Will only get a work permit if a club pays huge money and gives him a big deal In Europe only the major clubs could afford him and probably dont need him 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest av1 Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 Whilst he's undoubtedly been our best player since the restart, and I've got no doubt he'll be a tremendous player in the future, he's been ok at best for much of the season and I just don't see anyone paying a really big fee for him.

tinker Posted July 14, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted July 14, 2020 I wonder if it's a coincidence his form has improved with the end of the season arriving and a possible transfer being on the cards. With the 5 sub rule coming in there is a chance he could get a move at £25m but doubt he would make an impact at cities level . If someone would have offered us £25m before the lock down I would have bitten their hand off, not sure if I wouldn't now tbh How motivated he will be in the championship is debatable and a return to pre lock down form would most likely be on the cards 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenjiOgiwara Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 We need good players. Selling off the few good players we got makes no sense. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One being he's starting to get used to the prem, and the restart tempo of the games is probably a little lower making it slightly easier. Lastly he apparently put a lot of effort in to learning English in the covid break and can now understand his teammates on the pitch, this alone is probably a huge thing, it can't be underestimated how important it is to be able to understand and talk with your team mates in a game. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick76 Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 I see lists of players that fans say will definitely leave us but it doesn’t work like that especially as we have rich owners. Players have contracts and their prices aren’t going to drop materially especially less than what we paid for those players. Yes if somebody forks out the money then the player will likely leave. Given how poor we’ve been, very few players have earned their fee and thus other teams paying what we have paid for them seems a stretch. As somebody said, Luiz was bang average at best before lockdown but has been great since restart, but not sure that would be enough for somebody to fork out good money for just yet. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem is if there is a club that wants to buy him for big money then all city will do is activate the clause and then sell him on themselves. Realistically the maximum we will get is whatever the release clause is for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also whether it is tiered as the years go by. Edited July 14, 2020 by nick76 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 Can’t see anyone paying over £20m for him yet. Still has a lot of learning to do 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can also only see us selling him if a stupid offer came in for him which I don't think is likely. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the basis we survive I don't think we would sell off any if our good players "Intentionally". However, money talks and if the right figure comes in for 'xx' player then I cannot see the board getting in the way. If we don't survive then I don't think we will have much choice. Don't get me wrong. I don't think they will be easy pickings. Apparantly the board have set the tone in saying it's £80m for Jack regardless what league we're in next season. If this to be the case then I doubt we will see players like McGinn, Mings, Targett, Luiz go for peanuts IF they were to also depart. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would get more money joining them straight from us. But again that is unlikely because we don't have to sell him unless city tries to buy him.

Mister_a Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 This is like the Adama thread from a few years ago, hopefully we won't swap him for a few pennies and this years Albert Adomah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 It might take more than half a dozen games for someone to take a 20 million punt on him. If he wants to stay he could still be with us next season. We will see. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The player recognised as the best are normally the games changers like Benrahma and Pereira. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
