I can't imagine he won't bang in goals for Leicester and I think he'll move on to a big side before too long, City letting him go was foolish. Perhaps they want to emulate Chelsea and United to the maximum and will sign him back in 3 years for £80m Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In doing so we've gone from a playoff hopeful to title favourites and odds on to go up! Had a bid accepted today for a striker, he's currently discussing implications with his family.

League One here you go! It's make or break for Steve Evans, he had done big clubs chasing him but he believes in our owners. We basically let go of all mediocre players and replaced them with higher standard. We signed Northampton's player of the year for example.

Eagles $5$ Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 (edited) Man City insist on £50m buy-back option as Kelechi Iheanacho moves to Leicester City in £25m deal Edited August 1, 2017 by Eagles $5$ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kempus Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 For a team like Leicestet, the buy back clause if probably palatable. If Iheanacho is a big success, he isn't staying at Leicester, anyway. 50 million is a pretty big chunk of change, doubling their investment. Makes sense for City, too. If they were wrong to sell him, like a lot of people think they probably are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UKTexans Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/40800757 Quote Neymar has been given permission to leave Barcelona as he looks set to join Paris St-Germain in a 222m euro (£198m) deal. The Brazilian, 25, told his team-mates at training on Wednesday that he wanted to leave the Spanish giants. He was then given permission by manager Ernesto Valverde not to train and to "sort out his future". Damn. It's happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will literally have to purge the rest of their side to cover all of this. #deathoffootball Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viewsfromthe206 Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 Neymar pretty much was handed the reign of Barcelona's future and turns it away. Idk how you turn that away and being able to go down as a future great with Barca. He'll never be as good as Messi, but still, what's a PSG legacy over Barcelona legacy.

UKTexans Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 I just hope he's doing it for himself. Sounds like he has a lot of "advisors", including his father, who stand to benefit financially. Question is, will PSG pay a lump sum? Throw in Verratti? Pay in instalments? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do Barca have the option of choosing lump sum or instalments? As it meets his release clause, I don't know if they have a say? I'm going to assume that how the release clause is paid is written in the contract. I read that Barca are interested in Draxler, Rabiot, Verratti and Di Maria as make weights. Verrattis value would have to be close to 100 million in this deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Verratti is an obvious one Would be surprised if PSG let Draxler leave. I just can't get my head around it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
