TBH with you, I don't even remember what was the price we paid for Memphis. :lol:

We paid 25m+ pound (included addon) for Memphis. BBC reported it something like 32m pound(supposed to be euro) and never bothered fixing it.

BBC might be the most trustworthy source in England but when it comes to real figure they're just clueless as others.

Oh, the confusion between how to differentiate between writing Pound and Euro then ? :lol:

Buying loads of players isn't some sign of genius, it's a sign of awful planning to need to do so much surgery in one go.

Thanks for this post. On point.

People are missing the positives about our situation. We are keeping the team intact while gradually adding relevant additions. We were difficult to beat last season. Next season will be the same plus, we'll be banging in more goals.

Even in euro it was still bloody wrong :lol:.

Real number might be less than 20m pound because whatever addons that were, we didn't have to pay it after his pisspoor performance at Old Trafford.

So the safe option is to never trust anyone ? :D
 
Seeing all these transfers fee now where every Tom, Dick and Harry cost at least 50 millions, I for once am happy that Sir Alex is not our manager anymore. Otherwise, he will not sign anyone because"there is no value in the market"!!!!

Why are these type of players already not at the club with scouting itself. Why do they always land in tottenham. Carrick modric . I hate going to spurs to buy players.

I largely agree but we have tried with the likes of Martial, Depay, Zaha etc but they dont always work out.
 
Complete and utter bullshit clickbait rumour in the Sunday mirror saying that we're looking at a £60 million bid for Verratti but PSG want Martial in return. If there was even the slightest hint of truth in that rumour, I'd be thinking long and hard about a deal like that. Genuinely would be torn.

Wouldn't even have to think about it. Martial's feet wouldn't even touch the ground on the way out the door.

What was the tweet?

It was speculation about Neymar, but since his was father was seen meeting the Barca management in NY people are waiting to hear the results to give further opinion.

Okay thank you.

Like spurs will accept 40 m. He'd want 60 - 65. Wil it be better than?

Certainly it would. At the end of a 4 or 5 year contract Matic will be worth nothing, in fact long before then he'll be one of those highly paid players that we don't use anymore but are struggling to offload. If there were any suggestion that Spurs would sell Dier for £65 million then paying anywhere near £50m for Matic instead would be lunacy of the highest order!

This is a very good signingg from City at a relative decent price. At worst he will be a decent RB backup, at best he can turn out to be better than Walker. He was higher rated at Porto than Alex Sandro, talent is still there, he needs to play though.

What a boring weekend for tweets ! Considering that most clubs and players are in pre-season I thought we would be in overdrive by now.

It is not a summer for muppets, even the linked targets are not giving me much. Since the Atletico ban, the whole thing went downhill

City not messing around.

Just paying what they need. Woody could learn something.

City have almost unlimited funds for obvious reasons. We are wealthy but it is all self generated and if we start allowing ourselves to pay £50m for the average player we'll soon end up overspending and what wealth we have won't stretch as far. We will have limited resources for reinvestment in infrastructure which will hurt our long term competitiveness.
