Contract extension.
Haha, it happens.Yeah like Richarlison and Ndombele
Thanks for your apology, notes and accepted
The manager wants him
This is what you call backing the manager, it's as simple as that.
We can all moan about this club when it comes to not supporting the managers but when it comes to players we aren't keen on we don't keep the same energy, why?
Also takes almost £4m off the wage bill and stops players being left out of the squad
You're using Bentancur's goal tally in Italy instead of the 5 he scored in half a season in the PL.
Porro scored 3 in 15 last season in the PL, so no reason he can't do 5 in a whole season.
You're ignoring Kulu and Sarr and everyone else in your tally.
And more importantly, you're comparing their output playing in a much more defensive setup.
So yeah, I still think we'll get as many, if not more goals than last season and I'm willing to put my money where my mouth is, if you're interested.
Except we didn't ...
We got somewhere nearer £84/86m didn't we?? (Still not to he sniffed at for a 30 year old, don't get me wrong!)
But won't get the rest of it until he wins the CL or makes 100+ appearances probably!!
£50m for a relatively unproven lower PL level player is ludicrous... But then so are half the numbers being bandied about for some very average players these days!!
Agree, think folks would be wise to factor in 2 things:
1. How much better will he look with 10 better players surrounding him, to open up more space for him.
2. How much will he improve, as we have seen with 7-8 players almost instantly in Anges system.
Always thought he had some quality, but haven’t watched closely to know, just hope he’s Anges No.1 target, given he’s lost Kane he must be given half for a player he believes will have high impact.
I thought you would know better than this.
Better tie Tanguy and Eric down to new deals to so we can preserve their value
I'm inclined to agree...
Instead of relying on just ONE player scoring 30 goals, I can easily see a scenario where at least 3, 4 or 5 players can score 10 each, we've already had 5 different goalscorers so far this season... (6 if you include Ben Davies!!)
...except Richie of course... He'll get a few I'm sure, but I reckon Vicario might even beat him for goals this season... He seems the type of lad who will come up for a late late corner if we're trailing!!
Nonsense if he' s a good striker, better than Richy and will deliver. £50m is cheap for an EPL decent striker. You get what you pay for.
Get him if the manager wants him. Back the manager.

I mean wolves paid 42m and they would expect to make a profit.
The problem is then we don't have cover for Romero and there's only a a few days left of the transfer window. Except Tanganga and Dier.
don't agree on the Nunes bit as I feel City do need him but agree with rest of post.
Ange literally said the other day in his presser that he still feels that there is value in the market if you look in the right places. Johnson for £50m clearly isn't that, so you can only assume the club have got hung up on having another HG player.
I can see where you might be getting tripped up. It's a complicated formula. 6 goals divided by 3 games = 2 goals per game.
But putting maths aside, the encouraging thing is that these 2 goals per game are off an xG of 2 per game. So we haven't been lucky. We're actually creating the chances to score 2 per game in a sustainable fashion.
And yet, by all accounts, he wants Johnson
