Sly Posted 3 January 2020 Share Posted 3 January 2020 Maybe we should buy Jesus for £45,000,000?!? If true, this is as much as a joke as £30,000,001 or whatever it was for Suarez from Arsenal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan LCFC Posted 3 January 2020 Share Posted 3 January 2020 Genuinely amazes me people still come out with these derisory figures when we've proven we'll rip you off. Why the hell would we sell him to Man City for that much? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suzie the Fox Posted 4 January 2020 Share Posted 4 January 2020 Man City 'offer' €45m for Leicester defender – Guardiola wants player 'at all costs' Manchester City have offered €45 million for Leicester City central defender Çaglar Söyüncü, according to Turkish outlet Aksam as translated by ‘ManCity Türkiye‘. Pep Guardiola’s defensive injuries have severely hampered any serious title challenge for his side this season, with reoccurring injuries to the likes of John Stones and Benjamin Mendy, as well as the serious problem dealt to Aymeric Laporte back in August. Despite the rise of Fernandinho and Eric Garcia in the absence of Laporte, some City fans have called upon the club to recruit a new defender this month. According to Turkish newspaper Aksam, the current Premier League champions have offered €45 million for the central defender – a player Pep Guardiola is described as wanting ‘at all costs‘. The report claims that Brendan Rodgers’ side are demanding a sum in the region of €70 million, and judging by previous Manchester City transfer business, a sum that is far beyond the club’s current reach. The 23-year-old is not the first defender to be linked with a move to Manchester City in the last four weeks, and not the first from Leicester City. Ben Chilwell has previously been linked with an Etihad switch, along with the likes of Ruben Dias and Pau Torres from Benfica and Villarreal respectably. Although the names will keep coming our way, it remains highly unlikely that the Blues will form any concrete interest this month. Souces on various sites but basically all quoting from the Turkish site Aksam. https://mcfcxtra.com/2020/01/03/man-city-offer-e45m-for-leicester-defender-guardiola-wants-player-at-all-costs/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

volpeazzurro Posted 4 January 2020 Share Posted 4 January 2020 Logic would dictate that if we sold a very decent centre half in Maguire for 80m, then a younger, already better player with for more scope for improvement than the solid, but very slow performer, we'd have to be talking around the same price bracket minimum. Common sense however, if we have any ambition whatsoever would be to nurture him for our own purposes whilst in the meantime, barring injury or dramatic drop in form, his value will skyrocket! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

urban.spaceman Posted 4 January 2020 Share Posted 4 January 2020 Man City like to pretend that they can’t spend massive amounts and go breaking transfer records like other clubs, which is why they walked away with their tail between their legs when Vichai demanded £95m for Mahrez in January 2018. They’d rather spread their budget and pay around the £50-60m mark on multiple players, which is why they’ve spent more money on defence than Afghanistan and Albania combined - £50m each on Stones, Walker, Mendy; £56m on Laporte, £60m on Cancelo to sit on the bench. That’s why they didn’t go for Maguire when they really should have. The problem with this is that half of the above are either shit or relentlessly injured, and the £65m paid for Rodri as a DM has mean he’s had to fill in at CB this season. Their model has been successful in the last 2 seasons but is unsustainable if they keep getting injured and/or turning out to be shit. So they’ll have to be smarter in the market - as should we. Get Cags to sign a new contract and refuse to look at any offer below £100m. In fact that should be our policy for all our squad from now on. Nobody - not even Wes - should be available for less than £100m, and definitely not to another Premier League club. Je Suis Rudders. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FoxFromCoalville Posted 4 January 2020 Share Posted 4 January 2020 Soyuncu would not attract the same fee as Maguire as he isn't English, meaning he won't help clubs meet their homegrown quota. English players moving from PL club to PL club for stupidly inflated fees isn't particularly new. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soyuncu is every bit as good on the floor as Maguire, in fact better, his reading of the game is better and in the air equally as good. He is also younger so I would value him at a higher price than Maguire. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crap reason, but seems to be true. Could not give a toss myself and would rather he just stayed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ithuriel Posted 4 January 2020 Share Posted 4 January 2020 Maguire went for the amount he did due to how much Man Utd. wanted him with us not wanting to sell, even with Maguire wanting the move, him being English had nothing to do with the price and it would be the same with Soyuncu. We do not want nor need to sell so a club that really wanted him would have to throw more money at us than we could turn down, otherwise they'd be wasting everyone's time. He is our player, we set the price if he was to leave before his contract is up, not the market, not other clubs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
