McDog Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 1 minute ago, r0cafella said: No Burnley's agreement with City related to accepting a matching bid. Burnley and city's agreement can't bind Trafford as the clause is between the two clubs. That is what I assumed. Only thing that makes sense. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattoon Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 Isn't it just as simple as Burnley have to accept an equal offer from City, therefore agreeing to both bids and then its up to Trafford what contract and team he chooses to go to as any other player would with multiple offers on the table, ergo Trafford chose City over us as you would expect most players to do?

Jewel Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 12 hours ago, Holloway said: if we make just the one signing in this window I'd love a quality left back. Because one thing is staring me in the face, Lewis Hall ain't staying in that position, he's too fucking good to be wasted there Yep. Seen it a number of times previously with the likes of Gareth Bale, Kimmich, Alaba etc. Players who started out as full-backs, but were far too good to stay in that position. I do wonder which position Hall will eventually end up in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Venkman Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 8 hours ago, Kid Icarus said: Antonio Mango has shared a lot of stuff for a while about how he knows Sven Botman's agent. He hasn't said explicitly why, but in his recent video about squad overhauling he said that the contract for him still hasn't been signed and that if it was his choice he'd cash in on him. who?

Whitley mag Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 I think Liverpool signing that young Brugges centre back we were linked with, shows how hard it is to even get the younger players with potential from abroad. It does show that it’s not just your Brighton’s and Brenford’s taking this approach though. There’s some real young talent abroad and the club needs to show under Wilson that we are going down this route to have any chance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd expect that on top everything else, City can offer far better wages as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeordieDazzler Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 I think Traffords decision was perfectly logical and the one most players in his position would choose. He just got fucked over by one of the best keepers in the world randomly becoming available and City feeling they could pass the chance up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely felt strange like a clever PSR move set up in advance. Could be wrong though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he is on good wages over there then this is where we find out if he prioritises getting paid for sitting on the bench for a good chunk of his career or taking a pay hit and playing first choice.

Plenty of rumours about Willock being wanted by other clubs, Osula linked with Villa etc? I reckon some poor idiots will take Elanga off our hands (not that we'll sell him, I realise this).

OK, came across some Twitter post where he proposed some 17yo for us, maybe in place of Willock iirc. Didnt seem reasonable Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
