City getting him for that price and wage doesn't mean we would be able to.

Why is that? Surely if a club matches a bid and matches the wages he can accept whichever club? He may choose city which is fair enough but don't really understand that

Because then City just offers more. There's no reason what-so-ever for him to choose us over them and this thread should be locked.

City can offer more and there's obviously more incentive to join City than us besides money.

Levy isnt going to drop 50m on a DM when we have dier and wanyama so we should forget about it.

That's a fair point was just saying as just read that if we offered the same we wouldn't get him but them constantly increasing then fair enough

That's the whole point of the oil clubs, they simply price everyone else out of the deals.

He's nothing like Dier or Wanyama. He's a passer, a metronome type player and exactly what we need to sit behind the front 4 and next to Dier/Wanyama.
Unfortunately, I really can't see this having legs. Napoli are already at our level, if not perceived as better in Italy. It's a sideways move and would only do it if we treat him like a megastar and he desperately wants to play in England. Otherwise City will always be the better prospect, even if he might not be guaranteed a spot in the starting line up. At the end of the day he's been part of a 'nearly men' team at Napoli and probably wants to join a proven title winning side.

The huge wage increase means it's not a sideways move. This Napoli team are getting stripped bare this summer. End of an era for them unfortunately I think.
Apart from the eye-watering agent fee they were probably willing to pay that made the agent persuade him to join us?
And yes, almost locky o’clock.

Seri linked to Arsenal in the last couple of days. He'd be a decent option for us.

We could always try and use dembo as a sweetener if we were to go for him. But city have pounced and now its probably to late. Like I said, we arent going to pay 50m for him.

Ancelotti is a good manager with a good reputation in the market. I don't think Napoli are going to be in a bad state at all. If anything, I expect them to challenge Juve again next season and think they'll be well worth it.

It's not really an ace if City can just throw more cash at them.

Well we've had quotes from the manager saying it won't make money start falling from the sky immediately, so I think it's safe to say we'll still be getting blown out of the water for a fair while yet.
