Rodgers on radio this morning saying there was a cut off date after which we wouldn't be interested. I suppose if we were offered 100 million up front that could change.

Not advocating this or anything it just popped into my head, iirc it was when they signed James Roudriguez and Joao Moutinho from Porto for some silly combined fee. Anyway, can't remember which one it was but one of them had a chunky sell on clause and the official fee for said player was £100k or something and the other player officially cost 50 odd million or something as a way to circumvent the sell on lol! I think Man Utd did the same thing when we bought De Laet and Matt James off them at the same time. I think De Laet had a sell-on clause that Stoke were due, but Man Utd valued him at next to nothing as part of a £2m deal, IIRC. Edit: Just seen I was beaten to this more than once. It was De Laet and James. Nothing to do with Drinkwater. And it was Man Utd dodging paying a fee owed, not us.

Got the impression listening to Dorset’s that he had done some more digging and that we may allow Harry to leave late on but we certainly wouldn’t buy a replacement at that stage cos we would be rinsed by the selling club

It would be nice though if this was also made public knowledge so that we all knew where we stood. The media meltdown during the last 24 hours of such a deadline would be gold, although I am sure there would be headlines along the lines of "utd still hopeful of Maguire deal despite Leicester deadline" or some such. I would willingly place a wager that they are that arrogant that they would think that we will be forced to drop the price if they let the deadline go by. The media heat and stories of little Leicester blocking Harrys dream move would no doubt be everywhere when we told them to F**k off and do one.

Can just hear Jim bloody White on Talk Sport Maguire to Man Utd we're all over this etc etc. Frankly if his agent is any good he should be persuading Man Utd to pay what we want. After all he would make even more money.

I only heard this quote this morning whilst driving. Money tends to talk at the end of the day.

ARM1968 Posted 17 July 2019 Posted 17 July 2019 Either pony up or fuch off. It’s really simple. By now even the knuckle dragging Mancs must realise we’re not going to bend over for them. If they want the deal then they have to assume the position themselves.
StanSP Posted 17 July 2019 Posted 17 July 2019 Usually found this to be a reliable account in the past but not sure who Alfredo Pedulla is or what his 'record' is.

I do too but with Guardiola, my mind immediately goes to all his Barca players tapping up Fabregas for over two years. He's got form. He dismissed the Maguire question just because Man City aren't interested in him.

Saw a comment that pedulla is considered to be ‘tier 1’ informative by yanited fans .... can’t think how he would know details of a domestic transfer unless there was an associated deal being done on the back of a maguire purchase (lindelof or Baily going to Italy? )

Needs clamping down on tbh

happy85 Posted 17 July 2019 Posted 17 July 2019 Man Utd are getting closer to signing Harry Maguire. The deal is being finalised with the fee being close to €90m (£81m).

It was a smart move tbh. It shows he is still our player and that's how it'll stay, the interview as well was genius from BR. Publicity we've rejected 2 bids of below our valuation and that we won't stand in the way should an offer acceptable come in. The time limit mentioned increases the pressure from their fan base. We're playing with Utd at this point.

That’s a tad cynical ....he won’t love the club like we do but I’m sure he has a lot of fondness for us. he he wants to play for Man City and win things or he wants to secure his family’s next fifty years + with a forty million quid contract from yanited

Why can’t he love the club and want to better his life/career? I imagine he’s extremely thankful of the platform the club gave him, how they’ve looked after him and he probably has a genuine bond with a lot of the people here.

I imagine a lot of the players we’ve sold look out for City’s results still (maybe a tad optimistic but I reckon so). All of the players we’ve had right the way back to the MON days have always said how fantastic the club is.

Getting closer and being close are massively different, I am getting closer to death every second but really hope I'm not close.
