It always amazes me that with the cost of players and the gamble involved that clubs have not pushed for all deals to be on the basis of loan with an option to buy. Just seems to make total sense.

It's a great deal however the only issue you use 40 million of the summer budget to keep the squad where it is

True but you also get a player for an extended period to see how he fits into the squad. That would seem perfect, save £40 million if it does not work out and if it does you know already that you have a player that will work for you. Just seems insane that there is effectively a 'try before you buy' option out there being used and yet clubs will happily throw away £50-£100 million on a player that they have no idea if he will fit in, no idea on longer term temperament, etc.

Apparently Moyes has wanted him for years, wanted to get him in with rice for a year and then replace him
Supply and demand really.
Loan to buy is only appealing to the seller if they want rid of someone .

Amazing, somehow City going to break even or make a small profit on him if you buy him at that price after paying a loan fee too. Outcast him for 18 mths as not good enough and still come out smelling of roses. Wow

Tbh I never realised he was that cheap when he went city I thought he was 60 mil
But the rumours are we put that option to cover us, they want paquata in the summer so we hoping to lower the price of Phillips then might accept below the asking 85 mil (release clause) for paquata

Yep expect there will be a net deal of the swap plus 40 or 50m or something similar if all happy

I suspect Spurs will lose the ball around their box a lot tonight. Maybe some easy City goals?

It's not often you secretly like another clubs managers at times, so fair play to Klopp for doing that with me. I'd say Pep is the same tbh and and big Ang. Please note I said some of the time, as other times they all drive me mad.
He is very obviously a fantastic man manager and his enthusiasm is I imagine contagious if your a player or fan of his club.
The PL will miss him and fair play for his success at Liverpool.
For me, Alonso is the only choice (Gerrard would be a complete disaster) As for his future, I'd guess Bayern.
How Liverpool react to this news will be interesting to watch.
P.s. we have an ex manager of Liverpool I could drive upto Anfield if they want a stop gap..

Maybe they could do a job swap until end of season?

How has Bernado not been booked there.?
Great footballer but that kick out at the man who’s gone past him is a yellow.
Some great football but Spurs fans must have no nails left the way they play out at the back

Spurs playing with 10 men ??
Dont they like Werner they seem to not want to pass to him.
City put a man on the keeper on every corner it was just a matter of time.
Even the City fans think Tierney is “Not fit to referee “ judging by the chants
How good is Ortegas distribution.

Not sure why the foul on the keeper wasn't given when we've seen them given plenty of times this season. Oh well.

In old football yeah, but in the VAR era they are usually given as fouls on the keeper.
