If we’re going to just end up selling him anyway though, would we be as well off just getting it done now rather than playing this faux tough man routine like we did with Kane and Bale etc and selling them right before the season starts and fucking over another manager.
Because the reality is, he wants out, Atletico want him, he is fully awake to the fact that this ownership are frauds and that he is very unlikely to achieve anything further by staying here. And from the outside looking in Romero seems a very volatile character who could cause an almerciful fuss if we don’t let him leave and in that scenario would be no asset to us anyway.
My view on it would be if it’s a choice of selling him for €60 million now or €70 million on the last week of August, take the €60 now and get it over with.
Money from Bayern is as money in the bank. We can borrow cheaply using it as collateral. I doubt very much its an important factor on where we purchase.
Jesus I hadn't even thought of that scenario! It can always get worse
The first summer City came in for Kane, he stayed. I'd expect that to be the case this summer.
It's nonsense. You're believing rumours.
I'm not saying we will or won't sign him, but I don't believe he's some kind of closet Arse fan. If he goes there it's because I hate to say it, they're better than us. And they'll probably pay a lot more in wages than us.

It is believed LOL
Let's see if we heat reports later that we have agreed terms with him as well.
We won't be replacing him anyway. Danso is his replacement and we've 3 young centre backs (Takai, Phillips and Vuskovic) waiting to get an opportunity. So doesn't really matter when we sell him. The club have no intention of buying another centre back.
3/4 of squad would jump at the chance to sign for this current Woolwich set up and fight for the big trophies, so it’s no biggie really.
It's ok guys we signed another 10 year old from Leeds for a seven figure sum.
That seems to be where our focus is right now.
And we released a new black kit, so get your wallets out I guess.....

I'm not sure what I'll make of it if he agrees personal terms with both of us. At least that would really wind up the goons if he ends up there knowing he was also open to joining us.
Surely he has to reject our advances now. Looks terrible on his part if he's agreed personal terms with both North London rivals.
I'd agree with this generally, it is after all a profession and if one wants a successful career with a company they have to show some degree of loyalty towards their paymasters.
There are however exceptions e.g. some players (like BAE) have absolutely no interest in football other than plying their trade and picking up their wages while other are just like us and wear their club hearts on their sleeves....not to mention the feckers who kiss the badge when things are going well?
Anyone listening to Bent and what he says about Us and the Arse' on his radio spot would find it difficult to believe he ever donned our shirt.
You could well be right, but I think it would be a mistake and the situations are chalk and cheese.
Atletico aren’t a PL rival. Romero is far easier to replace than Kane. Kane is a top professional and once he got over not moving to City he went on to have a fantastic season, I worry the same can’t be said about Romero (open to be proven wrong on that point)
You’re probably right, which is utter bollocks in its own right.
Even if Eze did support Spurs, I'm not sure he would choose us over the Scum because they pay more and will probably challenge for the title again. Yeah, we won the Europa, but they're a much better side than us currently, sadly.
Yeh, once the sale is on the books we won't care.
We're not gonna spaff 30m on a player merely to (effectively) make life easy for Bayern.... Ridiculous notion.

The question is. If Eze really was a target (which I don't believe for a minute as its not the type of business we do, £70m on a 27 year old with presumably a large wage demand)
But putting that aside lets assume for a micro second that we were really in for him.
Why the fuck did we sit on this and not get the personal terms sewn up earlier, meaning that we've allowed another club to steal a march on us??
Why are we so fucking inept?
