Yeah, that means I don’t think they’ll exercise the clause. And they won’t exercise the clause to strengthen a competitor just for the sake of £10m-£15m or so.

Junxs Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 Let's not forget there was a new rule introduced a few years ago where a player cannot be at 3 clubs in one season. This means Man City cannot buy him back to just sell him on, so the question really is if they feel he is ready to become a first team squad member or not. I personally don't think he is yet so we have nothing to worry about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delphinho123 Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 Doesn't look good at all, this. Would be a big blow. He was really starting to show an understanding with Grealish towards the end of the season. Painful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCJonah Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 (edited) Only got ourselves to blame when you make these deals. Ultimately he helped us survive but now its a huge hole in a very important position that needs filling. I'm starting to get nervous.

We'll just have to look at it as City giving us a good player for a year and £10m. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonLax Posted August 17, 2020 Author Share Posted August 17, 2020 Was hoping to get a second season out of him, I don’t understand why Man City didn’t just loan him if they were going to take him back after one season. Essentially they have paid us £10m for a one year loan (usually it’s the other way around!). Unless it was purely to get around his work permit issues.

Keyblade Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 Damn that really hurts. I was looking forward to having a team built around him and Jack next season. Though I will say if his brother really was privy to this information, he wouldn't be posting that on Twitter congratulating Douglas? Seems a weird thing to do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delphinho123 Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 Right now, if this speculation is true, our front 6 looks like this: ---------------------------?------------------------------- -----?--------------Grealish---------------------?--- --------------McGinn-----?--------------------------- We have a lot of work to do. With the vultures circling around Grealish too, we are not looking good for next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, what does Favela won, mean? Is that just a poor translation? Seems bizarre tweeting a news article as well? And, there is the work permit issue...don't Man City need to prove he is in the top 25% of their earners or some weird criteria like that? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like an inside joke to be honest. If he really knew he was off to City, he wouldn't be reacting to a clickbait article like one of us plebes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herman22 Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 IF he goes that's a big loss, but at least this is a decent deal for us rather than the usual loan deals we agree to. It's a player that helped us stay in the league and a 10mil profit in one season. Again IF he goes we will need a decent replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
