Cheers. We need to hurry up and get this deal done then. Be interesting to see how he gets on during pre-season.

I don't think we Sell if we don't get a great deal and a top Replacement in.
What will all these meetings resolve? The issue is Inter not wanting or not being able to pay the price we have set for Lukaku. Do they think his agent can pressure us?
There are more tweets about us selling players than those of tweets about players we are being linked with, sad times. I like the way city just identify a player they need and just go out and complete the deal, then again we have Ed in charge so that speaks for its self.
It’s pretty straightforward when the player has a release clause like in the case of Rodri.

What the feck, doesn't he have a fax machine, a Whatsapp/FaceTime/Viber enabled device? Seems like the agent is trying to generate interest when there is none at those levels.
Dabbur and De Jong - that’s two strikers. Eases up Ben Yedder’s potential departure a lot.
There were reports we were in for him back in April or May. More thank likely he chose the team that finished 1st two years in a row with 100 and 98 points and with Guardiola coaching them over a team that just finished 6th and hired Solskjaer.
We need players who can improve but have to also accept where we are at right now.
Rabiot went to the Italian champions, Rodri to PL winners, N'Dombele to CL finalist and 3rd place. Tielemans had a good 6 months in the league and that is it. Far from a proven performer.
How is Maguire the new Phil Jones?

They've been talkin to him for two months apparently, and he had a release clause, it wasnt a swift transfer considering he had a clause.
Indeed, plus they had been linked with Rodri for months. If we were in the same position, the replies would be "Why couldn't we have done this weeks ago? He had a release clause! City would have signed him as soon as the window opened."
In fact, there was a reply in here bemoaning how slow we were and how fast City were when a tweet was posted here two weeks ago saying City were going to activate the release clause.
I love it - after the bullshitting over Perisic, Inter can do one. Hard cash or go feck yourself.
And knowing Conte, he will probably blow a fuse if Inter directors don't deliver his targets.
Woodward's got them where he wants them; hope he holds his nerve until the end.
The only way I see Bale leaving Madrid is on a permanent deal involving money & Pogba going there. I honestly don't think there is anything in these loan rumours.
Screw Inter after whole Perisic thing. I mean, dont mind at all them trying to get best deal possible for them but when you come for their player is "100mil plx", they come for yours "2 years loan then some joke number plus 3 tomatoes" . Get fecked.
feck sake whatever happened to the new player just standing on the pitch holding a shirt?
This! I'm sick of reading people moan that we didn't buy or aren't in for these players that are picking clubs that are clearly better than us at the moment. We couldn't get everybody we wanted when we were in our prime under Fergie so we sure as hell aren't going to be able to now. Players like Rodri get to pick pretty much any club they want and right now that caliber of player will pretty much always have one club they favour above us.
When we build a decent side and get back to being competitive in the big competitions then the lure and history of the club will start to play a big part again and we can challenge for anybodies signature.
well said
Happens every summer. It's madness.
I hope so, if we buy him of course. I’m not too impressed with the thought of signing him as of now when we have just lost Herrera and Pogba openly wants out but I will be happy to be proved otherwise. Massively worried though if he is our only addition and we keep hold of an unhappy Pogba. Our midfield, well most of the squad are pretty underwhelming in my opinion so I’m praying for some positive additions over the next 5 weeks before our window shuts. I’m sure Real will still go all out for Pogba until September 2nd when we then have no chance to replace him.
Rodri by all accounts is a very good player, City recruitment is for the most part very impressive regardless of how dodgy they are. I’d say just based on the window so far we are just as far if not further behind them now.
This is so true.
With all the reports about Lukaku wanting out/ not in Ole’s plans etc. , how wise would it be to hold out on a hard cash stand ? I mean there is only one buyer interested and they are trying to do the circus not because they are out of cash but to workaround FFP apparently. Do they really have a way out unless they sell ?
I’m not saying our stand is wrong , and Inter of all clubs deserves it as well , but we have to be careful not to ward them off , all things considered .
An unhappy Lukaku might turn out to be a waste of squad space compared to Pogba who can still offer something due to his natural talent.
It depends, if you think they are lying and are just trying to get a cut price deal, then very wise, if it's the only way for the deal to be done not super wise.
However, I don't think Lukaku is the type of person to down tools so it'll be fine.
Still not understanding everyone’s obsession with ‘screwing’ Inter. The Perisic of two years ago is more a £50 million player than Lukaku is a £80 million player.
We’re clearly not happy with how he’s been playing otherwise we wouldn’t be entertaining offers. So why do people think he’s still worth what we overpaid for him originally.

I don't want to screw Inter, but their buy now pay later deal doesn't benefit anyone but them. Ergo, they can eat a dick.
So we should just ignore 2 years worth of extreme price inflation, the fact we paid £75m for Lukaku, the fact Conte really really wants Lukaku, wait 3 years for Inter to pay the money, just because Perisic might have been a decent player?
Or playing a piano.
Because they are taking the piss with this loan bollocks. Now, I would entertain a deal which obligates them to his transfer for 60m in two years with no small print but we should also have the option if somehow his stock goes up in the meantime we can sell him to whoever we want. I just feel Inter play difficult when selling a player but equally take the piss when trying to buy.
We OVERpaid £75 million for him, he’s not been a success, and we clearly don’t want him because he was behind Rashford under the new manager. All of these things would decrease his value.
The majority of transfers involve fees being paid in segments. How is this hard to grasp. Do you think PSG just handed over £180 million in one go for Mbappe. The loan is clearly a way around financial fair play. It’s not like we can’t spend money until we have it.

Re: ‘not being in for Rodri’ - clubs don’t bid for players unless the player has signalled to them that he wants to sign for them.
We didn’t bid because he wasn’t interested. Or we weren’t.
We are one of the biggest clubs in the world and in need of a revamp. We will have been in touch with his agent at least. We will have at least 4/5 targets for every position and you touch base with their agents.
Look at the VVD transfer and the tapping up saga. That’s how it works for every club however Liverpool upset Southampton with their offer and then Southampton lodged a complaint.

The only relevance the Perisic deal has to Lukaku is that Inter got greedy and didn't accept a very good offer and United might well make the same mistake.
