Those players did turn down Arsenal, Liverpool and Everton to come here in the first place mind and had actually contributed a fair bit rather than jumping ship before their boots were even dirty. 86 Hair Islands 1 Link to post Share on other sites

And if he scores 20 for another Championship side? I’m a petty enough man to cut my nose off to spite my face. Made me laugh mate. I admire your honesty. I'm pretty ambivalent myself. Not so much where Gordon is concerned but Delap kinda blotted his copybook with his petulant behaviour when he came back with Citeh's U23s. Lashed out at one of ours for literally no reason at all and got himself sent off. Having netted a hattrick and come up through the ranks here, I'd have liked to see him show a bit more class but then I guess in some ways I'm pretty old-fashioned.

I've not seen such disrespect from one so young since I saw Jack Grealish gobbing off at an official for ruling him offside (he blatantly was offside) in an U18 game (may have been an U21's at the time) against us a number of year back. 86 Hair Islands 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Did we negotiate a transfer, or was it based on a standard compensation clause for a player that age? If it's the latter, would we still get a sell-on fee? @Ghost of Clough, do you know?

angieram 19,276 Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 Just wanted to say this rumour puts into perspective some of the comments about a possible loan return to Derby. Delap is out of our league (literally!) Although I do agree with @86 Hair Islands about his disgraceful behaviour when they played us recently. Link to post Share on other sites
Gee SCREAMER !! 3,563 Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 I'm not really sure why Man City would sell young players to Real Madrid unless they were pushing for a move. Chances are he's a make weight in another deal anyway in that case. We won't see a bean extra in all likelihood. Link to post Share on other sites

If City really want him around, perhaps us waiving our sell-on to get him on loan for next season would complete the deal. It would be stupid on our part, of course, but definitely something I could see us doing. Carl Sagan 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I do not know why some on here feel the need to attack you, be sarcastic or derogatory in other ways. You would think they'd all welcome someone with links to the club and who is ITK on many aspects. Feel assured that some of us appreciate the information that you bring to the forum. Thank you. Carl Sagan, eccles the ram, Dimmu and 3 others 2 4 Link to post Share on other sites

Wouldn't have thought Madrid would shell out more than a few million at this point would they? £54m for Jovic from Frankfurt, £45m on Eder Militao from Porto, £36m for Rodrygo from Santos, £31.5m for Vinicius from Flamengo over recent seasons. For Man City to sell him, you'd be looking in that sort of ball park. Or do what Liverpool have done recently. Loan him out a couple of time before selling for £20.30m (Brewster, Solanke, Ibe) Link to post Share on other sites

All of those players had significant first team time under their belts before those fees - So I still think City would need to play him for a couple of seasons before they could hope for a fee like that whiteroseram 1 Link to post Share on other sites
