And of course Levy isn't going to pay up for that, inexcusable if he sells Toby on top of that

Really fucking hope De Ligts comments about not wanting to go for the biggest wage along with his agents relationship with Pep will see him come our way.

Yeah, can see us being out but also see some posturing here. We've created a good relationship with Ajax over the years and now they're doing this to us so we're publicly saying see ya. If price comes back to reason with everyone backing down I could see us coming back. Keep in mind I don't think Barca could necessarily outspend us on a back up CB with their financial stuff going on plus just buying Mina.. This screams City all day.

Difficult/looking after their best interests. We’d want the highest possible bid for our players too.

History says that’s where we end up.

Part of me is surprised we're still involved in trying to sign De Ligt.
His agent is Mino Raiola, the guy who allegedly made over £25 million as his cut in the deal that took Pogba from Juve to manure. That scale of payment to an agent is frankly obscene. Paying circa 25 per cent of a transfer fee to an agent is surely going to be increasingly scrutinized by financial authorities.
However, Raiola did call Pep "a dog, a coward". So perhaps Raiola will show he's a man of principle and turn down whatever massive wedge Shitty are offering to persuade De Ligt to go there....

Seems we won’t be getting our top targets this summer...
As long as we can do enough in the market and show enough ambition to appease Poch/Kane/Eriksen then I can get on board. At the moment it doesn’t seem that things are ffalling into place in line with the early very positive ITK for this window...

If Ajax are trying to auction him off his market must be bigger than just City, Juve and us then ...

Only takes one club willing to match us / pay more than us to create an auction...

Absolutely right, we still have 70 pages to go yet.

If we can't get De Ligt then the only acceptable alternative is to keep Toby. It really is as simple as that.

This could also be tied into the news that Poch is going to trust Foyth more next season. Saw that on twitter via CalcioMercato

If the amount is quite a few million upwards of what we paid for Sanchez last season and he is 3 years older and was very highly rated then if this much is not enough for a CB who is 18 years old it begs the question as to what is if our bid was reputed to be in the region of £48m is not acceptable, he must be truly outstanding for that sort of money and upwards and we can't trade blows with City for long if they enter into a bidding war and keep upping the ante, unless he won't sign for them / agree personal terms.
