I'm not convinced but wouldn't be so crass as to leave myself open to stick! @Swanker, you choose a punishment. If he is wrong then he is paying for all of OTIB to go to Pisa.

Gazred Posted August 23, 2021 Report Share Posted August 23, 2021 Crikey, £5m? If we got half that I'd be delighted. Perhaps we've got a bit lucky with the timing of this, Pisa seem to have few quid to invest at the mo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bringing in a striker also depends on this deal going through. Know you're only passing on what you've been told, but I wouldn't expect that money from another Championship team, let alone a Serie B team! If Gould can get that for Nagy, then if Wells does go, we might make a profit!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedRoss Posted August 23, 2021 Report Share Posted August 23, 2021 Were definitely not getting 5 million for Nagy. That would probably be a Pisa record fee for them and double what they've paid for any other players this season with new investment. All for a bit part Championship player who cost us less than 2 mil with one year left on his contract. Plus the fact we are in this covid football market. Not a chance.. I would think about 1 million if were lucky yet ill just be happy we are saving wages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lew-T Posted August 23, 2021 Report Share Posted August 23, 2021 I’m not expecting anywhere near £5-6m but I don’t think it’s going to be £500K like people have suggested… Despite Nagy not taking off here at City, he’s known in Italy and parts of Europe, at a good age, a decent summer under his belt etc. I don’t see why we can’t get £2m for him.

tin Posted August 23, 2021 Report Share Posted August 23, 2021 Pisa are owned by a UK banker who's worth $2bn. With no FFP or any regulation like it in place in Serie B, €5m isn't beyond the realms of possibility. As usual, City will announce it as an undisclosed fee though. Fingers crossed it goes through and we can spend some money before the deadline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCFCGav Posted August 23, 2021 Report Share Posted August 23, 2021 A free would be a bit shocking wouldn't it? Just played very respectably in the Euros? Why not tell them to shove it and await a better bid? Even if we end up keeping him as a squad player, that's better than losing him for nothing.

He won't play, wants to leave, we're desperate to free up the wages. He'll be gone in a year for free anyways.

Davefevs Posted August 23, 2021 Report Share Posted August 23, 2021 Probably repeating what I said above…. From a playing budget point of view there are two costs going through the books this season for Nagy: amortisation cost of £750k wage cost of say £800k For simplicity let’s say we are are end of Aug. Effectively we’ve got circa £700k wages left to pay. If we let him go for zero, all we’ve done is avoid spending £700k on wages. Unless this is adding to a small pot already available, it doesn’t move us that far forward does it? Although, better than keeping Nagy around who won’t play. Even worse if we still pay some of his wages (I doubt this though, but just my opinion). If this is true (would much rather Swanker be right) then it really sums up the current financial climate we are dealing with, and how difficult it is to shift players. 1 minute ago, swanker said: I’d love to put on here some of the other things I was told?
