its probably what's holding the cucurella deal up. chelsea seem pretty keen on one being in there, if we're desperate for him then we may be willing to compromise. personally i could live with one if we were more than doubling our money
just like the cucurella transfer fee, the amount of the buyback clause has now gone up apparently
1554955727831187456
wouldn't be surprised if it's gone up again by another few million this time tomorrow
if signing colwill was one of our prerequisites for doing the cucu deal with chelsea then it must surely be done now if they're bidding for fofana

supposedly one of our main options for a new left wing back

so it looks like we could be replacing cucurella with an ex-city player...

well they've signed someone who can play in the left centre back role, so he's probably leaving, and there's been a couple of rumours that his preference would be to come here anyway. definitely one to keep an eye on
so if he genuinely is unhappy and is throwing his toys out the pram? then what? the club would probably be willing to accept some sort of discount somewhere if it meant moving on someone who was really unhappy and possibly becoming a bad influence on the rest of the team. this is of course all...
hard not to see how cucu doesn't end up at city now for nearish £40M. people keep bringing up the dale stephens situation, but that's totally different as the offer came right at the end of the window and we had no way of replacing him. if he has handed in a transfer request then firstly that's...
how are they getting the highlights then? Find it very hard to believe in a premier league stadium that they can manage to film a game but can't sort out a live stream. It's obviously just not one of the priorities, rightly or wrongly
I'm not disagreeing that there's competition. I'm just saying that it's the same as last season only we've lost biss and maybe moder. kozlowski could potentially mitigate that, or he could be loaned, up to how the club see it, but once again the alleged discussions with grillitsch make me think...
wasn't there some sort of story that he was suffering from illness or the effects of for a lot of las season? long covid perhaps?
agree it's make or break this time round though
well we're now effectively down one player, caicedo cancels out the moder injury but biss is gone now. and lallana will probably play a lot less as he starts that transition towards to the coaching role from next season. and the fact that we appear to have been very interested in grillitsch...
