I don't get the notion that he will just slide right in and adapt to the league instantly or at all.

Liverpool will strengthen and City aren't going to go into the season without one big name departing. Liverpool had themselves to blame last season rather than City running away with it on their own merit. And the ability to play around supposed financial limitations. Don't forget the all important one. [emoji1360]

I'm sure Omeruo holds that accolade.

Not sure what to make of that. Some good news, I guess.

Fixed

Reports are saying he still wants to leave, so I'm sure there will be a taker should he push.

They have a long way to go before being in the conversation. Eriksen and potentially Toby are on their way, so that will set them back as it is. Not to mention the lack of cover for Kane as well.

I guess he will be the only signing for 12 months. Meh

I don't want him back either, but Atletico should pay up now as reports are suggesting. Make a sizeable loss and give Michy a proper chance.

€50m plus bonus? More money down the drain.

Does anyone at club know there's a superior Croatian on the books?

English....

There's a reason Utd aren't being challenged in their pursuit. It's a high price for someone that only has one season under him at the top level.

The amount of question marks around a club that can't sign anyone new is unreal.

There's no reason why the latter can't get a chance amongst the current crop. Probably our best goal threat from midfield whilst RLC is out.

€40m for someone that isn't going to get any better is nothing more than another short term signing. If there is ever a time to give the entire squad a chance, it's now.

I thought we had dodged that bullet. Hope Sarri continues the love affair at Juve.

Are the club to blame for not pushing harder, then?

Shit ain't going to change with Valverde at the helm.

If they are willing to meet clauses, there isn't much else to do.

Money talks... Not surprising. It's a step down all things considered.

What's stopping him now? Normally playing for your NT is enough to get one.

Don't forget Hernandez too

Might as well be gone tbh. Transfer ban and still isn't seen as worthy of a chance?

How are rumours going around about Barca going after him for the third time and even Atletico joining in on the fun?! I'm honestly speechless
