This is a reality that Minteh fan boys and other fans may not fully comprehend. Bruno's desire to win a trophy in the near future is understandable, and signing a developmental player may not align with his ambitions. As fans, we must accept that we have world-class players who seek immediate success and achievement. Acquiring a top-six class defender like Guehi demonstrates our commitment to our star players and our ambition to compete at the highest level. Regarding the transfer fees, while I initially had reservations about the value of Gordon and Isak, I have learned from past experiences. If the club believes that Guehi is worth £70 million, then I am in agreement. This is a really good point, for me Guehi would be the first next-level signing that a team like Man City would make. Not that Guehi is a next-level player as such, but he's a proven quality player in a position we need, so we go out and get him. That's what top teams do. I also don't care about the price too much, I'm assuming that the club won't pay a price that will put future plans at risk.

Ben Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 I would be happy to walk away now, if he wants to come then do something about it, £60 million is a great deal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know yourself that's no longer an option for potential challengers. You can't blow £70m and move on. We'd likely have to consider selling an Isak/Bruno/Gordon in 12 months time to compensate or face a points deduction.

Losing Minteh and paying way over market for Guehi is not how we become a top team. I think our business prior to this window was good, and I don't understand why we seem to be going away from that. We need the next Sven Botman not the next Harry Maguire. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prophet Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 Palace fans seem to think Guehi and Anderson will leave mind. They signed a CB earlier in the window too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You lost on opening day. I get it’s a business but we have ambition and a different sort to Chelsea and City. We’ll play the fucker, we’ll make him the best CB in the league. You don’t care about him. Eddie cares about him.. Damn. I imagine Liverpool fans are saying similar about Newcastle and Gordon. Horrific. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny enough, seems like a lot of the English players from the euros are having a bit of a rough go of match day 1.

Troll Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 4 hours ago, Zero said: So you mean we are going to break our bank for a defender that is not one of the best CB in the world? Seriously? All those you mentioned, except VVD, cost the club way less than Guehi. WTF are we doing here? I was expecting you to really explain what’s his strength and why he can bring us to another level, by replacing Schar or Botman. I didn’t expect the answer is no he isn’t one of the best. Values change. Saliba cost £27m when he was 18. He'd go for a lot more than Guehi today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
