Rayan Cherki | City agree deal for €35m + €6m add-ons (Romano) | Deal completed
- Thread starter Berbaclass
- Start date
-
Nik (@Rood), Jamie (@Vault Dweller) and Ed (@That'sHernandez) give their end of season awards out! They celebrate the best players, goals and moments of the season (there were some, honestly) and also give out awards for the worst and most disappointing players/moments of the season.
They then discuss all the latest transfer rumours and get into the potential ins and outs this summer at Old Trafford.

Did Klopp pass his secrets on to his biggest rival?
OGS wanted Haaland before his move to Dortmund, didn't he?
How the hell that city and others get bargain price while United always the big fish price 
Don't think it's City getting some super discount price, it's just that Cherki was a good deal for a team that could accomodate him this summer.
So €100m cheaper than Wirtz.
He has one year left, wants to leave to take the next step, they had a gentleman agreement with the club and a deal with Dortmund for €23M in january that fell through when their coach veto'd the deal last second. Lyon is in financial trouble so when City called they tried to extract a little bit more and Cherki was cool with them doing so.
He was available for cheap for the past few months but only City moved for him.
Haaland was never coming here because Roy Keane ended his dad's career.
The reasoning reported was purely because they weren’t sure of Ole’s stability in his job.
Yeah that never happened
Because we repeatedly ignore such opportunities in the transfer market.How the hell that city and others get bargain price while United always the big fish price
Not this again
Not really sure what that means. Newcastle moan about the oil tax, City generally seem to get away without it. They move quickly as well.
Because we are chasing PL proven this summer, and there was probably another stupid idea in previous times.How the hell that city and others get bargain price while United always the big fish price
Didn’t we think that with Donnie van der Beek?
It’s not a release clause they are paying, if he flops they will take a hit.
Malick Fofana looked a player against us. I expect him to be looked at by clubs for sure.
How the hell that city and others get bargain price while United always the big fish price
Because that price doesn't include all the backhanders they'll be getting from City/Abu Dhabi
Don't care about OGS and not crying about him losing his job. It's about not getting those players on the list and instead getting worse players for more money.
Normally that’s a fair point but Cherki was always going for €30-40m this summer due to his contract situation.
that is a bad example. Have you seen both play? even if Cherki cant take the physicality of the league his technique is light years ahead of Donnies.
Also add the fact that City generally sell better than us anyway, they will sell him within a year if he doesn't work. VDB lasted 4 years at United, he didn't go on loan until his second year.
Piss off. What a bargain. I hate City.
I would always take City's reported fees with giant pinch of salt. With the money City have and the fact there is no chance at team in Europe or Saudi wouldn't have beaten 35mil for this talent even on 1 year left on his deal.
Kloops's former assistant Pep Lijnders is expected to join as Pep's assistant.
Quite a bargain for him. Hope it’s true about his bad attitude. Pep doesn’t like players like that
City are making some great deals so far this summer. Reijnders, Aït-Nouri and Cherki for the price of Wirtz is really good business.
Not true at all, the opposite actually, his teammates and both his coaches have praised his attitude and leadership all season.
He apparently told Utd to try and sign Haaland when he was still playing in Norway.
And bar an effort for Bellingham, they didn’t back Ole.
Nothing to see here, everybody in france knew he had a gentleman agreement for €23M with OL, Dortmund triggered it in january but eventually reneged on the deal, PSG also moved for him while Dortmund was considering. If another club had moved earlier than City for him, they could have gotten him at that price. Since it was City, Lyon tried to get a little more, which they managed to do apparently, because they really really need it. Nothing shady about this deal, just City were quicker to move than anybody else and able to quickly convince the player to join and I actually think they paid a City tax.
OGS first recommended Haaland when he was 16, cherki at 15, Bellingham at 17/18
So around £35m package. Basically around what a top talent in the championship costs. Some deal for city.
Must of just been the negativity when we was interested then. Always praise when it’s other teams
Why is Ole getting credit for Cherki? He was going to be a youth signing, which has nothing to do with the manager.
€35m with €6m is is an amazing deal for Cherki, who will be 22 at the start of the season.
Why would we pay double for Mbeumo, who is 4 years older, double the cost and who potentially has a lower ceiling than Cherki?

It's probably because of the past, he used to be immature and selfish but he started at 15 and was hailed as the next french wonderkid, so this reputation has stuck to him a little bit for people who dont follow OL or the french league, but he has matured a lot and hasnt been like that for a couple seasons.
In that case I find it odd we weren't interested at the lower price. But I dont think he fits Amorim's system. Will see how Pep uses him, his record with flair wingers is mixed to say the least.
Why do people still believe this myth?
Roy Keane did not end his dad's career, he might have tried but in that respect he failed miserably, Haaland's left knee was the injury that finished his career, Kean's tackle was o0n his right thigh
Because there is no proof yet that Cherki will adapt to the high intensity of the PL.
I noticed in our games vs Lyon he got caught on the ball a lot.
Granted he scored, but we were a shambles defensively.
He may do well for them, but we all thought Grealish would too.
Liverpool getting Wirtz
City, Cherki.
What a time
City, Cherki.
What a time
