Winter Transfer Despair and Bafflement.

[Özim]

We're haggling over £3m for one of the world's best strikers and City are splashing another £60m on a young defender.

Yeah utterly embarassing tbh. Sums us up though, cheap.

Comparing Apples and Oranges

The simple fact is whilst that old crook Kroenke refuses to invest any of his own money in the club, whilst we can afford what Dortmund are asking, we probably have to be more self aware of value.

City with this Laporte fella they can throw sixty million odd around without blinking and if he turns out good they are getting years out of him.

Aubemeyang is proven talent, but at 28 a player reliant on pace comes with a best before date, and whilst there is a contradiction over being parsimonious when the club allowed Wenger to run down the contracts of Ozil and Sanchez but if you think you can get a club to knock money off their asking price for a player who they seem to want to sell why wouldn’t you. If it doesn’t work and we are left with just Mkhitaryan we look bloody stupid, but if it does work I don’t imagine anyone here will complain too much.

And if you’re part of the club hiearchy and you’ve seen what Wenger has done for Lacazette would you really be keen to shell out 60million so easily?

The value of any commodity is tied up in what other people are willing to pay. Are there clubs coming in willing to meet Dortmund’s asking price?

Good for them that they're not wasting their time on some 30 year old has been that never was.

See I’ve never seen any glimmer that we or city or in fact anyone else has been particularly interested in Evans

Most of these rumours I’m sure come about from agents looking for a big pay day.

No. Just a new account because this site is old and shit and has gathered more dust than the queens pussy

Oh do me a favour.

He's one of the best strikers on the planet in his peak years.

Give them what they want and get it over the line.

Time will tell I guess, would be just like us to waste money on someone like this and not be willing to pay a few extra million for someone top class, we've doneit many times.

Who would have believed we would have signed rejects like Silvestre and Welbeck, two players ridiculed by Arsenal fans before they arrived and two players noone believed we were going to sign.
