What’s that, £10m or so more than we got Mo and Mane for? Maybe the arse will drop out of the market after all. 

He only has a year left and told city it was Munich or nowhere. I don't think his deal is too representative of anything other than the odd fees you often see around near bosmans.

If they win their appeal, obviously big if, wonder if they would lump that money on top of the sponsorship money they would instantaneously receive from Etihad Bubblegum for every last penny of the remainder of the Sancho fee on Jadon Sancho?

Have they ever overpaid for a German player?


I can’t think of many (any) expensive flops at all.

 

Maybe him from Tranmere but sure he’d have cost peanuts.

 

EDIT - The Moroccan centre half they signed under Guardiola. Can’t even remember his name but I remember he was shite. Sure they paid c.£35m for him as well.

Mehdi Benatia is who you're on about. I was referring to German players specifically. Bayern never seem to get rinsed when signing players from other Bundesliga clubs. They always turn players' heads when their contracts are running down, so either pay peanuts or get the player for free. The likes of Kimmich, Sule, Goretzka and Gnabry were all very highly rated before joining Bayern, and Bayern paid close to fuck-all to sign them.

Just a hallmark of German players and clubs really, the players always run their contract down and the clubs seem fine to let them do so.

 

Emre Can did the same thing with us. To be honest, there's not a great deal clubs can do if players are determined not to sign. Leroy Sane has done the same thing with City.
