Never late in a V8
If only Pep had taken the chance on him when we got Cucu, he was aware of him but did not want to take a chance on him. If Pep was as good a manager as everyone thinks he is then it would not have been a problem for him.
For that reason f#$k them, £50+m or do one.

What a kick in the goolies for City. Outed as low ballers by l'il ole Brighton

Big clubs let the small fry take the punt secondary scouting. Clubs are wising up to this hence the huge prices they are asking when one comes sniffing.

Which does beg the question as to just how good these big club managers and owners really are. I have zero doubts that Bloom would be lifting the FA Cup, the CL and the PL if we were funded like the top 4, They have "bought" their trophies and City fall flat on their faces in the CL every season. Pep is good but he is not up there with the best imo and won't be unless he can win the CL for City

I potentially agree with this, but it all depends on what the player's attitude to missing out on the move will be. I'd like to think, given his performances and attitude last season, that he'd knuckle down and continue to be consistently excellent for us.

If he wants to be considered for the Spanish squad, he'd have to

Apparantly because they need a replacement for LB/LWB Marcus Alonso if he's off to Barca.. Come on Barca - throw a real spanner in the works - cut out the middle deals and just put in a bid for Cucu!

I'm fairly relaxed about this situation, we will either retain Marc for this coming season or we will get the price that we want. Just another few weeks of this nonsense to go and we can all get on with the rest of the season.
If City really want him, they should pay the £50m now as he'll be worth more next summer.

Indeed. Man City have walked away from this deal in the same way that a teenager with no ID 'walks away' from a deal with a large nightclub doorman.
Come back on another night with (over 50 million copies of) the appropriate documentation and you'll have no problems.

I get that he would raise his profile playing for a Man City or Chelsea , and decent performances in say the Champions League would obviously help his prospects but its not a pre-condition for being selected. Ask Robert Sanchez.

I don't believe a word of it, but, if there's any truth, then they could have him for the £30m that City offered.
... If they throw in Conor Gallagher.

Now that would be funny just for the reaction of that lot up the road!

I think you’ve missed the context of the post…he was referring to attitude, in his reply to someone…in that he’d have to keep his shi* together (playing for us) to make sure he’s in with a chance of playing for Spain

Agreed. Or they pay £30m and we could have Grealish or De Bruyne to make up the balance.

Sock-boy? No thanks. Fails dismally our NDP. Yes he's talented, very, but also a prima donna d1ck.
De Bruyne - Possibly
