Can almost crown Liverpool with the best signing of the window.

Every season they seem to make these incredible transfers. 

[Sima]

It’s the advantage of being an elite club.  Players get those clauses written in their contracts so they can join these clubs.

[Ikon]

Wirtz to City? I hope not! Sounds like Reijnders too probably. Piss off!

Frimpong to Liverpool for just under £30m.

He’s had a clause in his contract for the last couple of seasons I believe. Baldy going all in on the attacking full backs it would seem.

[alexf]

Frimpong always seemed tailor made for the prem. Never used to bother me the signings Liverpool or City made, but now that we are edging closer to both I am starting to grow frustrated when they do good business. 

[HalloNUFC]

If City goes through these deals it could mean many of their talented youngsters will be on the table.

 

Since the depth & lack of 2nd team is our main concern, we can poach likes of O'Rilley u know in competitive prices.

A part of me would like to see it happen. Rodrygo’s good but I’m not sure how good.  Typically he’s amazing for 6-weeks, then will score important goals but otherwise not be a consistent menace. 
 

I actually think he works better with Mbappe at LW than Vini and wouldn’t fetch of the money Vini would if he was sold. But Vini’s proven he can carry a side week in week out. Rodrygo hasn’t. 

Rodrygo is balance with output. Real Madrid selling him is a dumb move, because to get someone that selfishly works hard to offer balance whilst contributing his output will be hard to replace. Side will become unbalanced in attack like we’ve seen PSG over the years.

Froggy was comparing Hojlund to Isak a few months ago. Sad state of affairs.

If that's how you took it, then fair enough. I thought I explained it for the layman, but evidently not.

 

Hojlund is 3 years younger than Isak. How many goals did Isak score 3 years ago? 10. How many goals has Hojlund got this season when people believe he's been atrocious? 10.

 

It was simply a discussion on potential, and how Hojlund had time on his side.

Isak missed most of that season though.

His last season in La Liga. 2021-2022. Isak was 21/22 years old. 41 apps, 10 goals.

 

Please don't take this as me thinking Hojlund is or will be anywhere near as good as Isak.  I don't believe it for a second, but he has time on his side to become far, far better. That time is dwindling though.

The season before that though he had one of the highest scoring seasons for an under 21 in la Liga history. So...

He doesn’t work that hard and he’s not a RW.

He joined 24 other players who scored 17+ goals at 21 or under in La Liga.

 

Last season Hojlund joined 25 other players who scored 10+ at 21 or under in the Premier League, and that was his first season in the league and he missed 8 games due to injury.

Also, @healthyaddiction Isak played 8 games in Europe that season, scoring 0. Hojlund played 6 games in the Champions League and scored 5. So...

No bites = no fun.

Guardiola is a cheque book manager these days. At least Mourinho did it at Porto and Inter! Guardiola can only do it when everything is stacked in his favour.

 

Man City have had a relatively disappointing season, so they're going to buy their way out of trouble once again...having already spunked £200m in January. Sickening.

[Rich]

Feels like we’re going to be getting back to seeing a massive window league-wise with all the talk there’s been. Should be a canny summer.

Yeah I expect massive spending this summer. Seems like all of the big clubs need to invest to remain competitive.

 

Makes me think that prices will be pushed up as a result of this as they are all targeting the same profile

I reckon if we win the Europa League and manage to shift Rashford/Sancho etc. then we'll spend £200m+ 

 

On absolute shite probably.

FFP working exactly as planned. Those 115 charges aren’t really a deterrent are they? Whilst they got £100m back for Alvarez, Cancelo and Harwood-Bellis, this is pretty obscene.

Urgggh. Great player for a grubby club.

Why are we wanting City to get charged? Aren’t they one of our allies in terms of showing how ridiculous FFP is? If they get off scott-free then that opens up the door for our owners to inflate our commercial deals (should they want to) and go ape in the transfer market.
