only about how do we solve them?

For me it’s not enough to do some minor amendments, some little issues here and there and little cosmetic things. In medicine, you would say that this is an operation of the open heart. There are more things to be changed than some little things here and some minor things there but this is the good thing. For me, if this happens and everyone has realised that this has to happen and if people want to work together, then it makes sense and I still believe it doesn’t take two or three years to change those things. This can happen within one year. Other clubs not too far away from here have shown that it doesn’t take two, three or four years, it’s possible within one, two or maybe three transfer windows.

Is strong leadership needed? For sure. This is also something that not just one single person as a manager can do. With all respect to Jurgen and Pep I’m sure that they didn’t do all the things themselves. There were also other people involved in those two clubs, people in certain positions no matter what area it was in order to rebuild and build something that we want to build here.

For me, this is the most vital part that the club manages to get in the best possible players, the attitude and the energy and for me, it’s a question for me of energy. We need positive energy for the new team and this is also important for the new manager. We spoke about other clubs in a similar position as United five or six years ago, so if the right lessons are being learned from what has happened this season this could be one of the good things from what we’re going through right now.

But he can’t actually go to Manchester is my point. What benefit is it to the player unless he really wants to go to City anyway? Then it’s essentially a non factor.
He still sets foot in a British club at 18 no matter how this works.
 


Been poor as a manger, but labels of the worst manager ever are madness when he hasnt been able to buy a single player. I sincerely hope that he stays as an adivsor and that his input is really listened to.

Forget Ragnick the manager and more think of Ragnick the interviewee. Everything he has said is pre and post match interviews and press conferences has been straight up, honest, intelligent, insightful. I love what he says here and agree totaly, major changes need to happen and it doesnt take five years to rebuild a club at all if it is done properly, not even at the state we are in.

One thing we will never know but does intigue me....WOuld love to see what he would have done with almost total control over outs and ins this summer with a £200m budget as he would have had a far more successful second season as a manger purely from working with his own players

I read the article on the beeb, and hes pretty much laid out what most on the caf have been saying all season. For him to say that from his position within the club is brave and I just hope the club takes it on board.
 
Rangnick on his future (from the rest of the press conference):



We'd be idiots to not keep him around. Seems ready made for a DoF kinda role if Murtough didn't already occupy it.

It benefits City as they garauntee to get him at 18 obviously. Where as United cannot tie him down now, City effectively can

Yes brave and bold. Its also a little bit of a concern some of what he said about not abot a contract but being listened too.

I think there is an element of *I know what I feel about this squad and structure, if I am not listened too or playing a role it is pointless me reamining here" so he has already showed his hand and feelings and the reaction to this may make up his decision.

I think he could be excellent in the proposed role, if his comments dotn go down well and he leaves....it makes the whole appointment a wasted employment thogh

But what I’m saying is why would the player agree to it? I can see it from Citys side but joining a German side because he can walk straight into their world class youth set ups still applies. If he’s willing to wait for City then he’d probably stay where he is instead of going to a lowly City feeder club and wasting two years of development.
it just seems as if the journalist randomly threw it in because technically it’s correct.

Garaunteed contract at 18 with City now. A lot of things can happen in 2 years

If he wants to go to City as soon as possible, then his best route would be to go to a CFG team first. If he wanted to spend a few more years developing himself, then he can choose to go to a non-CFG team. With the new loan regulations coming out starting next season, don't be surprised if City start selling more of their young players to their other CFG clubs or those clubs starting to buy more players themselves.
 
More info on Rüdiger's situation:

  • Signing-on fee: £10M
    • Requested agent fee around that amount
  • Rüdiger's reps have spoken to the following clubs:
    • Real Madrid
    • Barcelona
    • Juventus
    • PSG
  • United are also interested, but Rüdiger can't negotiate with other PL clubs at this time.
