Mole_Toonfan Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 Phew, I was worried City wouldn't have any real options at fullback. Tbf they haven't which is why they're spunking ridiculous amounts on them. I'd understand spunking ridiculous amounts on two starter level fullbacks but 3? Even the likes of Barca, Madrid and Bayern don't spend 30m on a backup fullback. Walker and Mendy are understandable because of their needs, but Danilo? Nah.

TRon Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 Losing out on Lukaku might turn out to be a blessing in disguise for Chelsea. I have a feeling Morata might have a better season anyway because there'll be less expectation on his shoulders and he's got the right attributes to do well here. I'm still not sure how Lukaku will handle being a Man U player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mole_Toonfan Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 I will never understand this "do the right thing " and "let him go" stuff, these players are paid to be professional footballers and are contracted to do so. If a player doesn't like it perhaps he should have negotiated a buyout or not signed the contract to begin with. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

samptime29 Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 FFS state of City's transfers this summer. I do like Silva, he's a very good signing IMO, but the 3 fullbacks and keeper - they've way overpaid for those players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 It's not really about the money IMO, it's more that they have bought 3 fullbacks for two positions and all of them should expect to start. Seems utterly pointless, Silva and the GK are fine but i really don't understand the mindset in buying 3 high profile fullbacks. Like i said not even the likes of Madrid, Barca and Bayern do that.

Optimistic Nut Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 Those clubs don't have three full-backs out of contract at the same time, and have a fourth wanting to leave for first-team football. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Howaythetoon Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 Walker isn't worth £50m, but he's a very good all-round full-back with pace, power and stamina. A perfect player for Pep really. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiresias Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 'Elite' players these days are all about managing their own image etc, teams they are playing for etc are increasingly irrelevant. The marketing feels more important than achievements on the pitch. It's getting pretty sickening. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Neymar got X amount, I'm worth at least half that," remarked some good yet unremarkable player. Aye, the bar got raised initially when players like Bale went for close to 100m. I mean Bale is obviously class but it raises the perceived market value of everyone. It's just a vicious, yet endless circle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
