Transfer Discussion Thread

City havent broken me.

Nothing you said there contradicts what I said.

City dont lose players they want to keep.

It's pretty simple.

People said for years Silva would leave or Aguero would leave etc. They didnt, they played almost their entire careers at City. Same has happened for KDB. The same will happen for Haaland probably, that one is a bit murky depending on what happens with the 116 charges or however many they are fighting.

But yeah, thats all I said, is that City dont lose players they want to keep which is true.

You said City don't sell players they want, I pointed out Alvarez played the vast majority of City's games last season, Glen even showed he played more minutes than Haaland, so you shifted the goalposts (as you love to do) to suggest in fact it was probably Alvarez who wanted out, and then it was RPCB who pointed out the silverware he won with City last season, and you still dug in instead of perhaps just admitting you got this wrong and that like all clubs, City sometimes lose players they would have preferred to keep.

You did point out some things that were great. Didnt change anything though.

Alvarez was never going to replace Haaland up top and he played a lot of different positions, wide, behind Haaland, as a 10 which he no doubt didnt enjoy. So he probably wanted to move on to where he would start every game and be an actual striker.

City were like cool, no worries, good luck.

Because City dont lose players they want to keep.

Alvarez wasn't brought in to replace haaland though..?

 

[jod23]

Alvarez wasn't brought in to replace haaland though..?

Of course he wasnt. But he knew he was never gonna get in front of Haaland so wanted out.

When was the last time you spoke to him? You seem to know a lot about what he wanted.

We wanted to keep Sane. We wanted to keep Torres. We wanted to keep Alvarez.

 

[jod23]

We wanted to keep Sane. We wanted to keep Torres. We wanted to keep Alvarez.

But yeah you're still not understanding.

None of those are like a Suarez to Barcelona type situation.

You've never had a player who is massively important to your side and one of the worlds best players want to leave and you cant do anything to stop them.

Doesnt happen to City cos you win everything and have tons of money etc.

Those darn goal posts just won't stay still.

Not sure when it was exactly when we broke you. Yes we have money, but so do lots of clubs including yours. We treat our players well and that helps with our player retention.

But we're not immune to the same issues as other clubs.

If and when Haaland wants a move he'll get a move.

Maybe because they win more than the odd trophy here and there so it keeps players at the club. We know the feeling.

How come you can never accept that you might actually be wrong?

You just come back with condescending, patronising, bullshit.
