Popular Post lapal_fan Posted June 23, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 23, 2022 (edited) I just read on a forum (from a guy with a stellar reputation) that he's signed a deal, so don't you guys worry now and start crying or anything. I bookmarked it. #lapalikt Edited June 23, 2022 by lapal_fan 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same as Tammy at Roma, they have a buy back clause for £67m which comes into effect in 2023 also, but they could sell to anybody this season for as much as the like. I don't know the specifics of the deal but I'd be very surprised if it was drafted that way. Take Dougie, for example - I don't think we could have sold him in the buyback period without first asking Citeh and, if there was a profit, they would have exercised their option first and then sold on presumably. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their may be other things inserted in the deal like that. But in regards Chelsea, they usually have a sell on clause as well so if the player is sold before the buy back period kicks in, they still get something.

We could have sold him to United/ Arsenal for anything we wanted but City had first option with the buyback price they agreed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ROTTERDAM1982 Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 From what i have seen of him, his best position seems to be on the left side of midfield, where Ramsey plays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wainy316 Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 Maybe if Dougie is moving on it can free a space and we can offer assurances to Carney and get him to sign. I would like to think Carney has a much higher ceiling too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRO Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 4 hours ago, JAMAICAN-VILLAN said: It possibly could, and very well. Would need to see alot more " work rate " than what I saw in cameos though. However I'd have to revisit my earlier point. This would require fans to temper expectations and have patience for the " greater good ". What if it eventually turns out he actually isn't ready yet, OR it takes him time to get up to full speed, and results suffer due to guaranteeing him starts to keep him, who takes and/or gets the blame? Obviously it's the Manager who would, and probably by the same people who called for this. As @TRO says it's a difficult one, and will probably require a leap of faith from both parties IMO. Thing is Shaun, we can't have the tail wagging the Dog.....even though, we all want him to stay with the club. As you allude to, SG has to stay in his job and winning games is not easy, in this league. this coming season, we must keep the ball more and not give it away so cheaply......control the middle with authority.........young players in particular are suseptible to giving it away too easily. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
