Not really Iheanacho will be getting screwed if he doesn't move as he is too good to ride the bench.
for sure? aren't there rumors about a transfer to england?
Eh? I'm talking about the swap. Bertrand is a good LB and all but Iheanacho has a whole load of potential and is already one of the best young strikers in the league. Southampton will benefit more than City. He'll have a bigger impact there than Bertrand at City.

Tolisso is quite comparable to Goretzka. The Sanches lesson should be not to overvalue players who get hot in an international tournament.
Someone tell Florentino Pérez.

Exactly, case in point. Where is James going to end up?

Iheanacho has talent but City wont tap into it, Aguero and Jesus are in his way and City look to add more to the attack this window who would certainly be ahead of him. On the other hand we only have one wing back and no full backs so Bertrand adds a hell of a lot to the team that is also an area of the team that hasn't been invested in since 2012 and been routinely targeted by all oppositions.
Right, that's all true but Soton are still getting the better deal unless it's cash and Bertrand. They need a goalscorer. RB's worth probably £15m? could get maybe £25m for Iheanacho. City are desperate for a fullback and so willing to concede some to get it done.
In other news:
Liverpool are ready to make a club-record bid for Naby Keïta. (Paul Joyce from the Times)
I'll believe it when I see it...
Yeah, he looks brilliant. I don't know why more teams aren't going for him
I'd have him at Liverpool for sure

Yeah Southampton are getting the better deal but I don't really see many other deals where City wont get their pants pulled down when it comes to signing wing backs. Especially if they will be fulfilling the homegrown quota. If Arsenal end up selling Sanchez to City for the rumoured 50mill then I'm not so fussed as that would be a player going for under independent valuation.
There better be a buy-back clause in there.
No, his agent was in Munich, there is an agreement for 2018. We bought Tolisso, pressure is on Schalke. For free next season or 15m max from Bayern now.
I would absolutely have thought so.
Apparently the reason we're accepting slightly less money for players (Traore, Van Ginkel, all the way back to Bruma) is we're negotiating sell on clauses for those guys - Bruma moved from Eindhoven and we got another £4m for the pleasure!
It's mad your team won't give youth a chance. I bet you sell Christensen soon.
That's prudent I suppose.
I've long said that if we continue this conveyor belt policy, that we should ensure we put in buy-back clauses when possible. We could have had De Bruyne and Lukaku in the fold if we had exercised a bit of foresight.
We don't lack for talented youth, and it's not fair on them that they're never given the chance to grow. At least buy-back clauses give them a degree of freedom to play, and a chance of eventually making the first team.

Now even the BBC are running with us willing to break our record for Keita.
Highlights I've seen of the lad are impressive, can keep the ball and lay off a key pass very well, but I'm always trepidatious when the money is that big. But meh, not money.

When you have Benitez, you need a penalty to keep it fair
Please buy Lucas off us.
We're so tight fisted we won't be buying anyone. Not even Lucas

Damn, if you can survive this year then Benitez should have a year's worth of Premier League cash to buy a couple decent players
(so long as Mike Ashley doesn't pocket the change >.>).

What does signing Lacazette have to do with Sanchez?

Spent a lot of time playing striker. Probably was at his best there.
He can still play wide with Lacazette tho so idk. But I think he'll leave nonetheless.

If Wenger sticks with 3 at the back then he'd play behind Lacazette anyway. If he goes back to 4-5-1 then he simply goes back onto the left.

Yeah they switched to 3 ATB nearing the end of the season. It looked pretty good, I think Wenger will stick with it.

Just saw the replay of the goal by Weiser, so damn great! Germany can't get confident against this young Spain team tho. Great game thus far
