He’s worth more than £80-90m to us imo. Could only see us selling for stupid money which would be impossible to turn down in our FFP situation. The prem tax is serious these days.

 

edit: but I agree with the sentiment of your post completely.

Agreed - though that doesn’t preclude a sale

 

If someone is willing to pay 140m for him, fine. No player is worth that and intelligent football people could use that to advance the squad.

I'd be tempted to give that to City for Haaland.

But, you know, Pep thinks he's good so we should really just start turning our backs on him now so it hurts less when he leaves in June. It's the only sensible course of action.

I'd be be amazed if he went to City like. Real I fear.

 

They pay at least 3 times what we do, win trophies and are currently in all of the top competitions. Why would you be that amazed? Genuine question - my apologies if it sounds arsey

It doesn't sound arsey. I probably sound arsey all the time, when I don't mean to.

 

Well practically City are under an investigation for violating FFP. Not only are they potentially looking at points deductions, transfer bans, etc, they're probably going to have to reign in their spending a touch. Spending circa £100 million on Bruno, while under investigation wouldn't be their smartest move.

 

You then look at the bloke. He moved to our club when there was a real possibility we could go down. Him and his family love the area and he's spoken on many occasions about us being a work in progress. Now I'm not naive enough to think he'll never leave, but I think it would take a special club to do that. City might be the dominant force in England right now, but having visited the Etihad the whole thing does feel a touch soulless. Comparatively Real are the biggest and most successful club in world football.

Well deserved. For me, he's undoubtedly our most important & best player - someone we can't replace, who regularly does the work of 2 midfielders, and holds a lot of what we do going forward & back even on off days. 

 

Agreed

Joking aside it does sound like Pep has been tapping him up.

In a 'just wanted to say how excellent I think you are, have you met my daughter' sort of a way, I'm sure he has. It just goes with the turf of having players that are actually desirable, though. I appreciate that after 14 years of Mike Ashley this is a bit of an alien experience for many of us however :lol:

"What makes me happy is knowing that this is just the first year. We have the potential to be a giant in the world.

 

I’m happy and proud to be part of the revolution of the team, of the city, of everyone, because the city is about football. I can feel it since I signed for the club. This is very special for me. I think I got the decision right to be here.

 

Yeah, of course. It’s too quick, but I think we have the players to do it,” Guimaraes said of Newcastle’s swift progress. “We have a good manager. I’m sure that in the future he will be the England manager, because he’s an amazing guy, an amazing manager.

 

To be honest, this (the pace of progress), surprises me a little, but I’m so happy to be part of this. What made me happy is to know it’s just the first year. This club will be in the Champions League every year in the future.”

 

Sounds like a man who's sick of soft touch Eddie and will leave as soon as we can't mathematically qualify for 4th.
