The club had better get their finger out and offer him a canny deal. Big opportunity for the club to show their intentions.
Well they only managed 100+ goals last season without a recognised No 9, so City fans can sit back and salivate for next sesaon. Wouldn't swap him for the LND mind
Got a bit of a bargain there didn't they? I'd have estimated he'd be worth at least 100 mil. Absolutely immense player already and only going to get better.
They'll recoup the majority, if not all of it, when they sell him to Real or Barca in 6-7 years. Mind you I think I read that Raiola's company got about £50m for sorting this deal out. Ridiculous really considering there was a minimum fee release clause (so nothing to negotiate other than wages).
This for me Have to smile when poster say "he hasn't had enough game time", well just how does he get game time on the bench. I believe he has earned his chance.
When Roy brought Craig Gordon in, that quote from Cloughy came to mind. Basically get the best keeper you can afford and you’ll get a good chunk of points already.
Be nice if we could get a couple across the line early doors. We always seem to leave things to the last minute - and that may be because we were shopping in a different aisle to the rest of L1 - so it'd be good to have a few through the door when pre-season starts
