I genuinely think he'll be the next, next England number one. 

We had the next England number one but released him for having small ears or something. 

To have a full season and half of first choice league one or higher GK with little rotation playing the style of football we've played... Absolutely made city millions. 

But we also benefited just not to the same degree. He could have been biz and we sent him back quick sharp.

We should give you a pre season friendly and let you keep the profits as a thanks, says my City supporting mate.

And some think they haven't lost themselves up their own arses. 

We'd bring less than them. Silly manc cunts.

Its ok, theres plenty better than him available for buttons @Johnnyrotten

I'm genuinely flabbergasted and interested to see how he gets on at Burnley.

But yes there will be plenty of keepers available on frees/lowish fees that are currently as good as him IMO (nobody has to agree).  Just because Burnley decide to pay stupid money for his undoubted potential doesn't alter that.

good stat

mental

how does a buy back clause work?

are City basically sending him out on an expensive loan to help with FFP?

you'd have to say if he turns out to be a good PL keeper, then Burnley would probably profit from him

I would say its a deal that is good for everyone involved really, sure city put these buy back into every young lad they sell. That Porro that went to spurs recently, City got about £8 million from a sell on clause.

These prem transfer fees are so over the top now, its mental the amounts flying around, that this fee seems cheap on the face of it…and Burnley could make a fortune selling him on again in 2 years.

very very risky going with a young keeper in the prem, not often it works out too well, but you never know.

Ramsdale will miss his chance, he is 25 now…and wont be getting the no 1 spot for 4 years or so….trafford may at that point already be ahead of him.

Thats a crazy fee, they do well city with flogging these young uns.

For context, that fee puts him in the top 15 for most expensive goalkeepers ever, in world football.

English tax + City premium

Kompany lining his ex employers pockets, we are talking Burnley here, they have lost the plot... pop incoming.

He looked very good behind 3  centre halfs in the 3rd Div but it will be  a tougher workload at Burnley!

Every set of fans become unbearable when they get good....you lot in prem was a fkin nighmare at times, than you just all stopped going.

Our lot are unbearable all the time.

That's because we're not daft, we got bored of ourselves as well :D

Why do something as daft as spending money on a match ticket when you could be spending triple that on getting pissed watching it on Al Jazeera in the pub instead?

Thats what match going fans use as a critiscism to Armchair fans of United / RS etc....can't have it both ways....

Anyway.....Just seen a stat, since City opened its new academy, they have generated £300 million is player sales, in 9 years!!!

They will get 20% of this Lavia deal too, could be another £8 million.

What is going on at your place ?  Still no much needed signings,   is this gonna be another season struggle or is there some hold up with being able to spend?

Don’t be suckered by Redcliffe. Man City are the kings of the transfer market. You almost have a city tax to pay on top. To be fair the rags churned some crap out in the 90s and 00’s and did the same just slightly less skilled at it.

Going back to your mates and casinos point they should give us someone good this year as a thank you.

My dislike of City is on a par with United tbh, no suckage here!
