' CITY STAR TO BE SOLD FOR £8M-£10M ? '

I was told today from a very good, reliable person that City will want between £8m-£10m for Bruno Manga?

Is Manga worth it?

Will we get it?

Would you accept it?

£5 mil is more reasonable £8M, to £10M is a bit to much. :thumbright:

As long as the money is used to give ST holders a reduction in price for next season because if you give it to our management team you might aswell throw it down the drain

Why what money has been wasted by slade so far out of the pittance he's spent?

If we keep him It will show good ambition for next season

Nonesense. Has made some good signings and average like most managers! Kennedy is a great addition and peltier has been decent and before he got injuired Malone was doing well :bluescarf:

Only Matt Kennedy out of the players he has brought in has the potential to improve what we already had.he hasn't spent much I grant you but the rest like okeefe he doesn't even fancy him himself

Frank Burrows there today scouting for Tony Pulis for WBA. Said he was there to watch Manga

Doubt that Slade would be given much if any of it to spend as no doubt it would be used to reduce the debt.

Hopefully Slade isn't around next season anyway.

If we get rid of Manga then I think that we are really going to be in trouble. What are we left with Morrison, Connolly and Turner :( hardly bears thinking about.

Re: ' CITY STAR TO BE SOLD FOR £8M-£10M ? '

This sounds about right. Slade and Young will move hell and high water to get rid of every last vestige of talent in the club.

I'd be gutted if we had £5m for him, worth way more. Only reason they let him go to us for £3m was that he was on his last year in his contract.

I just think any fees received will be used to "pay off the debt" ,wouldn't be surprised to see us tap into free transfers during summer ...sorry but just can't get excited about things at the moment.

Re: ' CITY STAR TO BE SOLD FOR £8M-£10M ? '

He is way to good for this level , he won't be here next season

5mill plus and we will sell

Re: ' CITY STAR TO BE SOLD FOR £8M-£10M ? '

Sat Mar 07, 2015 11:05 pm

Perhaps we'll just pay up his contract & let him go for nothing.

Re: ' CITY STAR TO BE SOLD FOR £8M-£10M ? '

Sat Mar 07, 2015 11:08 pm

Quality player cant see anyone paying more than 4-5m though.

I think he needs to be sold, we ain't that's buying club anymore.

Re: ' CITY STAR TO BE SOLD FOR £8M-£10M ? '

Time to sell anyone worth anything,and start again next season,hopefully with a new owner and manager in place

Re: ' CITY STAR TO BE SOLD FOR £8M-£10M ? '

Once again we go completely overboard when we see a decent Championship defender....he's not Premiership class, he may be in a year or so but not now. He's not worth 8-10 million...but if I were offered silly money like that, snap it up.
One thing for sure he really needs to learn how to time his jumps and head cleanly, big weakness for a central defender.

the squad is so bereft of talented players that Manga looks outstanding. Only question mark is why a top team has never bought him at 26 years old

Re: ' CITY STAR TO BE SOLD FOR £8M-£10M ? '

Sun Mar 08, 2015 11:36 am

We will sell him for 2/3 million

Relegation NQAT

Can see him , Marshall plus few other high earners go, Tan will then collect the Prem parachute then sell club . Minimal loss then.
New owner will have to start all over again.

Hopfully Slade will be in employment in Div 1 where he specialises

Spot on . He is not great in the air - see Rotheram's goal on Tuesday - and makes some horrible errors. Best we have though and I will be sorry to see him go.

£10m think thats an outstanding offer really and what a profit but I wouldnt sell him hes just got so much to improve for us next season!

Re: ' CITY STAR TO BE SOLD FOR £8M-£10M ? '

Sun Mar 08, 2015 2:02 pm

Lets hope not. We had 2 gems Manga and Daehli. We should have built the team around them (and Marshall).
How times have changed at the City in the last two years. Very sad.
That said Manga is premiership class and imo could be a great signing for Arsenal. He deserves to go all the way to the top.

If we got £10 million and invested it in the team then it might not be so bad. BUT not much of the money would be re invested. And I wouldnt trust Slade with £10 let alone £10 m!! :laughing5:

If Manga goes and Slade is still in charge next year then God help us.

Would love to keep Manga and see Slade go.
