Si Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 The way people are reacting, you'd think he's Andy Carroll. He's arguably the world's best 20-year-old, even if he needs to vastly improve his finishing. The fee isn't THAT minging, £35-40m would be about right.

Foluwashola Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Obviously the money means nowt to these types, but that is a fucking scandalous amount Hope he's an utter letdown. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Village Idiot Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 It's a ludicrous amount; but you have to take into account that you have former Barça people running City nowadays. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

brummie Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 I genuinely wonder whether City actually think he's worth that kind of money or if they're engaged in some sort of cock-waving exercise whereby they just have to prove that they CAN buy a player if they decide to.

Mole_Toonfan Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Ignoring the money for a second, i think some how forgotten how good he was alongside Suarez. Wouldn't surprise me if he performs similar with Aguero tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dinotheprehistoricgeordie Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 He wanted out of the club and they still got £49 million for him. Liverpool will be skipping to the bank, what a deal. So over rated. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Village Idiot Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Liverpool linked with a move for Madrid's Tcheryshev as a replacement, which wouldn't be too bad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Village Idiot Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Apparently QPR get a 20% slice of the £49m, which will help with their fine. Wouldn't surprise me if they agreed to sell him for 40m and then added QPR's share on top. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdckelly Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 not getting the outrage at the deal personally, sure its probably 10m too much but he still is a very good player who will get better and fills a home grown slot which city need badly and could conceivably play for them for the next 10 years plus.
