Confirmed Signing Richarlison

[bluestevon]

The boy was first linked at the start of the window, granted at that stage it was probably bull, but the Mori thing, now this, just boom out the blue, things have started it seems.

Which is exactly how we should be doing business really mate, boring for all us who have the need for 24 hours news if everything happening, but in reality will stand us in massively better stead

I don't have a problem with signing the player but we're supposed to be finding these players when they're £12m from the Brazilian league.

When we're spending this sort of fee it should be for properly proven players. They should be worth about £50m to us a couple of years after we've bought them for a low fee, not at the inexperience. Think it's a mistake myself but he will do well here.

I love signing players and yes the market has gone crazy over the last few years but the values that we are being forced to pay is ridiculous. Great when the players perform but a millstone around our necks if they don't. I can't imagine we can take too many hits like last summer if we still want a new stadium.

If he signs great I will get behind him just like I did/am with Sigurdsson but I hope he adds some x factor to us straight from the off.

Just seems we are in that halfway house where we aren't getting in superstars (despite the superstar money we are paying) and we aren't getting in decent prospects for ok money (Well we did with Lookman and then choose not to play him) That middle ground can be dangerous.

If we can offload Bolasie for 20 mill then I will feel a lot better.

£20m for Bolassie? We'd be lucky to get that for him, Klaasen and Schneiderlin.

The problem is that the difference between his performances with and without Silva was like night and day. If Silva doesn’t cut it and leaves then this could be a massive waste of money.

Not really. We’d just flog him to Silva’s new club for 80 million.

Stop ruining my lovely, lovely dream!

This is exactly the sort of signing I thought we were trying to get away from, so i’m pretty disappointed tbh. It’s way too much of a gamble for me.
Added to the fact that our last managers going back for their ex players has generally been a disaster.

stats don't always tell the full story

check out sterlings stats for england

2 goals in 44 games and hasn't scored since October 2015

won the league with city after scoring 18 goals in 33 prem games

Well said. Everything really hinges on the exits. If the likes of Malcolm isn’t coming in, Lookman has to stay for me.

Even if Malcom comes I'd hope beyond hope we could keep Lookman but I wouldn't be devastated if he left if we got Malcom. Almost as much as I want us to sign those players mentioned I want us to be rid of Mirallas, Bolasie, Williams by August too.

But why? It's not like we're skint like we used to be. I mean I get the idea of buying low and selling high. But we're not like we used to be having to dig through the bargain bin hoping to find a gem. I think we are at a place now where we can splash some cash if we want to and look for bargains.

Lookman is already worth double. Onyekuru could be worth even more if he tears up Turkey.

Oh god, that's a lot of money to facilitate mass booing

 

[technojoe]

Never heard of him.

Youre on twitter though y? So you aint seen chico or esk interact with him?? He does spots on blueroom podcast. You deffo saw what he said. Its ok to copy something someone said to look cool.

 

[windymiller]

Ha.

Harrogate Town. I’m tellin’ ya. We’ll be playing them in about 7 years anyway.

Harrogate Railway, unless you're a hipster!

I miss the good ol’ days where a 50 million cash splurge bought a Tevez with a side of Robinho.

(I’m not that old btw so those days really weren’t that long ago..) :/

You realise that the " after" stat is 10 games less, right? And therefore a lesser amount.
IE: 24 games on the left is almost identical stats to the right
