Vincent Kompany must presumably know how good he may be….

23 million is a lot of money for a young player who hasn't proved himself. [Post edited 23 Jul 2022 20:03]

Didn't they pay 20 million for Carillo?
I would think Delap would be better than he was. | | | |

We don't know, he hasn't played in a PL game or any top flight games. But I assume, they know he has got what it takes, but I still think it's risky. If we have 25 million to spend on one player l, we could probably buy Pukki, Dennis or another proven PL striker and get Delap in on loan as well. [Post edited 23 Jul 2022 20:39]

Presumably a buy back clause would be factored into any deal.
But that only comes into play if he cuts the mustard.
If he doesn’t, £23 million is indeed quite a bit….. | |

Seems low risk to me. We just hired the manager of the city academy who presumably knows the lad inside out. As its his first move for us, I must assume he is very confident he's worth the money. |  | | |

Looking a bit tricky, this….

Why would they lose out on a possible transfer fee of 60 million plus in a couple of years, and / or a top PL goal scorer for just 20 million? This looks like a no go unless we get him on loan or a buy back clause, but even then, why would they want to have to spend money to buy him back? They will want to send him on loan, and if he's brilliant they will sell him for lots of.money or play him in their team. [Post edited 23 Jul 2022 22:37]

Clubs like City need great gobs of cash, as and when they make deals. The 50mil they spend on Haaland, means most of that goes out of the bank straight away. Then there is the excess of 10mil of agents fees that will be straight out of the bank. Given their net spending usually way exceeds their incomings from transfers, they need cash in the bank to do the deals. Selling lads out of the academy is one way to do it. There is a risk they may let a goodun go, or have to buy back at a premium, but that’s only applies if the lad is excellent in future, and City want to do the deal. But that can get a load of cash right now. |  |

Why didn't they accept our bid then? It's the opposite of what you say. Man City don't need to sell, they are one of the richest clubs in the world, and can have a policy of short term pain for long term gain. They have a likely 60 million plus coming their way for Delap, next season or the season after that. They will wait for that, rather than take 16 million now. | |

Sounds promising. We need a striker, if all we can get is a loan, so be it, better than not having him at all. | |

A lot of cash for certain, now, is sometimes a better option than maybe more sometime in the future. Presumably the £60m is plucked out of the air. Put it in the context of the £50m for Sterling, Mane, Harland and others who have season after season of proven quality under their belts. As soon as you start putting realistic values into the equation, things look a little different. Man City still have to work to Fair Play rules, and their salary bill continues to soar. They cannot ignore cash flow issues. | |

But they are ignoring the cash flow, because Pep has said Broja is going on loan despite reported bids incoming. As I thought, they will let him develop this season at another club and then sell him next season for a larger fee, once he has scored a few goals. Not sure how the FFP works, because they must be paying De Bruyne, Haaland, Grealish huge amounts of money but it doesn't seem to affect them. They are so rich, it doesn't matter if they get fined. | |

He'll probably get kicked off rhe Park every week and suffer a serious injury...not a wise decision by City if honest. | |

And he wasn't shy of putting the boot in either...can take a good throw in too if memory serves...our squad could do with a few lessons in that if honest mate. | |
